Test and free Test levels

[PB&J]

I was at the DR's today and wanted to get both my Test and free test levels checked. The Dr. told me that I only need my Total test level checked and not my free test.

What will be the difference?

Will the total indicate the true High or Low test levels as far as muscle building is concerned?

Thanks.

total testosterone is the typical test.

why are you concerned?

Two fold, Lately "Someone stole my Mojo" (Austin Powers) and secondly I was using 1-AD until last week, because Of the damn Flu, I couldn't get to the gym so I stopped. I wanted to see if the stopping of 1-AD really affected my test levels, although it would be hard to tell if it was the 1-AD, as I didn't get it checked before the 1-AD. I was curious.

make sure that the pro-hormones (or whatever they are) are out of your system when you get the T test.

free test or serum test is what is actually usable for anabolic activity etc...
