About Marcus Chen

I've been training with gymnastic rings for over 8 years, starting as a complete beginner who couldn't even do a single ring dip. Through consistent training and lots of trial and error, I've mastered advanced movements like the iron cross and one-arm chin-up.

My goal is to share what I've learned so you can avoid the mistakes I made and progress faster and safer. Every article is based on real experience, not just theory.
