total testosterone vs. free testosterone

[warlock]

What is the difference between total testosterone and free testosterone? Which one is more important (as far as staying high) from a bodybuilding point of view to make best gains?

Thanks

Total is just that, the total amount of test in your system, including test that is bound to SHBG/albumin. Free is the test that is floating around and isn't attached to above said proteins. Free would be more important for muscle building if I'm not mistaken

Thanks bro for replying. I believe I had read the same thing as far as free test being the most important for muscle building.

If anyone can add to this that would be great
