I have been on TRT for about 9 weeks now and i feel pretty damn good now. I blame the invega and abilify injections i had for about 2 years for my low test levels. I didnt get a hard on for 2 years almost because of that shit. Like that cant be good for you. Since i switched to zyprexa though my sex drive came back 100%. Now 110% since ive been on TRT as it really boosts your sex drive.

Anyway my question is since test works by increasing protein synthesis should i increase my protein intake to put on more muscle? I lift weights 6 days a week and have been for about a year and a half now. Even with low test levels i went from only being able to dumbbell curl 20lbs to now 50lbs which feels light to me and i need heavier weights. But since being on test i find putting up extra reps easier. I use a protein shake everytime after i lift.

I am 200lbs so how much protein should i be eating a day to put on more muscle now that im on test?
