    If you wanted to win the Richard K. Fox Heavyweight Strongman Champiionship Belt you had to beat Warren Lincoln Travis at his own game in a challenge match.

    Here's the list of Travis' ten strength challenges:
    1. 100 lb.barbell brought from the floor with both hands, pressed overhead with both hands, while seated(thirty seconds).

    2. Pair of ninety pound weights brought from side of body to shoulders, then slowly pressing to arm's lengh over the head.

    3. Teeth Lift from floor, hands behind back, 350 lbs.

    4. 350 lbs. from floor with one finger, eight times in five seconds.

    5. One finger lift from floor, 560 lbs. once.

    6. Two-hand grip lift, straddling the weight from floor, 700 lbs. twenty times in ten seconds.

    7. Hand and knee lift from floor, 1600 lbs. once.

    8. Back lift, 3660 lbs. once.

    9. Harness lift, 3580 lbs. once.
