Strength Training

Anyone figure out a quick way to level this up? Only one I've got is being overweight.

Overweight until level 5, then spam shake vending machines. It's about 2x as fast as running, which still takes forever but its something.

the most effective way i've found, is to have enough weight in your inventory to put the bar into the pink ( just under reaching the red ), and to keep moving forward, as you will only gain strength exp while you're moving.

Yeah, there is fine line between one threshold that give the most XP and going too heavy and getting no XP.

You could do a boring grind and walk around in your base holding heavy stuff, or just through normal game play carry a lot back to base. Just make sure your path is clear when heading back or can drop stuff fast if attacked.

Note: Using the platform cart will not count as walking, since it is treated as a vehicle, for better or worse. Better in terms of movement, worse in terms of Leg Day.

while your encumberence meter is pink, crouch strafe while shaking vending machines

If you overweight your inventory to pink AND your armor to MAX encumberence, you get a bit more XP. It's not much but that's how I did it in a couple of hours from 10 to 15. Add the vending machine shaking and you can be there in no time.

Wearing heavy armor seems to always increase strength EXP even with a mostly empty inventory (well, when moving).

Getting the firesale buff means there's no point where your inventory is too overloaded to get exp, so that's a good one to have to ensure you get strength exp even when looting tons of things.

Use bionic legs, it increases movement speed overall, which means even at heavier loads you move quickly. The important thing is your speed, it determines how often you gain XP ticks, but the encumbrance determines how much of that XP.

So if you raise your agility to be very fast and start strength training, you can gain more from the high speed.

Yeah, a recent update now has you get Strength XP while wearing enough armor weight to fully encumber you. It helps with leveling up Strength.

get super overweight, crouch and then walk inbetween two or three vending machines, shaking them periodically. also eat the A&L Mega-Stew and human brain (maybe also wear the secret trinket that grants even more exp) for max xp and you`ll get max level in an hour

Just put on heavy armor, strength will level up by itself.
