Analyst note

Under the rail arches in Deptford: eight atlas-stone platforms with stones from 30 to 143 kg, plate-loadable logs and calibrated plates. There is no smoothie bar. There is a 143 kg stone.

The stones go to 143 kg and do not care about your PR. Everything here counts.

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