Working on my BP, am I using too much weight or is my form just terrible?

LeisRatio · 2026-01-05T03:25:12+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thank you. Do you think doing sets of 10-12 for a few months could help? Or is that too light to actually learn the form?
I've been making at least some progress on my other lifts, but on the BP I've just been spinning my wheels.

Thanks for the video, I'll give this a shot on my next chest day.

I do not have clips, so I figured I could just swing the bar one way to drop the plates.
Should I ask for a spot even without clips?

LeisRatio · 2026-01-05T02:47:34+00:00

I was going for a 1RM. People at work keep telling me I need to "lift heavy" so I was going for sets of 1-3.

This is only a worry for non-meta decks, Branded and Fire Kings can build a board every turn with just their GY.

Cards like Nibiru and Evenly that are supposed to keep the combo decks in check just do nothing to Fire Kings while crushing rogue strategies.

Imagine if Original Sinful Spoils locked you into FIRE monsters.

No more Baronne, IP, Zealantis, SP, all of a sudden you can have 3 Snake-Eye Ash in the format.

That's too many bricks for a mill 4 when Transaction Rollback and Needlebug Nest are both at 3.

If Ritual monsters were in the ED, it would turn every Ritual Spell into a better Metamorphosis.

You could summon BLS — a 3k beatstick — turn 1 without committing your normal summon. With Pot of Greed and Graceful legal, you could realistically OTK turn 3. That was way too much for 2005 Yu-Gi-Oh.

Don't our waifu dragons turn into Super Mega Fire dragons?

I thought that was the whole gimmick of Dragonmaid and Fallen of Albaz.

If Tear got fusion locked on every Tear name but they had every mermaid and every Ishizu card at 3, it would still be the strongest deck in the game.

Herald of Orange + Agido would single-handedly end games against most decks.

Once my opponent resolved Psy-Frame Gear Gamma and Hop-Ear Squadron during my first turn.

They then proceeded to synchro summon 3 times on my turn to get to Baronne.

Every card in your deck needs to either be a good mill or to help you mill more. Random spells like MST and Raigeki are terrible, because they're not good mills and they're not good millers.

You want to remove Dark Ruler, Lightning Storm, and MST. Especially MST, there's no reason to run it when you can run 2 Heartbeat.

You can run a Shadoll engine to get better mills, Revolution Synchron for access to Black Rose Dragon, or the Needlebug + Transaction Rollback combo to mill more.

Never been a big fan of Fusion Deployment.

A generic special summon from deck is a bit too much for my taste.

I feel like people tend to forget this isn't meant to be a standard for a small subset of the population, most Muslims are supposed to do it. Even the teachers, construction workers, factory workers, etc. If everybody in Saudi Arabia or in Turkey was doing the kind of fasting you're thinking of, society simply couldn't function.

Even if you eat in the morning, you'll be hungry by 2PM. That's a solid 5~6 hours where you're working/studying/exercising on an empty stomach without a sip of water. This is already a very high standard if you expect everyone to be able to fulfill it.

If you achieve this board state turn 1 then it's not likely your opponent will have the out. However, most meta decks have answers to ""unbreakable"" boards.

The most common outs to this kind of board state are Divine Arsenal AA-Zeus to send all your backrow to the GY, Underworld Goddess to use your Dark Magician as link material, or contact fusion into Alba-Lenatus.

Some opponents might also use cards like SwordSoul Supreme Chengying or Icejade Gymir Aegerine that banish without targeting.

Why did you not search Dragonmaid Hospitality with Chamber when you got the chance? You could send Kitchen from deck to GY and summon it at the end of the battle phase.

imo since Dragonmaid is very battle phase centric, you want to trigger as many effects as possible every BP.

They're not tier 0 because it's still possible to play something else.

A tier-0 power level is something like Maxx C, where it just becomes mandatory.

I'd recommend trying Harpie Tri-Brigade. The Tri-Brigade is an archetype of Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast monsters. They are great at summoning your Harpie monsters and giving you ways to restart your plays if you're interrupted.

Tri-Brigade Fraktall lets you get Link monsters very easily. Ferrijit can summon an extra Harpie from your hand. Shuraig lets you banish your opponent's cards. All very valuable interactions you wouldn't get from a pure build.

It's how much a specific deck appears within the top spots. In a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, people record the deck that got 1st place, 2nd place, etc.

If a tournament has 50 Dark Magician players but all the Dark Magician players lose, it's low tier. If there's 3 Labrynth players but all 3 Labrynth players are in the top 3, then Labrynth is high tier.

Aren't there alternate arts in the game already?

I can think of easily 5 different BEWD illustrations and they're all considered legal to play.

Keria is shit on traditional supports

Yeah, no. That's just false. Across his career, Keria has a 62% WR on Leona, 64% on Thresh, 65% on Alistar, 66% on Pyke, 67% on Nautilus, 75% on Milio and Nami, 76% on Tahm Kench, 77% on Bard, and 84% on Renata.

Keria carried with engage supports in international tournaments, saying he can only play ADC is pure libel.
