Normal strength.

That's a really difficult question to answer. He's pretty fit, but because he spends all his time running, his body is probably trained more for endurance than raw physical strength.

That said, this thread is bound to get wonky once you factor in how fast he runs, because he can accelerate to obscene velocities and therefore generate ridiculous amounts of force. Like, picture a bullet. That shit's small, but it's the velocity that lets it tear through everything it can.

Now picture a bullet the size of a fist traveling at like mach twelve. I'm pretty sure Flash punched some dude into orbit, at least twice.

And if we're talking about in relation to other heroes, the fact that he can accelerate to ludicrous speeds such as one half-the-world/second actually place him near, if not at the top of bullshit power rankings when he really cuts loose. Because seriously, it doesn't matter how strong you are if you're moving fast enough to deliver a punch approaching infinite mass in its impact. It's one of the reasons he's so appealing, at first you think he's just some weak ass guy who can only run fast, and then he really cuts loose and holy shit he just did like ten laps around the planet in a few seconds, wrecking your shit on each pass.

This velocity has also been shown to apply to lifting heavy objects, to a degree. I distinctly remember things like Flash lifting extremely heavy objects, but once he slows down a bit he ended up dropping whatever it was because he didn't have the momentum to help him move it.

So really, in the end, it boils down to "How much bullshit are we talking here?", because really Flash is one of those "As strong as the plot demands he is" heroes.

He's a cardiofag.

Nothing about the Flash makes sense physically, it's best not to think about it.

Well theres the problem m8, his strength increases due to his speed. What happens when you get hit by a car?

two explainations:

1: speed force. kinda deus exish but it "fixes" all the holes in the physics because "It's magic, I ain't gotta say shit"

2: he runs sp fast he walks on air this guy is fucking sick

He's literally as fit as he is because of the speedforce. You can't just subtract that from the equation. It's like asking how strong is Superman without super strength? Like... that's not a superpower. That's just who he is.

You can say Kryptonite or Red Sun Radiation weakens him but that's exactly what it does, it weakens him. That's not regular strength, that's weakened strength.

>What happens when you get hit by a car?
Bad example. A car weighs at least close to a ton, with lots of power behind it. Any car, even a fucking Fiat 500, can squish you even with snail speed. A 70kg human can't.

>>84368917
Well he's got carry people while running and it's not like he's running by a top speed, he's going fast enough to gently pick people up and move them with out killing them.
Now would that factor gravity when he is picking these people up?
Also I think he can move a gorilla.

energy and mass are directly correlated. an object at near lightspeed has more mass than the same object at rest

E=MC squared, therefore his strength ie the energy he can put into a blow is equal to his mass times his acceleration squared. as things approach lightspeed their mass becomes infinite, flash's speed is also essentially infinite because he can travel faster than light, so infinite mass times infinite acceleration = infinite strength

Wait how does speed help with lifting

Well I'd say that you know striking and stuff he obviously is very strong due to his speed.

I'd say when he lifts things he's at least above average, due to being in shape. Also for all we know he super speed works out off screen, and maybe he can SPEED FORCE MAGIC his muscles temporarily or something, kind of like how Wally's son could do that but without any physical change.
