Test Dosage vs Levels for Cycle Recommendation

It just depends on which side of this curve you bought in. When I started buying bitcoin they were 18K and when I was buying my hobby drugs of choice Bitcoin was 60K. So TE/HGH/Anavar/Anastrozole was basically free.

Is there an 'optimal' amount of free T? Dr. Morgentaler alludes to men who have a decent total T but are still symptomatic(fatigue, no morning erections, low libido, etc). What I've understood is that increasing the dosage of T will lower SHBG and increase free T. I was hoping that Dr. Morgentaler would cite specific numbers in regards to free T. And is it specific to each man, where one might feel great with a free T of 250 pg/mL, but another man needs 350 or 400 or 500(pg/mL), which would translate into a higher dose, thus a supra high total T.

Is there an 'optimal' amount of free T?

Somewhere south of a bulging purple hypertensive crisis and north of walking dead with no libido, energy or function down below. Unless the individual in question is into either of those options. That is a good question.

Always put units on your numbers.
