beginner cycle test & deca?

i'd like to start my first cycle within the next few months and i've read through about every thread in this forum and pieced together as much info as i can but i wanted to ask you guys some specifics. here are my stats 25yrs 6'3" 250lbs ?%BF. i've been lifting on and off for last 8 years, but only steadily for the last year. my main goal is to build some bulk, but mainly to shed fat. before i found this forum and the thread concerning "deca dick", my plans were to run a straight 10 week deca only cycle tapering up to 400mg/wk and back down. i wanna put on some size, but i wanna keep my woody while i'm doing it. i've also read that test. is an essential base for a cycle. i was hoping to run a solo cycle but here's what i was thinking so far:

test. ethanate 400-500mg/wk for 10 wks
or stack
test. ethanate 400-500mg/wk for 10 wks
deca 400mg/wk for 8 wks, starting 2 wks after test.

i'm planning on a high protein, low fat, mid carb diet and spending lots of time on the treadmill. i've been using nitro-tech and creatine to date...i'm assuming its safe to continue using these on the cycle?
i think i only have 3 main questions:
1. your opinions on the cycles i listed above?
2. is a lot of cardio bad during a cycle...or should i just focus on lifting?
3. how soon after the cycle ends should i start the clomid, and how often during the cycle should i take the nolvadex/tamoxifen? are there any other essential supplements i should use?

i know this is a lot of information, but i'm hoping to get an informed response and i appreciate any input you guys have.
i haven't scored the gear yet, so i'm also curious to know what you guys think about mexican and vet. products and about internet pharmacies?

Thanks

first off i think your on the right track but still need to do some more homework. also i wouldnt start a cycle if your any higher than 15% bf

of the 2 cycles you listed either one would be good
i would pick the second one with 1 change and thats to run
the deca all 10wks with the test

the cardio you do while on cycle really depends on what the
goals you want to achieve are

check out the faq for clomid times
and just do the nolva at the first signs of gyno

like i said do a little more homework and
you'll be there. good luck
trap

good work bro right on track my first cycle wa just test cyp at 400 mg a week and had great gains ...post cycle is important bro ...i just use nolva when symptons appear...as ta said run the deca if you choose all 10 weeks with the test
