  • Anvil Lifting


    • The anvil has long been a symbol of power and many, many strongmen have built tremendous strength by using it as a training tool. Here we have Mr. Peter C. Morse of Coffeyville, Kansas who likely never touched a barbell in his life. But one day way back when, he wanted to see if he could lift the old anvil in the back of his barn.

    At first, he could not, but every few days decided to come back and have a go. Eventually he could not only pick it up but perform this pretty impressive holdout by the horn - something that you won't find many people able to replicate even a hundred years later.
