you don't start out taking a gram. started with a 200mg only cycle. as posted earlier, when you hit a plateau the dose goes up. This took years of cycling to get to. Sooner or later you decide to Johnny Bodybuilder takes? Why? What does it have to do with YOUR goals? What are YOUR goals? If someone is taking 3 grams of gear and is huge, a guy who takes a gram of gear in a 12 week cycle is NOT going to get to a level of muscle maturity that the dude with 3g's of gear has obtained over years and years. That make sense? Be patient. If it's 'in the cards' for you to be big or bigger or whatever you want to look like, you can do it. Takes time.
