Analyst note

A member-run 24/7 KDKS club in Ottenbach with five IPF-approved bars, Eleiko and ER competition racks, 1,500+ kg of Eleiko calibrated plates and a wall of specialty bars (Swiss, Buffalo, Safety Squat, Bastard). About as far from a commercial gym as it gets.

Five IPF bars and 1,500 kg of calibrated Eleiko. If it says 200 here, it was 200.

Rating: Iron TempleA PR here is worth more than the plates on the bar.
