OSRS Best Weapons For Strength Training

Created: Apr 30 2025
A player's strength level represents their power or how hard they can hit in melee combat. It is mostly favored over attack level, as it increases max hit, which deals more damage to opponents.
Most weapons and combat equipment give players a strength bonus when worn. A +1 increase in strength bonus is not equivalent to a +1 increase in strength level. It only shows the ability of the weapon or the armour to increase the player’s maximum damage. Generally, two-handed swords have a significantly higher Strength bonus than weapons like daggers made of the same metal.
DPS on a sand crab to calculate the best strength training weapon
To compare the strength training weapons, we have compared their DPS on a sand crab. Higher DPS means higher XP per hour, and therefore it will be better to use for strength training.
Progression of strength training weapons
The better your attack level, the better the weapons that you can use for strength training. We have ordered the strength training weapons from lowest to highest attack. The weapons with higher attack requirements will have higher DPS and therefore also higher XP per hour.

The maximum hit with this weapon in PvP combat is 63, however, it’s major drawback is its poor attack speed.
