At my+(superlative)
I noticed that the phrases "at my best" and "at my worst" were frequently used to describe one's mental or physical state, I also just recently heard "at my weakest" and "at my strongest" which made me curious to know if there are other adjectives used commonly in this construction.
Thanks.

At their best, people will answer rather than comment.
Joey comments that almost anything can be used in this manner.
Solecki's comment is a good point. Can frequently be used sarcastically.

@solecki Interesting! I was actually trying to use some adjectives in that construction and found out that many of them could be used to imply sarcasm, for example: I'm at my coolest! he's at his wisest! she's at her sweetest!

"... at its finest" is quite commonly used. It's often used sarcastically though, e.g. during a BSOD (basically when the Windows operating system makes a booboo): "Windows at its finest".

We can use almost any superlative with this combination. Some are more common than others, but you could theoretically use any superlative with "at my", "at your", "at his/her/its".
