Strength

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. Also the stronger you are the more damage you do in melee combat and the farther you can throw objects.

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.) Eating royal jelly or giant corpses also excercise your strength. Wearing gauntlets of power is a common and easy way to quickly increase your strength.

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!
