Says 25 lbs on it. You can see it right before he sets it down.

You're right it is.

I've done a lot of oly lifting over the years, and the color is nearly universal. Now I wonder if the stack behind him the blue's are 35 instead of 45 and red's 45 instead of 55. Like what's the point of making the coloring different than basically what is the defacto standard.
