First Cycle - AI and PCT question

First of all let me say sry for my bad English but it's not my native language. This thread is purely educational. I am new to the steroid world.. I've never ever done a cycle before but the subject was always interesting for me. I've been spending every free time researching the topic like a madman the past few weeks. I think i pretty much got the basics but i still have a lot of questions regarding my cycle. I will soon start a test e only cycle at 500mg/w (250 mg twice a week) for 12 weeks.. The thing is that the information on the internet is endless and everyone talks different stuff so i might as well ask someone that knows what's up.. 2 weeks after the last pin I will start a standard PCT with clomid and nolva. My questions are basically 2 at the moment:
1 - Is it necessary to throw an AI during the test e cycle (if yes i think about getting Arimidex or you can probably offer me something else ?)
2 - I've red that a lot of dudes take nolva during cycle and continue till the end of the pct. The thing is
- why are they taking nolva instead of arimidex during cycle?
- isnt it better to take arimidex during cycle and leave the nolva for pct with clomid
I also red that taking nolva durig cycle will hinder your gains.. and id like to take the most out of my first cycle
So basicly any information on AI, nolva and pct will be appreciated.
I find it interesting how the drugs actually work in the body.. so if u go in depth on the information it will be cool.


Oh and another question.. So lets say right now my natural test is at 50 mg/w for example.. so when I start taking test it will be higher and probably some of it will aromatize and my estrogen will go up so after the cycle - when i start the pct it will bind to the receptor so i don't get the sides and my natural test production will be stimulated.. but after the pct when my balls start working normally and I go back to like 50 mg/w.. what happens with all that estrogen that is floating around in my body ? From what i understand the pct is just binding to the receptor.. but the estrogen is still there.. what will happen after the pct is my question? Is it just a bridge into another cycle ? Because I'd like to stay completely off for at least 2-3 months between cycles.

Estrogen, like everything, has a half life. It goes away on its own as time passes. You can look up how long the half life is.

Keep reading the stickies and then come back with open questions you still have. I am glad you are doing your homework before you start cycling.

Also, can you list your: age, height, body fat % and years training?
 
Thanks for the responses. Reading those stickies was interesting.. it cleared a lot of stuff.
I have around 4 years of lifting behind my back (on and off.. mostly on tho.. recently had 6 months off because i had to work in another country), have trained some martial arts (around 1.5 years) and some swimming (around 1.5 as well) before that. I am 20 yo; 177 sm; 69 kg; 7~8% bf (...yes ...i know).

The cycle that I think about running looks like this:

w1-12 test e 500mg/w (2x 250mg)
w1-12 Arimidex 0.5mg EOD
w15-18 clomid 100/100/50/50
w15-18 nolvadex 40/40/20/20

I was thinking of adding hcg w3-w14 500ui/w (2x 250ui) but I am reading everywhere that It expires after 30-60 days and since I don't have a good source where I can... shop that often I thought I will discard it for this cycle. The dose is not that high anyway and I don't think I will have problems with recovery normally with just the standard PCT.

During the cycle I will be eating like a pig since I am a complete ectomorph and I aim to gain as much as possible..

I continue to read all kinds of stickies and threads with dudes doing the same cycle. Any advices will be appreciated.

Did you read the threads about 20 years old being too young for cycling? It provides lots of reasons why it is bad at a young age.
