Meet Your Coach

I'm Octavio Sanchez. I have had many trials while training consistently with serious strength numbers—not because I'm gifted, but because I've learned what actually works.

Over 10+ years of training, I've wasted time on complicated programs that promised everything and delivered nothing. I've made every mistake beginners make. I wrote "Shut Up and Lift" to help people avoid that confusion and focus on what actually builds strength.

I'm not a full-time fitness influencer selling supplements. I'm a working professional who balances demanding work with consistent training. I understand your reality because I live it.

Tired of Programs That Don't Work?

Spinning Your Wheels

You're training hard but not getting stronger. You don't know if you're doing too much, too little, or if your program even makes sense.

Drowning in sophistry

Every 'guru' has a different method. You're confused by contradictory advice and paralyzed by overthinking.

No Accountability

You can find a program online, but you need someone who knows your situation and keeps you on track.

The fitness industry profits from keeping you confused. You don't need another 12-week program PDF. You need a coach who cuts through the noise.

The Chi-Rho Approach: Strength Without the Noise

Simple, Not Easy

No complexity for the sake of complexity. Just intelligent programming focused on progressive overload and consistent execution.

No-Nonsense Coaching

Straight talk. No supplement pitches. No dependency-creating complexity. Just honest guidance to help you get stronger.

Built for Real Life

Programs designed for people with jobs, families, and responsibilities. Not 2-hour gym sessions. Sustainable strength.

Whether you're a complete beginner or stuck spinning your wheels on complicated programs, I'll help you cut through the BS and focus on what actually works.
