Fighting with strength based weapons gives xp in strength and in the particular weapon type.

You must read books that gain you experience. You can either buy books or they drop off dead guys you kill

Using a shield is the answer. that worked for me

Melee Combat. Or Simply buy some books and read them.

I'm wondering why Hard Work (Farming, Mining, Woodcutting) doesn't give any Strength ^^

books help I've bought one before but using any weapon i found doesn't do much or very little.

The issue is mostly that the books give some xp continuously while you wont gez much opportunities to train your weapon. Personaly I am hoping for training dummies to be introduced for the first tech levek at some point. I like having units in proper training grounds, would look great.

Not any old melee combat, though. Can't even be animals to get any skill gain.

I have seen an archery range but that's probably the devs trolling because archery can be trained on anything anyway.

The Archery Range is for Towns not for the Player, we also tried almost everything and Mele Combat against Humans is as we know so far the Only way beside Books to increase Strength
