The 7 Best Exercises to Build Brute Strength

Normal deadlift

Deadlifting as much weight as possible tests your strength. To avoid shifting your center of gravity and straining your low back, keep the bar close to your legs.

Barbell squat

Herbst writes, “Strongmen chuckle when they watch someone load the bar with too much weight and then squat high, executing a ‘nosebleed squat.'

Bench press

The classic chest workout for strength. Plant your feet to practice "getting drive" from your legs.  Squeeze shoulder blades and grip the bar wider than shoulder-width.

Shoulder press

Sitting down to move additional weight is a mistake. Herbst believes the military press is called that because you're meant to stand at attention.
