Bearhugs

Alabama bearhugs

As a personal trainer I would concur that you'd want good lat and bi strength. I would add that I personally would focus on endurance training as much as I would strength. Probably battle ropes, cardio row, heavy bag carries, isometrics to failure, etc. I probably would also incorporate core, esp lower back. It doesn't do you any good to have a good hug if your core can't support it.

Thanks immensely, note taken.

cable and dumbell flies, bench presses

that makes the muscled lats wide and winged like

Thank you, goldstrike and Buff Poser, both are very generous by sharing your knowledge... and both look really great!!!

Any pulling exercise rows deadlifts pull ups an bicep work I'd say would be the most important

Thank you very much!!

Which exercise should I do to give better (stronger) bearhugs?

I really would like to know...
