Importance of FREE Test?...........

Thanks for pointing out the mistake but a correction would be more useful.
Total test comes in higher with IM injections and sub q tips the scales towards free T. This is my experience at least. My Dr keeps me at 30+ on the free and doesn't care about the total T.

That's kind of silly if you think about it. Free test is going to be higher just because of the fact that you're on exogenous testosterone and potentially an AI as they both reduce SHBG. In fact, I bet the vast majority of folks are either at the top of the range for free test, or slightly over.

This is why chasing numbers is bad; they should be used to locate issues, but never used to dictate a protocol. But of course, it is, and always has been a matter of how you feel over everything.

Subq should exhibit the same characteristics over multiple half-lives as IM. The biggest difference being potentially higher aromatization and slower absorption rate.

The post was a bit confusing, so I just tried to tell you that in case you had things all messed up, I understand what you mean now but as Megatron said you have the premise wrong. Anyways you are at 864TT (using usa numbers) plus. For some reason my Cdn doc tried to keep my max at 30 as well.
