test your strength
Mallet and bell
Test your strength refers to fairground or carnival games where players swing a mallet to strike a pad, sending a puck up a tower toward a bell—the harder the hit, the higher it goes.
The phrase extends to any challenge measuring physical power or, figuratively, resolve: This negotiation will really test your strength.
