Total testosterone test?

[Soundcubed]

To test what my test levels are do I need a total testosterone test? And I want a test that shows above 1500 correct?

Pull a full hormone panel. You need Total and Free test. If youre going in for bloodwork for the first time pull everything...E2, Igf1, CMP, CBC, etc etc. Whatever lab you buy your panel from will have its own variation of a "Mens Hormone & Wellness Panel"

What is the difference between a Total and Free test?

What is the difference between a Total and Free test?

Its exactly as it sounds. Total is how much bioavailable and bound testosterone you have. Free is how much unbound, bioavailable, usable test you have. SHBG will bind to the hormone and its basically idle, just existing inside you, until its unbound, or "free", for your body to use. Pull your full panel and post the results here and let the guys tell you whats up. What are your goals? You just seeing what kind of shape youre currently in or are you having low test symptoms?

Yes, get an uncapped test.

I am on just 500mg test enanthate/ week right now. I want to see how high my testosterone level is. I get a CBC every month and everything is always good.

I see...well again pull a full hormone panel, if money's tight and youre doing bare minimum then at least get E2(LC/MS/MS) , Free Testosterone and Total Testosterone. You need all 3 of those numbers to get any kind of idea whats going on inside. Good luck.
