I see that you hid your question in the subject, forgetting
that it is the extreme summary of the body, rather than an
opening sentence:
A joke. Is it understandable in English?
Yes, I think that joke can be rendered in English:
-- When I was twenty I was lifting 200 kg!
-- Impossible! Even the world record is below that.
-- Yes I was lifting that weight, although I never lifted it.
