Tenderloin was decent but the potatoes were amazing

Champion Doom is so fucking sick I need that skin

Been trying to maintain strength while doing a long cut. At 160 lbs, down from 185, lifting what I was at 185. Just want to make sure that my form hasn't lapsed.

M30, 5'9", 160 lbs

Absolutely love the new [[Gandalf, Party Guest]] card from the new Hobbit set. Wizard tribal is a fun idea and cheating out big stupid spells is my favorite thing in commander. I threw together a quick build with lots of wizards that copy, draw cards, and reduce costs, a bunch of interaction, and then some big stupid spells like [[Jeskai Revelation]], [[Call Forth the Tempest]], and [[Mnemonic Deluge]]. Anyone else building this guy? What're some spicy maybe less obvious picks for him that y'all have thought of?

Here's my list: https://archidekt.com/decks/24905836/wizard\_party

I've always been a big fan of Phyrexians and especially dig the incubate mechanic. However, Phyrexian tribal and incubate are pretty jank strategies without a lot of decent commanders. Everyone suggests Brimaz but that's boring and overdone. I had a disgusting realization though. [[Leonardo, the Balance]] and [[Raphael, the Muscle]] actually work insanely well to helm this archetype. Leo buffing your board every time you incubate and giving your tokens Menace, Trample, and Lifelink is a great way to make them not terrible! Raph also makes your tokens much more powerful. Together they give you access to all 5 colors as well and let you throw in all of the cool Phyrexian good stuff. What do you guys think? Anything I left out or need to add?

Hey! I've always loved Phyrexians and have mulled over building a Phyrexian tribal deck for a long time. Settled on Atraxa, Praetors Voice for the colors, flavor, and synergy with incubate tokens (no poison here boss). My main concern is actually being able to fully utilize the creature tokens since they are just guys with counters on them. And recommendations? This is mostly a for fun deck so I'm not trying to go crazy or anything. Mid bracket 3 is where I'm shooting.

After building mostly midrange and combo piles, I wanted to try my hand at making a control deck. I didn't want to opt for the most obvious choice of Y'shtola and thought the new [[Doctor Doom, King of Latvia]] card would make for a thematic control commander. He seemed decent with him having a way to damage the table, innate card draw, and being in solid control colors. The idea for the deck is to use discard and some wheel effects to dig for answers and combo pieces while using the fat stack of interaction and card advantage to keep my opponents in check. In theory at least. I'm worried I just made another midrange deck just with extra interaction instead of an actual control deck. Any insight into how I can upgrade it or change it to match my vision would be greatly appreciated.

Been lifting for years and have made considerable progress on squats and deadlifts but my bench sucks and progression is extremely slow. Any tips?

I've been with my girlfriend for over 3 years now and I have gotten very close to her cat, Spooky, especially after they both moved in about a year and a half ago. He's an older cat and she's had him for a very long time. He's around 14 now. He's reasonably healthy except for some older cat stuff. He had to have several teeth removed because of feline tooth reabsorption and we recently had to put him on a prescription food that's easier for him to digest. But he's happy and he's very active. He's always waddling around screaming for more dry food (he a chonk) and he gets the zoomies still and he can get anywhere in the house just fine. But I see it in his eyes and I know in my heart that he's old. And it really hurts me. Even though he's not technically my cat. I work from home and I spend every day with him and we've always been best buddies, even before my gf moved in. And I can't help but cry and feel sad knowing my time with him is limited. I always try to be very positive around my gf since he's her cat and I don't want her to think about his age all the time. I feel foolish crying over my perfectly healthy cat and I really just want to appreciate all the time we still have left together. I know this is not a novel experience for pet owners. I just struggle talking about it.

Attached is him being spicy and smacking the camera

Don't judge the Edgar I pulled him in INR and love vamps :(

I was young, anxious, overweight, couldn't drive, had no money, and had no self esteem. My life has improved so much it's hard to even think about what my life was like then. Once I stopped waiting around to better myself and started actually working on myself, everything fell into place.

30M 5'9", started training and taking my diet seriously since around September 2021. I lifted a little bit here and there before hand but not consistently for any length of time. I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels man. I initially started out around 175 and did a large cut down to 140. I've gone through a few cycles of bulking and cutting since. I'm currently sitting at 160 lbs on the right. It feels like I'm just not growing shit for muscle. Chest is small and I feel like I look more or less the same as I always do when I'm lean. I've done multiple different routines from PPLs to Upper Lower and I've been doing 531 BBB for the last several months. My lifts have definitely improved on the program, but I feel like I have little to show for literal years of hard work. I'm just not sure what to do at this point while still staying natural
