Hi Biagio,

I think you mean brains and brawn. Brawn is muscular strength. This expression is used as: He not only has brains but brawn as well. This means he's not only strong intellectually but physically as well.

Thanks a lot!
That's the reason I wasn't able to find the meaning anywhere!
Have a nice day!
