A flight-fight response does not make you stronger. It simply removes pain responses and all the inhibitors and barriers that would, under normal circumstances, prevent you from any kind of exertion likely to cause you an injury.
You are – right now – absolutely strong and able enough to impale your feet on thick brambles, break many of your own bones and dislocate all of your limbs. But doing that is a bad idea unless the payoff is not getting eaten by a tiger.
