Still searching for the perfect program to fix your fitness? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, strength coaches Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson expose why the “one right plan” mindset is keeping lifters stuck. They break down how perfectionism, rigid programming, and unrealistic expectations sabotage long-term progress—and share smarter, more sustainable ways to train for strength, health, and life. Whether you’re burned out, frustrated, or just tired of starting over, this episode will help you trade pressure for progress.

💡 Key Takeaways (Bullets)

The perfect program is a myth—it doesn’t exist
Progress comes from consistency, not perfection
Life isn’t a lab: your training plan should adapt
Burnout often comes from overreaching, not underworking
Sustainable training = systems that flex with your lifestyle
Missed workouts aren’t failure—they’re part of the process
Let go of ego and build physical freedom through awareness
