Steph Curry "is listed at 185 pounds but says he now weighs exactly 200"

ESPN:

"He is strong. And when I say strong, I mean strong," Green told ESPN. "Like, if you go in our weight room, and we're doing dumbbell bench press, Steph is in the hundred [pound] club. Not many people get to the hundred club. His legs [are] super strong. That change happened last year."

...

"It's incredible just how much he's changed just in the seven years that I've been here," says Warriors coach Steve Kerr. "I would say over the last three years, it's been really apparent just how much his body has changed."

...

Whether deadlifts, single-arm dumbbell presses, a variety of leaping exercises or simply having Curry stand in a challenging position -- such as holding a quarter squat pose on one leg -- to test muscle endurance, [the Warriors director of performance] soon found that Curry possessed a seemingly bottomless reservoir of strength.
