In this episode of the Totten Talks Podcast, we’re kicking things off with a deep dive into Leo Totten’s early weightlifting journey, filled with firsts and life-shaping lessons that laid the foundation for a legendary career.
Leo and Cait reflect on some of the pivotal moments that helped define Leo’s legacy. From his humble beginnings as a young paperboy—learning early lessons about responsibility and trust—to the way his love for weightlifting blossomed in a small home gym, the path to becoming a renowned coach and lifter wasn’t always smooth, but it was always driven by passion.
Leo shares the story of how he earned the money to buy his first set of weights, how he taught himself the snatch and clean & jerk in a cramped space, and how those early experiences not only shaped his training style but taught him invaluable life skills. It wasn’t about the fancy equipment or a coach holding his hand—it was about determination and self-discipline, lessons that are central to the Totten Training philosophy today.
Tune in as we reflect on where it all started and the exciting things still to come in this incredible legacy.
