I'd be interested to know what his total T level was.

Yup. Truth is, that's all you really need to look at. Just establish a baseline that your total T levels can't exceed X amount. If they do, have them take a more advanced screening to see if that is just normal for that person. There are some dudes walking around with very high levels of test, naturally. However if you're rocking out 1800-1900 for total T you're using something.
