Charles Paloquin is a huge fan of doses of caffeine in the 1g range for strength athletes prior to a competition. Levels that high have been clinically proven to increase strength by 5%. Which doesn't sound like much, but say a powerlifter is able to squat 500 lbs normally. 5% of 500 is 25 lbs! Now, at those levels you can have some negative side effects, but high doses (3-4g) of vitamin c actually counteract those. So, 400 mg isn't actually going to cause any real issues.
All users should begin with 1 scoop.
