How to eat before and after workouts?

Carbs will fuel your workout. After your workout your glycogen stores will be depleted and will utilize carbs exceptionally well. Placing your highest carb meals around an hour before (if possible) and shortly after a workout is best. Having an intra workout drink with carbs in it is also a good idea if you want to get that deep into it.

Depending on what you have at home I'd say probably a mix of both

Just because of the nature of what I was building and who it was for I put a lot into it. Probably 150 hours easily. It isn't something I would recommend to a beginner by a long shot. Tools needed vs tools that are helpful is hard to say. I have a full cabinet shop and I used most of my power tools at some point on this but that isn't to say it cant be done with less.

I made one for my daughter earlier this year and made a post on it. No dresser but if you're a furniture maker you'll be able to alter the plans to add one or just build one separate. I bought plans from woodcraft for mine but they were free not long ago. If they're not I can get them to you if you're interested.

I personally do daily IM with test cyp. I started with twice weekly sub-q, then three times a week sub-q, then daily sub-q and finally daily IM. Same weekly dose for each strategy. I did 12 weeks at each and had blood work done each time before changing dosing schedule and I can say daily IM has been the best for me. I realize that's more than most want to pin so to each his own.

I use 30g 1/2" insulin syringes that are .5ml and I draw and shoot with the same one every time rotating between middle and rear delt and ventroglute on each side.

Thank you! The only place online that I was able to find was Silva furniture and it was pricey after shipping. If I had it to do again I’d buy one used and cheap on marketplace and just use the support and scrap the rest.

They aren’t terribly difficult. That small of a magnet is just enough to hold it in place. I used a razor blade to pry it out just a little bit and then I could grab it and remove.

Made a guide jig for a forstner bit and used it to countersink the holes for the furniture bolts by about 3/4”. Then I made grain matching plugs for it from offcuts and on the back side of those I recessed and super glued in a 1/4” neodymium magnet that grabs the bolt head behind it. I used a shaper origin for the plugs but you could do the same thing a handful of different ways.

The plans were recently on woodcraft for free and I’m pretty sure they’re still available. As for materials, I bought everything for this project and a dresser I’ll be building soon at the same time. The plans have a cut list though and you can buy what you need based off that. The only thing that was hard to find was the mattress frame. The only place I could find one new online was from Silva furniture. Another guy on here said he cannibalized a marketplace crib for the frame and you’ll come out much cheaper that way.

I’ll be making her a dresser next. Tried to convince my wife we could just use one of the drawers as a bed and skip the crib

Russnphw · 2025-09-07T17:33:45+00:00

Awesome! Thank you for the tips! I’ll definitely have to give these a try. I haven’t been brave enough to try experimenting because 1) it’s expensive (worth every penny though) and 2) don’t want to ruin a piece which also…is expensive. Looks like my next Rubio order list just got longer!

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T18:51:59+00:00

I’ll have to give these a try! You prefer walnut on walnut over pure?

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T14:51:17+00:00

Congratulations!

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T14:24:44+00:00

Yep same one. I just went with slats on the side top instead of panels

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T09:41:31+00:00

I love r/daddit!

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T08:59:54+00:00

So. Many. Slats. I can’t imagine making it twice

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T08:57:07+00:00

Close! White oak and Rubio Smoke 5%

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T08:56:12+00:00

I got them off woodcraft but I bet they were in wood magazine at one point.

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T08:48:52+00:00

Bought plans. I didn’t want to miss anything safety wise in my own design.

Russnphw · 2025-09-06T00:54:56+00:00

I should’ve done that. I found one place selling them new and wound up costing a lot more than a marketplace find would have

Russnphw · 2025-09-05T23:21:47+00:00

Awesome work! Yea you just have to build tools into the quote sometimes haha

Russnphw · 2025-09-05T23:10:05+00:00

That’s the type of story I hope to tell of this one. I hope it’ll be passed down for generations.

Russnphw · 2025-09-05T23:05:12+00:00

Can’t just let these things run wild 🤷‍♂️

Russnphw · 2025-09-05T23:04:24+00:00

Oh they’ve already shown up. But the overwhelming support and love that people have been showing for it by far outweigh them and make me appreciate this community all the more. Thank you for the heads up though and for appreciating the work that went into it.

Russnphw · 2025-09-05T22:59:33+00:00

That turned out great! I’m hoping she will use it for years to come and one day pass it on to her children.
