I am a 37 year old male. I have worked out off and on my whole life. I started working out again about 16 months ago (after being a lazy ass for about 3-4 years) and i have been hitting it pretty hardcore the last 6 months. I am 5'10, 190lbs, and about 17% body fat. My issue isn't with workouts, pain or strength. My main issue is that I don't see it like i use too.(muscle gains) Now i understand that i am getting close to 40 but damn. so after a few months of just dealing with it i went to the doctors and had him run some blood test... (I'll paste them in below)

To me this seems off... My SHBG is high and my free test is low as hell.
So my question is this... Could this be why Im not getting any bigger and/or gaining any size? and also what do these numbers actually mean?
I have a doctors appointment to review my lab work next week, but i want to be educated when i go in there cuz im sure he will down play it.
Any advice or help will greatly be appreciated.
Also if this is in the wrong spot i apologize in advance.
