Struggling to stay consistent with strength training? Feel like you're always starting over? In this episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson deliver a realistic guide to long-term strength—not hype, not hacks—just what actually works for lasting progress, muscle, and freedom.
💡 Key Takeaways
Physical freedom = the ability to adapt and train for life—not just 12-week spurts
You don’t need 6 weeks—you need 18–24 months of structured training
Muscle = your emergency fund for long-term independence
A coach can accelerate your growth and cut years off your learning curve
Training through life (injury, kids, stress) is a skill you can build
You’re not “off the wagon”—you’re always training, just in different seasons
Stop starting over. Build habits and systems that stick.
