HCG is recommended for a quicker recovery post cycle. The AI is always recommended to have on hand in case you encounter E2 related sides. Everyone responds as an individual to AAS, some need to make tweaks and changes that others do not.
As far as the training prior to introduction of test or any other compounds: It is recommended that you are at least 15%bf and you have been training long enough that your connective tissues are conditioned to the point that they can handle the increased strength and mass that a cycle with provide. You should be concerned with injury if moving forward to quickly.
I would recommend that you take training naturally as far as it will take you before considering adding any compounds. During this time you should focus on diet.
I also don't subscribe to anything defined as a "light cycle". That is bullshit. You are either on gear or not on gear. Introduction of test or any other compound will shut down your natural testosterone production. You can have a complex cycle with multiple compounds, or a simple cycle with a single compound. Either way you will be making significant changes to your HPTA that are not to be taken lightly.
I would suggest that when all things are in order with your training, diet, and bodyfat: A test only cycle could be attempted.
You mentioned shitty sides from a previous cycle; running a single compound will help in dealing with any side effects that may occur.
Pct of clomid and nolvadex is recommended after all cycles.
