43 yr old looking to achieve greatness

[1267]

Hi forum. I googled searched “first time AS at 43 “ and found this sight.

In a nutshell, I’ve just started weight training June ‘17...
I’m 5’11” 195 between 20-25% BF.
Was a very active substance abuser, drugs and alcohol... after a decade and a half, I decided that wasn’t really working out to well and, have since been sober for 8 years. Started training and really like the feeling of the ache... as stated above, I’m an addictive guy. Now that Ive started late, I’d like to gain some mass, with 10-12% BF and believe AS will help me “achieve my own greatness”. I hope to start a good training routine and supplement after the first of the year. Give me a few months to study up and learn.
My biggest fear is fat boobs. I’ve never had a chest and, that is a huge goal, not to leave out tendon/lig and joint health too.

Thanks for reading!!

Boobs: you can only get from estrogen.
go to an endocrinologist get ur testosterone tested and try to get Testosterone Cypionate which is the base of all the steroids b4 stacking up.

Welcome to the site! Step one is full blood work to establishment baselines. You very well may be a hormone replacement candidate based on your age and history. It can make a world of difference.
