Analyst note

A British Powerlifting approved club in Peckham that only opens for supervised sessions with a qualified coach. No wandering, no curls in the squat rack: just the three lifts, taught properly.

Legitimate iron. A touch of polish, but the work counts.

Rating: LegitReal iron, lightly polished. The work counts.
