Testosterone levels free and total review

[jackjackson]

Just got my blood work back for total and free Testosterone.

Total is about 1800
Free is about 700

Is this anywhere near right If im taking legit gear which is
500mg Test E weekly.
Currently on 4th week, blood was taking monday after 7th shot

Thanks guys
Looking to rule out bunk gear

[chuckt12345]

looks good

Unless your 18 years old, Id say your gear is G2G bro! What did your doc say about your levels?

[jackjackson]

Whats the norm? Im just going over some other threads currently

[chuckt12345]

well id say thats pretty good after 4 wks,,

[jackjackson]

no Im 26.
I just had them read me total and free over the phone to see if the gear im on is real.
Cuz i havent noticed much of a damn thing
It was for personal measure of the gear i have

[Papa Smurf]

When I was tested for TRT the scale the lab used on total test was 250 - 1600
Not sure on free test.

[chuckt12345]

500mg wk test usually ranges from 2500 to 5000ng/dl

[jackjackson]

Hmmm so Id say the gear im on is underdosed then
Would you say my gear is bunk then>?

[chuckt12345]

takes time to build up,, id say at wk 8 it will be alot higher,,

[Papa Smurf]

Web MD gives normal free test levels between 44 - 244 pg/ml I think your fine. Give it alittle more time

[jackjackson]

O ok so so far im good.
So your talking overall it should be that 2500 to 5000ng/dl or during peek week.

[ninesecz]

My lab said normal range was 400-1000ng/dl

The gear is fine bro...mine came back 2000 last week and I'm on cruise mode....last year it was 4000 ON cycle.

[jackjackson]

2000? Bro what are you cruising at? I cruise at 200mg/week and that comes out to 900-1000 (last time I got tested it showed total test at 900)

Why are you cruising at such a young age?(just curious)...

The total test range is 256-857 ng/dl, if I remember correctly. You guys need to look at the whole picture and not just focus on this one number. Are you getting a complete HPTA workup? LH, FSH, Progesterone, Estradiol, SHBG?

It's really impossible to equate a milligram to ng/dl blood level unless you have had the gear tested as well. While you may think you are shooting XXXmg/week, you have no idea what the actual number is. In any case, lowering SHBG with something like Proviron would be a good approach to making more of your testosterone bioavailable.
