Ep. 312: Old School vs. New School Weightlifting | Leo Totten (East Coast Gold)
Description
This week, I sat down with Leo Totten — coach, educator, and founder of Totten Training Systems and East Coast Gold Weightlifting.
Leo has spent over five decades shaping American weightlifting as an athlete, coach, and mentor. We discuss the evolution of training — from learning the Olympic lifts out of old Strength & Health magazines to building one of the most successful club systems in the country.
We talk about the roots of programming, the balance between research and experience. Leo also reflects on the importance of mentorship, legacy, and doing things “the right way, for the right reasons, with the right people.”
Enjoy.
