make squats, deadlifts, and cleans part of your regular schedule. when i was training for heavy athletics, i did legs every other day. the more you can squat, the more you can bench. the legs are also the biggest muscle group in the body, and the more you work them, the more your body sends out the signal to grow more muscle. this causes an increase overall.

i'll have to post a pick from a scottish game where i'm tossing a 22' long and 145 lb log (caber toss).
Doing squats sucks, but it is probably the best weight lifting exercise you can do in terms of benefits to the body.
