Yeah man, the best thing for you is to hit up Google with "PCT for Test," "Test cycle help," etc. You need to gain some more knowledge before coming into a forum and asking generic questions. I say that not to be rude, but to save you from catching crap from others. This forum is an excellent resource with very helpful users, but it's best if you have a decent idea of what you're wanting to do before asking a very generic question. Telling you this just to help you out. Some of the pros sometimes forget that they haven't always been so knowledgable. Everyone has to start somewhere! :welcome:
On to your questions!
1.) Side effects
It varies person to person. I have not experienced gyno or hairloss from test yet, but I have had some bacne. It gives me great aggression and endurance in the gym. I sweat like a maniac, lift like a beast, and sex it up like a porn star. Gyno is very common with test, but I have been fortunate that aromasin works very well for me and has kept me from it. You will want an AI to start around your 3rd week of your cycle. I like aromasin, some like arimidex, and some like letro. I'm leery of letro just because it's a harsh sob in low doses and it can be hard to find your sweet spot with it, but it will knock out estrogen levels completely, which you don't want because estrogen is a key mass building component. I dose aromasin (exemestane) at 12.5mgs e3d (every 3 days) starting the 3rd week and continue throughout the cycle.
2.) PCT
If you can find a source for test, you should also be able to for a SERM. Stay away from the doctor if at all possible because some won't be very understanding. Usually if a person can get you an AAS, they can also get you a SERM like nolva or clomid. Be leery of internet sources as many are fraud, but there are some that carry them for research purposes. I would go with clomid if you can get that. Start your PCT 2 weeks after your last test injection. You'll want to get a good test booster to helps boost your test levels up quicker. HCGenerate is very good for this, but there are a lot to choose from. Also taking a DAA along with it is a good idea. You can use your AI to help combat estrogen rebound after your PCT. HCGenerate is not HCG!
3.) Cycle Info
For a first test cycle, I would recommend you run 500mgs of test E for 10-12 weeks. Inject twice a week; typically it's like a Monday and Thursday; whatever days you want as long as injections are spread apart. Read up on proper injection methods, sterilization, and placement of the injections before attempting it. You'll want to run an AI (aromatase inhibitor) along with it starting the 3rd week and run it throughout the cycle. You'll also want to get a good cycle support supp to keep your vitals in decent shape. These can be found all over. Nutraplanet is good for it and even Ebay if you find trusted suppliers. Milk thistle is for liver detox, hawthorn berry is for blood pressure, and saw palmetto is for your prostate. You want these in your cycle support. It's also important to get HCG. It's also and injectable that you inject into your stomach subQ like insulin. When on an AAS, especially test, your body shuts down it's test production because you're shoving more into, so it stops producing natural test. HCG causes your brain to continue sending a signal from your brain to your testes and tells them to keep making test. Your body will still shut down, but you'll recover during your PCT faster with HCG. Inject it the days prior to your test injections with a .5" needle and take your AI on the same day. Start HCG and your AI both on week 3 and stop your HCG when you stop shooting test. Do NOT run HCG during your PCT. As stated, HCG is not HCGenerate, so do not confuse them. HCG while on cycle; HCGenerate while on PCT.
