Well that does give their mouth & tongue a good work out doesn't it?

Tire buster (guy who installs your tires at the tire store). When I was younger, I had to do that in 100+ degree heat in Sacramento..
 
Heavy Equipment Repairman in the International Union of Operating Engineers. You will never get fat no matter how much you eat and you will never lay awake at night because you are not tired. Do not enter this trade if you have an aversion to broken fingers, arms, ankles, abrasions, cuts, contusions or 2nd degree burns. It is not a 9 to 5 job, you work 6/12's on average. The money is better than most college graduates earn, but you earn every penny.
 
Be an industrial diver. (Oil company, geologist, oceanography...etc)

Those dudes are super muscular and they don't even touch weights. It's all from being in the water on dives all the time.
 
I got pretty tough during my tenure operating a cutting machine in an industrial print shop. It's not that the work was all that strenuous, but it involved working a foot pedal and constantly manipulating a 4-foot shaft. Also, every so often you have to mount a large roll of paper on the machine and those weigh a few hundred pounds. You don't lift the whole roll at once--you put it on a pneumatic spindle and lift one side at a time, but it's heavy nonetheless.

Did that for 9 hours a day and by then end of a few months, I had arms and legs like a cheetah. It was additionally helpful that I was performing in a dance-heavy musical.

But it's the kind of work that won't get you power lifting hundreds of pounds, but it will make you very well-toned. Honestly, if I could get paid what I get paid now to do that job, I'd seriously consider going back 🙂
 
Deep sea fishermam. Moving the lines or cages and then hauling the fish or crabs and what not around.
