    yes, on cycle is it just your total test that drastically increases, or your free test as well?

    I think it is test that is not bound to albumin or globulin. This unbound test is free to attatch to an androgen receptor. Can anyone verify this?

    total test is always in your body. it's bound by another hormone i think.... free is the test that isn't bound and therefor your body can use it for what it's meant to be used for.

    gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone = the binding hormone that controls the bound test

    Incorrect. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) as it's really called is what stimulates LH and FSH which in turn stimulate testosterone. Sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is what binds test. That and albumin.
