I keep mine minimal.
Coffee for pre workout, used to take a pre workout.
Protein(whey/beef isolate) and creatine alongside vit d, c & cod liver oil.
Try to eat as clean as I can but we all love a takeaway now and again  |

Your body can only absorbed about 30g of protein so all these protein powders, pre workout, post work out potions are doing nothing extra for you if you are eating a healthy balanced diet anyway.
Maybe a multivitamin with zinc can help with testosterone but nothing much else unless you are looking for hgh and steroids |

"Definitely not looking for high or steroids!
My nutrition is good, macros & micros etc
Just thinking more energy & power

Thanks for clarifying because supplements for him compared to her are a bit different. Sites like Bodybuilding dot com is a much better forum than here for quality advice. |

"Just eat healthy food,your only fooling yourself taking supplements and muscle builders long term they are bad for your body,And if you stop taking them everything will head south "
Have to agree, always amazes me how much people will spend on these when most can be achieved through a good diet. |

"So… I’m hoping to get back into lifting some iron and I’m curious as to what is best to take for power & strength? What works for you?  "
Best thing for power and strength is consistency, keep at it and you’ll see progress
If you’re not getting something to eat within 30mins of finishing your workout then maybe a protein shake (whey isolate has less shit in it than the cheaper powders)
No real need to spend a clean fortune on supplements |

Power & strength
Progressive consistent training
Depends a-lot on what your goals are?
How much time your willing to put in ?
What your history of training is ?
Only go with supplements after 6 months of training
Nothing beats hard work good diet and good sleep
Best of luck
Kick ass

Back to basics..
- Lots of rest if you're looking to build power and strength in your 40s
- Sufficient protein of 1.5grams per kg of body weight from quality protein sources
- Sufficient omega 3s in your diet as well as healthy fats. Udos oil is great 
- Healthy amount of fibre as lets face it, the body changes after 40
-Keep showing up for training |
