All Evidence from the Original Frieza Saga indicates that the Super Saiyan form multiplies the users strength by 50x, yet in a later interview Toriyama stated it was more like 10x. How can that be true?
Well, after seeing Goku internalize the SSJG power up, i had a thought.
What if The first time a Saiyan uses Super Saiyan, they internalize some of the power so that when they return to base, they are stronger than they were before achieving it.
For Example:
Saiyan Base before Super Saiyan: 1
Super Saiyan:50
Saiyan Base after Super Saiyan: 5
This would reconcile the difference.
Furthermore, when a Saiyan Achieves the Full Power Super Saiyan form, further training internalizes even more power, until Their base form is functionally the same power as their super saiyan form
