I am sorry but you are simply wrong. My first cycle I ever did was only 200mg of cyp a week for 8 weeks and I put on 18lbs. If you have never touched steroids before you can see dramatic results for you first cycle from a low dose. If anything I would say don't even start with testosterone rather start with something milder like Deca or EQ for the first cycle then use test for the 2nd cycle. The body has a remarkable ability to adapt so if you start off taking more then you need the first time then the next time you will actually need that much or more to respond.
