Hi, I'm a high school track and field athlete. I'm looking to get recruited so over the Summer I tried my hardest to gain as much strength as possible. I went to the gym five days a week, took whey and creatine almost every time i went, and typically do higher weight lower reps. I have very good genetics for gaining muscle, and I gained almost 10 pounds of it after two months of lifting(muscle weight from scale at gym). I stopped using these supplements because I can't afford to put on any more weight, but I still wanna use supplements to gain strength though. Are there any supplements out there that really focus on strength and will lead to minimal muscle gain? Thanks

Whey and creatine aren’t going to add size, a caloric surplus does this. Creatine May aid you in what you’re looking for, but don’t expect miracles and you won’t be disappointed.
You sound young though, I’d focus on eating, resting, hydrating and training properly as you already sound like you are and go from there.

To gain larger muscles do high reps (like 10 to 15) with lower weight per set.
To gain strength without huge muscle mass and extra weight mass do heavy weights with fewer reps (3 to 5).

Strength is neurological. No supplements will directly give you strength.
Supplement a good diet: don't diet on supplements.
