Caden Cahoy isn’t “new”— he’s been lifting since he was 8. But the last year made something obvious to the whole world: he’s not just talented… he’s one of the best in the world.

We talk legacy, pressure, and the long game:

• Florida’s weightlifting pipeline and growing up in the sport

• Why strength isn’t always the first superpower—and how he’s building it now

• The 85kg move: maturity, mass, and the runway to LA 2028

• How elite lifters think when the bar feels impossibly heavy, but they lift it anyway

• Bahrain, Worlds, and the mindset behind taking world-record-level attempts

• The difference between being scared of the moment vs. loving it

If you want a look behind the totals and inside the mindset of an athlete aiming at Olympic greatness, this one’s for you.
