Fake weights, no doubt. Look at what like guys like Larry Wheels are doing who are blessed with significantly better strength genetics and who also weigh quite a bit more than Lee and it becomes almost comical.

He has to be trolling people

Of course he was joking.  Watch the above video at 9:00.

When I first saw the video a few days ago I thought the 220 looked way to East for him.I mean what does lee weigh 220-230?

Also though most strict curls I see aren’t really legit strict curls.Wheels is prob the only one I’ve seen legit strict curl.Ass and shoulders have to stay on wall and most kick out with ass so while it is a strict curl it’s not a legit strict curl for most I’ve seen. Not to mention people doing them just standing not against anything, that’s no real strict curl.

Those big red plates are 2.5 kg each, not 25kg.

The blue ones are 20 kg

So he's lifting 45 kg + whatever the bar weighs.

Wouldn't have been a strict curl anyway, he wasn't flat backed during it :). You have to be more or less ramrod straight during the lift for it to count, once there is any rock/swing, it's not counted.

Notice, their wide bumper plates has the weight letters in alot smaller font like the one Lee is using:

All the 25kg ATX versions has 25kg in larger font like this, and the kg under the 25:

I'd say Lee= Busted

So about 145 pounds.
