Let me just say a couple of things....
a first cycle should be test only, as you are planning. 500mg test e for 12 weeks is a standard cycle, and you should see some good gains on this.
the reason a first cycle needs to be test only, is so that you can gain an understanding of what this hormone does to your body, and you get comfortable with it. When addiing compounds in the future, if you so choose to do that, take a SCIENTIFIC APPROACH, and only introduce 1 unknown variable (compound) into a cycle at a time. that way, if something goes wrong, you can immediately isolate and identify what it is.
Another thing most newbs don't understand is how critical a proper diet is when going down the path we are on. If your diet and/or routine are not dialed in (this doesn't happen intuitively), then the reality is you will not get much out of your cycle. Taking steroids should be the last thing to consider, after everything else is in place.
So let me suggest you go to the diet section, and post your diet up. We have a couple of gurus that will really drill down into your nutrition plan and educate you with improvement opportunities. Don't underestimate this aspect of your regimine!
If you have anyother questions, just give us a shout!
