Pure Training

is the name of the fitness studio where I went today to do a free trial workout. It's basically the next step up from McFit--a little cleaner, a little less crowded, a little more expensive. Their free weights are strangely dense, and therefore have very small diameters, so I'm not sure how well they will work for serious deadlifting or olympic stuff...and they also don't have matted flooring, so things are pretty limited in that department anyway. But the cool thing is that they have a gymnastics rings station, a set of parallel bars stamped "CCCP" and enough ceiling that you can do muscle-ups there as well. The bar is pretty slick so grip becomes a problem, but hey. It's better than McFit...and I heard Ellie Goulding's "Lights". That was cool. So, this was my workout:

Muscle-ups: 4, 3, 3
5 deadlift to snatch to 10 overhead squats 16kg
3 deadlift to clean to push jerk 36kg
Snatch to 3 overhead squats 36kg
3 deadlift to clean to push jerk 56kg
3 deadlift to clean to push jerk 56kg
Clean to push jerk to snatch balance to 3 overhead squats 56kg
Front squat: 1 at 66kg, 2x4 at 56kg, 2x3 at 61kg
3x(10 ring pullups, 10 ring pushups, 10 parallel bar leglifts)
