Is a comma needed after the 'and' in this example?

Give a couch potato steroids and he will gain more muscle than a clean gym rat.

Thanks for the insight.

Hi,

No. The two clauses in this sentence are short, simple and easy to understand, so a comma is not needed to improve readability.

Best wishes, Clive
