Possible downside of doubling dose?

[newbie]

I have a friend who was prescribed 200 MG/ML (1 ML Weekly) by his doctor over a year ago. About a month ago my other friend who is a personal trainer said that he should be able to double that dosage without any negative side effects so long as he donated blood every month to keep his red blood cell count down.

Both friends are now taking double the dosage and both are feeling better and looking better than ever before.

Is there any downside to this? Should they be taking some type of estrogen blocker? The urologist never prescribed any estrogen blocker in the past, so I don't know if 400 Mg a week would be enough to need it. I have next to no idea how this stuff works, but it doesn't seem like what they are doing is anywhere close to a real steroid stack (which I think would be like 4 times as much testosterone).

I'm considering doing the same. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance.

You're not going to find much at all support for what you're asking on EM, this is a therapeutic and health site, it's not a blast/cruise/cycle advice. You might find your question more inline with what occurs at a forum such as TNation.

This is a therapeutic community supporting men seeking to maximize their health, and our primary emphasis is on hormonal management. Your question crosses into an area that's outside our mandate. It is a steroid dose. We don't advise on this, but there are sites that can, and will, respond to your questions. Should you have a TRT-related issue, we hope you'll return.
