I'm sure they would build muscle without training on someone with hardly any muscle.
Indeed, there is another study that showed that an even lower dose of testosterone can build about 11 pounds of muscle in 10 weeks in hypogonadal men, again, with no training-
Testosterone replacement increases fat-free mass and muscle size in hypogonadal men - PubMed
So it's not a question of "if" steroids can build muscle in men without training (clearly, they can), but more a question of who could benefit, dosing, and such. Maybe healthy men in their 20s and 30s would see little to no benefit without training. But, considering there are many men alive over 40, and many in their 20s and 30s that could be hypogonadal, there is likely a majority of the male population that could indeed put on muscle using some sort of steroid, even without any sort regular weight training.
