Impressive improvement. How have you been practising?
Thank you! I actually haven't been doing very much deliberate practice recently. About a month ago I finished learning 3-style corners as well as some edge flipping algs and a few edge commutators. I think most of my improvement has come from doing lots of solves and becoming more comfortable executing my commutators without pausing or hesitation.
I have done a bit of work with my memo though. One excersize I've tried is setting a timer to 18 seconds, memorizing the cube, then after 18 seconds pulling down my blindfold and trying to solve the cube regardless of if I have finished memorizing yet. This helps me me get into the mentality of rushing my memo to be as fast as possible.

Got one of those PBs just now where you kinda blow your own mind. I got my first sub-4 4BLD earlier today, a 3:50.83, and my PB before that was 4:04.xy.

Just now I got a 3:32.90[1:41.36]...........
Scramble was a bit lucky for centers but nothing crazy. I just had really good think ahead and full center comms and almost full wing comms :)

I scrambled in my orientation (orange front yellow top), z rotation gives 8 corner targets, 15 center targets and 24 wing targets.

4:21.37 4BLD mo3 and ao5 :D
Haven't had a successful mo3 or ao5 for like 4 months, previous PBs were both 7:01.68.
I think I may average sub-4 now...I got 3 sub-4 singles in a row and the last two solves in these averages were really safe.

avg of 5: 4:21.37

EDIT: Idk what the hell has happened in the last two days but I somehow got 10 times more accurate and dropped a minute off of my 4bld average lol. Just beat that 4BLD mo3, and I have 7 successes in a row right now. 3 more successes in a row and I'll have my first 4BLD ao12 o_O

4BLD ao5 3:55.00 and mo3 3:43.14
1. 3:44.11[1:28.86]
2. (3:08.55[1:11.30])
3. 4:38.22[1:34.12]
4. 3:22.67[1:13.83]
5. (DNF(4:05.86))
Also 3:08 is a PB by 2 seconds.
I am very inconsistent and have a lot of slow solves, such as #3 and #5, so I think it can be easily improved.

29/33 multibld in 1:01:50.10. 1:13.13 memo per cube and 39.29 exec per cube.
Spent a whole minute trying to recall a corner pair on one cube and recalled it incorrectly, and also forgot corners on a cube and picked it up later in the wrong orientation. Wasted over two minutes on these two cubes combined, so sub-hour is definitely doable already.
