    In reality its free test that counts, total testosterone does have some benefits and some research show that total test. has some receptors on its own- problem is that it cannot cross blood-brain barrier, so we dont have all benefits from just having decent tot. testosterone- so again sometimes people can be happy with 600 ng/dl, but sometimes we need more- target is to have free testosterone near or at the top range; it depends from SHBG- higher SHBG higher total testosterone is needed.
    People with low SHBG would not benefit from higher end tot. testosterone on other hand people with sky high SHBG need to be at higher end, sometimes even over the range is OK, so if someone had lets say 1 500 ng/dl, and other parameters are OK (fre test at top, not too much E2 and not to thick blood) than its OK to stay there.

    With gel, as DHT goes high it drives SHBG low, and if they dont get lot of conversion to E2 then with total test of 400 ng/dl may feel great as both DHT and free test are at top, so they feel great, but overall test. injections are more reliable friend.
