Free test

[beast405]

What’s a good number for free test to be at on 500mg test cyp a week ? I’ve never really paid much attention to it until now but I know it’s way more important than total test in regards to gaining. Any info is appreciated.

Well what's your number? Let's start there.

Over 1300 free

You sure it's 1300 ng/dl and not 1300 pg/dl?

Yes pg/dl

1363 pg/dl

You're looking at 0.5-2% in comparison to the total as an average reference interval

1363 pg = 1.36 ng/dl
Total = 3387 ng/dl

That's around 0.04% of free test compared to your total

It's not such an off number. You can reference SHBG, serum albumin as well to compare this

A lot of guys look at labs, they see their free test elevated without realizing that unit of measurement is being used to reference them on the panel; hence most people sit on a bell curve lol

Is that a good number though ?

There is evidence that SBHG selectively delvers testosterone to muscles. Even Stewie was talking about the trafficking the last time we communicated.

Free testosterone may only be as important to bodybuilding as you need it in your brain and nervous system for performance.
