There is nothing on the Shuttle called the LRB that I know of.
There is the SRB (Solid Rocket Booster), which contains no LOX or LH2, only a solid fuel.
The ET (External Tank) holds 1,361,936 pounds of LOX and 227,641 pounds of LH2, when fully loaded. Even though there is way less LH2, by weight, it takes up most of the space in the tank because of its extremely low density.

Go to nasa.gov and find the specs there on the shuttles.
Plus a whole lot more information that's very interesting.
