Deadlifts, squats, rackpulls, bench presses, leg presses are all great compound exercises for overall strength. A youtube channel called AthleanX can teach you how to train as an athlete.

You just need to hold frame brah, lifting is not required.

Might b a lil late hombre, those guys were born thousands of miles away and worked until they got here, you can’t imagine what theyve seen, trying to get on their level would be like hitching a poodle to the plow, your wife can pull harder, esse?

Like you can’t want America as hard bc you’re softened by the city, by the computers. Three days in the desert and you’d be dead, amigo.

My good man,

What you are witnessing is what many people call “functional strength”

A body builder can indeed grow muscles, and be strong. But his body underwent specialized motions, specific repetitions, in controlled environments.

A really good example would be to pit a track runner versus a wilderness runner.

The sheer amount of core engagement by running over uneven terrain would exhaust a track runner in no time.

If you want functional strength, stick to body weight exercises. And forget getting a body like a body builder.

Perhaps a really good way to start would be to wear a small backpack with a few thick books. Wear it as long as you can. You’ll see in fifteen minutes how “weak” your shoulders and back is.

Try to pick up long distance, off-trail hiking.

Or maybe even work weekends with construction crews. You’ll get there.

Best of luck.

Lifting styles are different. If all you want is strength, don't focus on form. Lift heavy with low rep range (3-4). Don't "chase the pump" by contracting the muscle before the lift, don't lift to muscle failure. Focus on controlling the eccentric(lowering of the weight) portion of the exercise. That is when the most micro-tears(good thing) happen in the muscle.

You have to deadlift to develop a total body, not just do bicep curls and bench presses. I also do farmers walks along with the trap bar deadlifts. If you only do upper body you'll throw out your back if you try to do serious work.

There are aesthetic lifts and there are strongman lifts. Two different things. Strong men eat 1 metric shitton bc in their case it improves strength. Guarantee those hombres may be fat but they don't jiggle. Fat can hide a lot of muscle.

Just saw this and thought I would share:

Also I have heard a way of working out called convict conditioning. There are books and videos on this you can check it out and see if it suits you.

You can get all the core strength you want with gravity and your own body weight. Boot camp proved that to me

How do I gain more upper body strength, gain more stamina, and get tougher ie. if I were thrown in a fight I could stand a chance?

If you want to gain strength, you should lift heavy weights. There is a reason that this is the go-to means of developing strength for athletes.

If you want more stamina, find some sort of cardio workout that you find tolerable, and do some high intensity interval training.

If you want to "get tougher" and be able to fight, take up a martial art that has you regularly sparring at full resistance. This can double as your cardio.

2 options, both simple OPTION ONE:

You wanna be strong? Wanna get paid to do it? BECOME A DAY LABORER. I.E. Construction, Plumbing, Roofing, Trades, etc SAUCE: ME, Trades

When I was most active in trades every day I worked from 8-14 hours daily lifting 100+lbs trusses, moving them to and fro - ALL DAY.

Result. I was FAT at 268lbs, But I could bench 400lbs for 10 reps and OUTRUN teenagers. This all at the ripe age of 33.

Yeah, you look CUTE with "MUSCKLES" from going to the GYM 3 times a week for an hour.

But I was strong AS FUCK cause I was at the GYM (THE JOB) ALL DAY FOR 14 HOURS, EVERY DAMN DAY.

And forget stamina! I could do a 14 hour shift, fuck like a racehorse, get 4 hours of sleep and do another 14 hours shift.

Never discount the STRENGTH BUILDING of REAL HARD WORK.

Option 2: the CALLISTENIC WAY

BEFORE I got my job and I was young in was into MARTIAL ARTS AND CALLESTNEICS

People SAY do pushups and situps but they don't know how or WHY

BUY A BOOK CALLED CONVICT CONDITIONING ON AMAZON.

Do all your excercises SLOW. The SLOWER THE BETTER. SLOWER SIMULATES MORE WEIGHT TO YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM MORE WEIGHT STIMULATES MORE STRENGTH GROWTH. SAUCE: ME, AGAIN.

In and around my 20's all the way up to 28. Did the following.

3 circuits of the following EVERY NIGHT (EXCEPT WEEKENDS) AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE

10 wide pushups 10 situps 10 Back arches

10 close pushups 10 crunches 10 pelvic thrusts, graduate to two sets of one-leg pelvic thrusts (jsut hold your other leg up in the air)

10 diamond pushups 10 donkey kicks 10 side leg lifts (look like a dog peeing on a fire-hydrant) 10 ONE-LEGGED SQUATS (go as low as you can at first, even if its an inch - In one year you'll be damn near squatting)

10 Hand stand pushups 10 Back bridges (like you are going to back flip, and a precursor to it) 10 leg Raises

EVERY-NIGHT - Average time = 1 hour for 3 circuits done to rhythmic music

Results back then: Never touched a weight. Had serious athletic looking "GYM"body, but was ACTUALLY VERY STRONG Went to GYM for the first time - Squatted 350lbs CAn't remember the rest. Also, I was STRONG where other people weren't

GYM muscles are often just for show, OFTEN the muscles are big, but the JOINTS, TENDONS and SMALL Muscles WERE WEAK.

Just move a musclebound "GYM" guy at an odd angle, and all of a sudden he was weak as a kitten.

MY STRENGTH WAS COMPLETELY AND UNIVERSALLY GOOD at ALL ANGLES.

Give it a TRY don't believe me? Want to do one-handed unassisted pull ups?

GET THE BOOK.

The problem with the gym is that you work one muscle at time so you can get strong arms but when you punch (I'll use it as example) it's not just your arms working, there is something called "kinetic chain". All the muscles work together when you try to punch something (your triceps, chest, abs, shoulder, the position of your feet and even your legs' movement is important to throw a good punch), when you train at the gym one muscle at time, they get unbalanced.

They are strong because they've probably spent their entire life doing heavy work just like you mentioned. Their body developed the muscles all together so the straight is well balanced.

I think to get that you're gonna have to do extreme workouts that work your body at the same time and for many months and maybe years and have a high carbo nutrition plan. (these guys probably eat a lot to have energy to do this type of work)
