Ways to up your strength bar

[Murciélago]

Back in patch 1.06, our strength bar went up when we punched our personal vehicles with a pistol(circle button). I'm not sure if it still works but it's worth a try.

I got mine by standing on a truck and kicking it while it drove around the city. Then rockstar decided that was cheating and reset my bar. So I golfed, thanks for that rockstar, golf

Haha. I did it on top of a bus. (Still possible in SP btw)

 

Also, the stat bar itself was screwed up. Those, like me, who didn't mess with it while it showed only 1 bar in the stats (even tho I still climbed like spider man and ate mad bullets) Had it go back to normal once the bug was fixed.

Personally I load of Rooftop Rumble because its a quick mission to do. Then I go to the beach during the mission and run up and down the beach punching people out. Just tap R2/RT when you're behind someone (you don't need to be close, you'll do an ultra-realistic slide in their direction) and you will 1 shot women and usually need to hit a man twice to kill them. This will also get your stamina up if that isn't maxed either.

so your saying I golfed for nothing? Good thing there is no serenity stat because I skipped yoga in sp

Tired it and does not work for strength but does for other things.

I just ran around punching and chasing down NPCs whenever I was bored. Usually 10 minutes of doing that would help me gain around 1 bar.

[dutchleader123]

the way i did it works pretty good, don't know if it's faster then golf. i went into the creator and made a deathmatch (not teamdeathmatch) with maximum spawn points. then just set target score to none and time to what ever you want (took me about 40min to go from 1 bar to full bar). Then do a test run and start punching de npc's that spawn for the time the deathmatch last (you can even select an option so you don't die even if the npc's start hitting you). pretty easy way and there will always be people to punch where as i was doing the start a mission and go to the beach methode there where not as much npc's at the time as they started running as soon as you hit someone.

So hows punching bitches going then?

[toybasher]

Supposedly strength increases max health but we have a seperate max health stat for online (Increases when leveling up.)

 

It also supposedly improves melee damage but when attacking peds it seems no matter what only a few punches take them out.

The way I upped my strength to max was to grind the mission 'Pier Pressure'. It takes less than 5 minutes to finish the actual mission, then I would head over to the path by the shops that border the beach and beat the infinity spawning NPCs to death for another 10 minutes. Police are turned off during this mission. You make about $14000 and 3000+ xp stretching out the mission this way if memory serves. I maxed strength very quickly this way.

While we're on boosting stats, High Priority Case is where you max Stealth. Kill the guys on the top level, move down the first level up, head out right above the guys holding the case, go stealthy, rubber band your stick and stealth around in circles for 10 mins or so. Stealth shoots right up.

Golf all day. Much faster than mission pedestrian punching and less tedious.

Play one round of golf. There is no bonus to play more rounds.

[Jammsbro]

Go to the beach and keep punching people while staying on the move. Takes ages, but you get there.

[Nanabaum]

Start a mission solo, one close to the beach. Go there and beat the hell outta everyone you see whilst running up and down the street. It soon turns into a herding sheep type escapade and after about 15 or 20 minutes you'll get a notification showing your strength has been maxed. I did this about 3 weeks ago, xbox 1.. So pretty sure it has not been patched or what not.

Go Afroman at Vespucci Beach on all the sunbathers, body builders and people walking the pier. Body Builders will usually want to fight to so more opportunities to pad your counter stats and up your strength. I tried to fight on a mission and my stat didn't go up. Not sure if R* patched it. I had to do it in freemode. So ya you will have the po-po comin' at cha. Either call Lester to have the cops turn a blind eye. If you're not a high enough rank you're just gonna have to deal with and and grab a ATV and hide under the pier or in the ocean. Usually it doesn't get to bad though until you get 2 stars.

You sure? I found my strength increased more the more holes I played.
