I am looking for protein supplement or something else that will allow me to gain muscle strength, not mass, while keeping me in the best athletic shape as possible. I am 6′ 0 and weigh 180. I play football and run 100, 200, and 400m in track. I dont want the muscle to turn into fat and i dont reallly want creatine.

Protein Powder is first. Creatine is second.
Why don’t you want to try creatine? It’s completely natural yet has this weird stigma surrounding it. Use 5g before your workout and put another 5 in your post workout protein shake. And it’s the cheapest sup you will find.
Mass does not always equal strength, especially if you need speed. I guarantee Arnie and Lee Haney could never run as fast as you will. Stick with protein, natural or supplement, and weight training, low reps (8) – more sets (4-6).
there are 3
1. protien shakes look for a powder that has a high protien low cholesterol % Wal-mart carries a decent brand of protien poder but there a plenty of others out there.
2. A good multivitamin taken daily will really help your body.
3. I know you said no creatine but if I were you I would try it. It doesn’t really make you bigger it just helps heal your muscles after a workout by letting more blood flow in the muscle.
Also muscle won’t turn into fat they are 2 completely different tissues, thats like saying an apple can turn into orange juice. Muscles can get alot less tone over time and look like fat but they will never turn into fat.
