Want to hear what supplements guys are using for strength. Over the counter GNC stuff. Not looking for roids. Just looking for something that would help with strength gains, not looking to bulk up. Just seems like father time is catching up and my strength is falling off some. Can't count on the ads in magazines, they all say you get way more than you pay for.

Jak3d no explode followed with cell mass. There are lots of products out there. Some work for some people and not others. The two I listed worked wonders for me. You could always do the old school trick and just use amino acids.
I'd get the Dr. to give you a testosterone booster and get him to give you some B12 shots. You'll be feeling like you were in your 20's again ha.
Fish oil, Multi vitamin, protein powder, food. Everything else is a waste of money in my experience. Without proper training and diet any supplements you would take aren't going to do anything.
For energy, as a pre-workout I use Nutrex Hemo-Rage Black Ultra-Concentrate. Sounds ridiculous, but works well.
For muscle building/strength I use either MP Combat Powder or Intek Evolution protein shakes. Great sources of protein, BCAAs, and relatively low-calorie compared to how much protein you get per serving.
For recovery/muscle building I take Animal Pack multi-vitamins. They help with muscle soreness a good bit, but where they really shine for me is joint pain. I can tell a distinct difference when I am on it vs. off.

Just plain old Creatine Monohydrate works excellent, and it's cheap. That and some decent quality protein should get you on the right track.
GNC AMP protein actually is a decent protein if you aren't looking at having the extra calories added in. It has a higher protein content than a lot of others and tastes good in chocolate.
Eat Food. Make sure you're getting at least .8 - 1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean mass. The only supplement I recommend is Whey. I like ON Gold Standard because I just can't seem to eat enough as often as I should. If you want to use creatine do it in the winter because it bloats you big time.
if your diet and lifestlye is good i recommend this All in One Sports Supplement | Maximuscle Cyclone | Maxishop notable differences within a week in some cases
I'll second that.
I shoot just 0.3cc a week, and it changed everything.
I actually have better muscle mass than when I was in my teens.
Good diet - VitaMixing daily and usually consume (among a lot of other things) 2#s + of broccoli and Brussle sprouts / week

On the rare occasion I don't get enough protein from whole food sources, I use Trutein. Macro for macro it's my favorite protein supplement. If I'm training fasted, I'll put some BCAA's in my water bottle.
