Know that strength is one of the six attributes of the player. More strength corresponds to the ability to have more weight in your inventory.

You can exercise it by pushing boulders around. (One possibility: whenever you need to heal, spend your time pushing a boulder back and forth at one of the higher dungeon levels.) Beware of poison; it can reduce your strength, as can hunger to the point of weakness.

Sometimes strength increases when 'you feel sick' after eating a corpse remaining after destroying a mummy or zombie. Eating spinach makes you feel like Popeye!
