With my limited experience with gear I am afraid I cannot agree with your theories! (And until you put them into practice that is all they are... theories.)
For myself, in hindsight I would not get sus flu 3 times in my first cycle.
There is a lot we still don't know about the effects of common steroid stacks on the body. Many recommend "front loading" with high doses... but maybe not such a good idea to shock your body with high doses of test you aren't used to... maybe the old "pyramid up" idea actually made some sense... get the body used to it with a smaller dose for two weeks, then move up.
Experience is a great teacher, but we need to listen harder to those who have experience!
