Jowett was a very prominent figure in the physical culture world as a writer, lifter, strongman and promoter.  One of the stunts for which he is most famous featured a large blacksmith's anvil, which he supposedly gripped by the horn with one hand, swung up to his shoulder, flipped so that he caught it upside down in his hand, and then pressed over his head.  Jowett claimed to be the only man who could do this feat.  However, leading strength historians are in agreement that Jowett, who was also famous for his exaggerations, never made such a lift. In any case, Jowett's own anvil will be used\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tin the challenge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eIt weighs approximately 163 pounds and will be placed on the platform with its horn pointing upward. The challenge will be to simply grasp it by the horn with either hand, lift it off the ground and walk\/run as far as possible forth and back across the front part of the 50' stage within 30 seconds. The prize-money ($1000) will go to the man who carries it the greatest distance.

The challenge will be to deadlift the bar for as many repetitions as possible within 30 seconds using a double-overhand (pronated) grip.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSumo and traditional deadlifting styles are both permitted and the bell may be \"hitched\" on the way up as long as the lifter is standing straight at the end of the lift.
