Ep 117: Starting Strength, the Novice Effect, and Barbell Lifts with Cody Annino

Ep 117: Starting Strength, the Novice Effect, and Barbell Lifts with Cody Annino

By Philip Pape, Evidence-Based Nutrition Coach & Fat Loss Expert

Do you want to become stronger, healthier, and more resilient?

Do you want to learn how to use the most effective tool for building strength and improving your quality of life?

Today, I am joined by Cody Annino, a Starting Strength Coach based out of Moodus, CT. I reached out to him a few years back when I first learned about Starting Strength for some coaching on my basic lifts. He is why I started squatting and pressing the right way after months of frustration. Everyone can benefit from a technique coach, even for a few sessions.

I invited him on to talk about the transformative power of barbell training. You&aposll learn the principles and benefits of Starting Strength, some common misconceptions about strength training, and the novice effect. We&aposll compare different training methods, look at how barbell training impacts mental health, and touch on the future of online versus in-person coaching in the fitness world. Cody is a big believer in the power of strength for lifelong health and resilience, as am I.

Cody owns and operates Annino Strength & Conditioning, a small family-owned black iron gym in central Connecticut. Cody is a Central Connecticut State University graduate who has been working full-time as a professional coach since 2016. He has experience helping people of all ages and ability levels become stronger and healthier through barbell training.
