Muscular strength, as opposed to brains (5)

I believe the answer is:

brawn

(Other definitions for brawn that I've seen before include "Pressed cooked meat; strength" , "Beefiness" , "perhaps, a sandwich filling" , "Strength; a jellied loaf" , "Beefy strength" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
