Hey everybody. I just joined a couple of days ago but have been researching for a few months. For the longest time, my wife had been completely against me even mentioning running a test cycle but has recently been coming around to the idea. She even mentioned helping me pin. Awesome.

Anyway, with her more or less on board, I'm starting to get serious about planning my first cycle. I've done a lot of reading and have absorbed a lot of information. I've taken in a lot of information but still have some questions.

The research I've done has pointed me to a test e only first cycle. I have no problem with this and am more than excited to get all I can from it. I've put together a rough cycle below. Please let me know if there are any weaknesses in the cycle plan.

Week 1-10 -- Test E 300mg-500mg (Haven't come to a clear decision on the dosage, suggestions welcome).

Week 1- 16 - Nolvadex 20mg (this was taken from a writeup on first cycle examples, let me know what you think on running this during the cycle as opposed to an AI).

Week 13-16 -- Clomid ??mg (what dosage would be needed if at all? This was also taken from the writeup on suggested first cycles. I know Nolva and Clomid are similar but act differently on different tissues. Are both needed or even recommended?). I'd also run a natural test booster during the PCT.

10 weeks on cycle, 2 week off before starting PCT, 4 weeks PCT.

I have not placed any orders yet, but would like to soon as it sounds like the lead times can be lengthy. However, I don't want to get ahead of myself either. I want to make sure I get exactly what I need the first time around and before I begin anything.

Finally, for now at least, when ordering pins/syringes/wipes, how do you decide what is needed? I assume a pin for every injection (maybe more as more never hurts), 1 syringe, 2 to have a backup? More than enough sterile wipes.

For current stats:
Age: 27
Weight: 186lbs
BF: 15%
Height: 69"

I've been lifting for 5 years off and on. December 2011 I began to take weight lifting more seriously and have been taking a new dedicated approach for a little over a year now. Progress has been great and still is. My diet could always improve, however I am spot on with my calories for my current goals and am doing a good job of keeping on point with my protein intake. My major downfall in my diet is meal timing. My work day is hectic and I don't always make time for the smaller meals during the day leading to fewer, larger meals. I get a lot of sleep, 7 hours minimum, 8 1/2 hour on average. My wife hates that I go to bed at 8:30, but my body loves it. I don't plan on starting my cycle until this summer or early fall. Is there anything I should do in the meantime to prepare? I know I could cut body fat and plan to do so as spring approaches and I come off my natty bulk.

I'm very excited to start the cycle, but even more excited to know before hand that I'll be doing it right.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate any feedback and advice you all have.
