Lol, Baldur, youre a quack. If you want to have a legitimate discussion of the importance of Free T in TRT then you need to be prepared for others to challenge your position and you need to be prepared to defend your opinion. You may have done lots of research and everything might point to Free T being the main indicator of hypogonadism, but this is anecdotal evidence and does not prove anything.
And since we are using anecdotal evidence as fact, explain this to me. When I first started TRT I went to a horrible Low T clinic and they started me on 200mg Test Cyp every 2 weeks. As you can imagine this did not get me where I needed to be. So I convinced them to switch to 100mg/wk. After several weeks I got bloodwork down and my total test was 331ng/dL and my free test was in the lower to middle portion of the range. Apparently my doc went by this same stupid idea that free T is the ONLY thing that matters so he would not up my dose. Despite the fact that I felt no better, still had no sex drive, and my total T was still in the very bottom of the range at 22 years old.
At your age I would expect you to have learned how to have an adult conversation by now. But you are acting like a child saying everyone is biased because they love doctors so much and every study we post is somehow steered by the medical industry, just because they don't agree with you.
Bottom line is that both TT and Free T matter. Why would only go by one and when we have the opportunity to use both?
