How important is strength for shtf?

You gotta be in peak physical form like picrelated

Also, the more lean muscle mass you have on your body, the stronger your ligaments and other connecting muscle tissue will be, leaving you more resilient toward overuse injuries like stress fractures.

When I first joined the military, I was pretty scrawny so the hikes and forced marches killed me. I got better at it while putting on muscle, and they became easier for me. When I got selected for a SMU, finished the pipeline and got sent to an operational unit, 80% of the guys there ranged from jack3d to YOKED. Pretty sure that wasn't a coincidence.

So DEX>STR?

You should be able to lift your body with full gear, guns. Run for long periods of time, and not be a pussy.

BEING FAT IS FOO FOO LAME

End>str
Dex>str
Int>str

Str sucks in modern warfare.

They compliment each other

cope harder rogue faggots

You absolutely must be in ok shape (be thin and able to do any bodyweight exercise 20 times at the absolute minimum). After that point you still benefit, but after you can lift 1/2/3/4 plate your returns diminish quickly. However, you can't ever have too high a stamina, too much agility or be too fast, period.

>t. dumbfuck

"military" strength is a strength/cardio mix, and it's the cap on int and dex. an exhausted genius with trembling hands after a 6 mile has an effective IQ of 90.

Guns scale to dex the most. Deal with it.

So in other words it's not strength.

You probbably wont be carrying as much gear or wont have near the amount of food as U.S military unless you are one of those retards who will take 2 rifles a shotgun and a pistol.

Gonna take a lot of calories to feed muscles. And preferably you have a gun or a knife. Its leagues better than being a fat ass or a vegan who's never been to the gym. But it's not insanely important.

>t. man who can't do 10 pullups in a row, hike 12 miles with a ruck, etc

Unless you have a mosin. Then it's does more damage as a two handed club, which is str based. Plus if you stat dump str you can't wear anything more than soft body armor, so good luck with that.

You need to hit the sweet spot with excellent endurance, cardio and some strength. If you don't have time to train for all of it cardio gets priority because it'll help you live even when all things are good. No need to be xbox hueg or some pro lifter.

>genuinely have this body now
>it’s from being riddled with disease for year
>I hate it but I’m stuck like this

Do guys like him not eat? Or is it hard drugs? If you’re healthy there’s no excuse being this thin as a man. Like just eat and do push-ups aha

>this is what normies consider strong

He did gay porn, so maybe it’s AIDS?

>reasons for looking like auschwitz 'survivor'
hard drug use
poor diet
high metabolism

Cardio and endurance are the most important. Raw strength isn’t bad but it takes a lot to get there and maintain, which can be completely disastrous when the supply trains are fucked and food is scarce. Even if you can deadlift a semi if you can’t hike/ruck at least a few miles carrying some gear without becoming completely exhausted and needing an entire chicken to sate hunger your gym rat gains won’t really mean shit, especially since firearms are now used instead of grug clubs.

I bet you 50% of the population cannot do a single proper pull up

>an exhausted genius with trembling hands after a 6 mile has an effective IQ of 90.
As does the moron who has the brain workers doing grunt work. You keep the genius off the line, and feed him every scrap of situational info you can dig up.

It's honestly more like 80%. Most good and young cannot, most women cannot, and many proper age men are out of shape or too fat.

Old and young*
Phoneposting is a hell.

If you arent 1/2/3/4 you're too weak basically. That'll be enough mass to have a lot of endurance without being a weak bitch

t. strongman huffing and puffing after 2 flights of stairs

He’s got very low bodyfat, look at how the arm veins pop out
Also can you show us please, no homo

>be strong
>can carry 60lbs more stuff with ease
cigarette smoking lanklets BTFO

It's just a low body fat percentage with a tiny amount of weight training
Girls unironically love ottermode

1/2/3/4 is a reasonable goal for a normal sized adult male.

If you think having a 1000lb total means you're a strongman then you are pathetically weak lmao. 1/2/3/4 is easily achievable within 3 years of training by literally any relatively healthy adult male that isn't a sub 5'6 turbomanlet.

That's literally 0 weight training, play basketball and maybe rock climb once a week and dont eat a lot and you will look like that

Actually on second glance you dont even need to play sports at all, just dont eat a lot and you will look like that eventually

>hopped in this thread expecting to read some retarded ass shit
>actually not that much retarded ass shit
Good job guys

fpbp
t. lardass

I'm having déjà vu here.

Jokes on you guys, I have retard strength - I don't even go to the gym and 98% of the time I'm the strongest guy in the room

Every man should be strong. Physical training including and not limited to weight lifting also increases ones mental fortitude.
Guns may eliminate the need to swing the sword down hard on an opponent but not the need for a good baseline of strength:

If you cant run then you're not gonna make it

as long as you have the strength necessary to carry all of your gear comfortably it's all endurance from then onwards

The most important physical aspect for surviving the boogaloo is being overweight.
Having endurance and strength is meaningless once you run out of food.

Probably WIS is the strongest stat for any class in SHTF; Medicine, Perception, and Survival checks are all based on it. Second place is CON, again for everybody, because your saves against poison, disease, and exhaustion will all be based on it, and everybody could use more hitpoints.
After that, it's all a matter of class selection. If your class calls for more long-distance mobility, you'll want STR to keep your encumbrance threshold up. It's also useful for melee combat, but that's a last resort in SHTF conditions even for STR whores. Other than that it's only really good for Athletics checks, which can often be avoided. However, if you're going to focus more on ranged combat, DEX increases your ranged attack and damage rolls, and even your AC. On top of all that, it boosts your Stealth checks. As if that weren't enough, it even adds to your Initiative checks. DEX is the clear winner here.
That just leaves us with INT and CHA. It's pretty clear that from a pure optimization standpoint, INT should be more useful. At least try to make sure you don't have a negative modifier, so you can identify things somewhat reliably. That said, you want to make sure at least one person on the team didn't dump CHA, because it's important for Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Deception rolls. If you're going to have any amount of NPC interaction, somebody has to put a few points in this. The last thing you want is to piss off the merchants.
So that leaves us with a stat lineup that looks like this, for a lone character in an SHTF scenario:
WIS>CON>DEX>STR>INT>CHA
Of course you want to make sure you have a diverse party of specialists for optimal group balance, but this array should be best in solo play.

Fuck off Clabe you ginger cuck
