You have the right idea, but if you're using the standard direct free T test then know that it is not accurate. Alternatives are to use an accurate, but more expensive test, such as equilibrium dialysis or ultrafiltration, or use the Tru-T calculator after measuring total testosterone and SHBG.

Your SHBG of 26 nMol/L is not low. I'd say it's within the optimal range of 25-35. Using your TT value of 782 ng/dL we find Tru-T FT is 28 ng/dL (with default albumin). This is within the healthy normal range of 16-31. However, it's at the higher end, so it is quite possible that you would do better overall with a somewhat lower dose. I would experiment with a 10-25% dose decrease and give it some months to fairly evaluate. Keep in mind that dose decreases are difficult because initially you may feel bad and be tempted to abandon the experiment. But try to see it through, as many guys do feel better with less.

Also, you might consider injecting more often. Your peak testosterone on twice-weekly injections may be as much as 50% higher than what you're seeing at the troughs.
