Weird progression

[Thumbprint]

I started cubing not too long ago, and I made lots of progress very quickly. I entered the 30 second barrier and couldn't break it for around two months. About a week ago, I skipped the sub-30 barrier and instantly became sub-25 overnight and I'm not sure why. Does anyone have any explanation for this or a similar experience?

I can sort of relate. For OH, I made a massive jump from sub 1 to sub 45 overnight last summer, then my average crept down to sub 40 and ended up at 35. About a month ago, I practised again for a few days to work on my fingertricks and lookahead, and then jumped to sub 30.

My best guess is that you suddenly developed faster fingertricks overnight, but I can't be certain because I'm not you

I kinda had the same thing, when I used to use CFOP a while ago I like skipped from 35 seconds to 30 seconds. I am pretty sure its because I didn't think as much during my f2l. Pairing and inserting just became automatic.

Similar thing happened with me for 5x5. I went from averaging 1:55 to 1:45 in a single practice session

Same thing for me with clock. I was averaging about 45, stopped for the day, next time I picked it up I got a 22 first try and proceeded to average 30.

ah yes, That happened many times for me. I got sub 30 instantly, then after a month of plateauing, I suddenly got sub 25 in a day lol

I plateaued at about 28 secs than after learning full OLL and practicing, my times dropped to about 22.
More practicing brought it down to 20 secs.

Yes, learning algs will drop your times i dont care what your turning speed is but it lowers the move count of the solve.
