When I was young I used to lift my weight in anvils and walk them around. Now that I am older than I used to be I try to hold the lifting/walking down to half my weight and even then prefer to have the youngsters move the anvils and stumps while I do the brain work of deciding which tools to take to an offsite demo.
Recently I did load my 400# anvil in my pickup by myself; but used levers, rollers and a comealong and so never "lifted" it.
