No, just an increase in e2. If you want to build muscle faster on trt, increase your dose to 500mg for 6-8 weeks and keep your e2 in check.

You can read up on my short blast log. If you are currently on 100mg a week, then you could make a jump up to 250 and with diet and proper training, see a nice boost over 6-8weeks. You don't need 500 a week. Also, you mention a "few weeks". I wouldn't bother with that because it doesn't give you time to enjoy any of the benefits. I'd say 6 week minimum.

I guess it just depends on his goals. If you want to blast with 250mg/week for 8 weeks, you'll see about a 5lb max increase of lean muscle as long as you eat and lift hard. If dosing 500mg/week you'll see about a 15lb increase of lean muscle like I did during my blast a few months ago. I actually gained 25lbs, 10lbs of that was water/fat weight. Went back to my normal trt dose, lost the fat and water, and haven't lost a pound of muscle yet.

You can't make a blanket statement like what he would gain or lose. It is very open to the individual. I blasted on 250 and put on 12lbs, of which about 3-4 was water. I've dropped back to TRT doses and continue to sit at 210 very comfortably.
My point is that you have guys taking 5-600 a week and they still don't get the results that I did and many others I know that have run a similar dose. You have guys taking much less and they actually know what they are doing with training and diet and see much better results.

Like I said, it depends on his goals. If you had blasted 500mg a week instead of 250mg, you would have probably gained about 25lbs like I did. It all depends on the individuals body, but on AVERAGE guys who dose 500mg/week see the most gains. 500mg seems to be the magic number, but for TRT and feeling good that's a whole different story. I felt like **** on 500mg, but I didn't use an AI either (should have).. At a TRT dose of 60mg/week, I sit at 240lbs comfortably and feel very stable emotionally.
Anyway, to the OP, be sure to keep your e2 in check, because it's a real bitch if it gets out of hand. You might not notice any physical symptoms, but it will kick your ass emotionally/mentally.
