Increasing strength with Franklin

[DLM]

Michael and Trevor can both play tennis. A few games and you easily hit 100. On the other hand Franklin only has access to golf which seems to do nothing. So what is the best way to increase his stat? Don't tell me I should just randomly beat people in the streets...

That's one small issue I have with the game...One way to increase strength is to punch people but as soon as you attack 2+ people in succession, the police will always come for you.

Why didn't they include some boxing, fighting, or lifting area for a legit improvement (no police) of strength?

tennis, golf and arm wrestling will increase your strength

does stats influence something? i only care about maxing the special ability and maybe driving

-Find a bus with a driver in it.
-Climb on top of the bus.
-Keep stamping on the bus, but try to keep your balance (should be easy).
-You will get a wanted level but most of the time the bus will evade the cops.
If you fall off try and keep focus on the bus, it will despawn otherwise.

The player's physical power and resilience. Boosts melee damage, speeds up ladder climbing, improves sporting agility, and reduces damage taken from various sources (Including damage to armor). Increase by scoring hits in melee combat and practicing sports. For every 20 punches the player land, the strength skill will raise by 1%. Killing cows on the grapeseed farms gives you almost the same amount of percent for every 20 punches. Playing sports such as Golf or Tennis will assist in enhancing this skill.

Franklin doesn't have access to tennis. I've played some golf and I haven't seen any improvement on top of being the most boring activity in the game.

I honestly expected boxing for Franklin the same way the other guys can play tennis. Hitting people in the street and evading the police every couple of passants quickly gets old.

Thanks, will try that.

it has been patched in gta online so my guess is that its patched in sp too

That's a shame, guess the only way would be to go down to the pier and punch the hell out of npcs wearing a mask. Doesn't the mask reduce a wanted level when you take it off whilst hidden from the cops?

Franklin should have been able to play tennis in Gta 5.
It actually was supposed to be a feature i think, because i found some files in the game's directory called tennis_franklin or something.
I found various audio file containers and clip dictionaries suggesting that Franklin would have been able to play tennis at some point, but it was probably cut during the game's development.
I don't know why it was cut, but it's really irritating getting Franklin's strength to 100.
Here's the proof: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OmuEslEYjBwss8VoO5jGVUYeOPu-MPxg?usp=sharing
You can find the files yourself by searching the names up in OpenIV.
