Sounds like they are mixing male and female reference ranges.
A score below above 300 ng/dl is often used as the cut-off point for TRT in males whereas a score below 150 ng/dl is used as the cut-off point for ruling out a polycystic tumor in cases of anovulation and hirsutism.
PS sounds like your buddy either has some bunk test or a short estered test as his score should be well above 500 if he has been on his cycle long enough to establish his on-cycle test levels.
