First Test Cycle

Okay guys bear with me here because I know this has been asked a billion times, but I'm getting ready for my first cycle of test and really need help getting the basics down. In the past I've ran 1/4 andro and 1/4/epi about 8 months later. I'm 26, weigh 175ish at around 10-12%bf. I watch my diet using IIFYM and currently eating 180p 250c 90f. (going to begin cutting for summer after spring break next week). Been lifting regularly since college and would like to think i have a decent physique and am fairly strong. I don't max much but i do 3x6 at 235 benching. Last max was at 315 about 6 months ago and it was a struggle. During my 1/4/epi cycle about 2 months after i finished pct (clomid, exemestane). I got a small lump (not visible) under my nipple that turned out to be mild gyno. it was sensitive at first but has since basically gone away. Not sure if it's the gyno thats caused me to steer in a different direction or not, but I'm considering my first test cycle and need some beginner advice. I know i'm suppose to run test by itself as a first cycle so that it's easy to deal with any possible complications. Can someone give advice and a basic cycle layout to get me started. I've read on here that tamoxifen is good during pct coming off test? I've got a buddy that has done test before, but I figured I'd come here for advice before talking with him about it.
 
I've read information on stuff like HCG that I'm not familiar with. Really all I have experience with in this cycle is clomid and exemestane. If you guys can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I've read 500mg of test e pinning twice a week is the norm. For exemestane what dosage should I take throughout the cycle and PCT. And clomid for pct would be 50/25/25/25/12.5/12.5 (which starts 2 weeks after last pin correct?)
 
Also, being so young would I need to get bloodwork done before I started this cycle? If that's necessary how do I go about doing that. Never had bloodwork done before, and my insurance is crap right now because evidently I signed up for the wrong one lol. Stuck with it until 2019.
 
500mg test e/c split twice a week for 12 week. Exem 12.5mg eod from day 1; adjust as necessary. 2 weeks after last injection, begin pct, correct. Clomid doses you posted are good. Hcg wont be a necessity. Hcg could be used the weeks leading up to pct for a smoother transition into pct while the test clears (hcg is an lh analogue and it will make the leydig cells within ur testes produce test; this is helpful to people who dont want to deal with the potential low test issues that could happen as the exogenous test clears ur system) it could also be used during the cycle to maintain testicular function and size. Keep in mind hcg will elevation estrogen, as will clomid.
 
Thank you. I’m looking forward to getting started. Still sketched out about gyno and possible low T issues. But I feel if everything’s done right. Those aren’t issues
