Eli Apperson's progression thread

[Eli Apperson]

I think my limit for 5x5 solves per day is about 25. After that my times get worse and worse, so I have to switch to a different event. Hopefully my hands will get used to it and I can so more per day.

I switched mains back to the MAX Gan XS. I cleaned it out and lubed it with lunar and mystic, and it is incredible.

@zzoomer How hard would you say it would be to sub .9 or sub 1 all PLLs? I've found my LL lacking and it seems like a good first step.

Only 3 of my PLLs are sub-1, but that’s definitely not what’s holding me back. The cross is the worst part of my solves. It also depends on what you average, though. If you’re sub-10, then it might help, but if you’re only about 15 (or over), then you probably have more important things to work on. That’s just my opinion, though.

Rn I average 13, my cross average is 1.3, F2L about 7-8, OLL 1-2, and Pll 1-3

It just seems like a good start to improving more. I'd like to get all LL algs sub 1 (including COLL), and then start working on F2L a bit more

So far I can sub 1 J's, U's, H, T, A's, and Gd. Working on Na and Nb rn.

Beat my 5x5 Single: 1:36.49

Finally found a good main. WR M 2019 with the rs3m+ magnet kit.

Getting PLL times down. I'm sub 1.4 on all and sub 1 on about 10

 

[Eli Apperson]

Going on a week vacation next week, so for the next 2 weeks I'm going to be doing only cross+1. It will be interesting to se how this affects my times when I get back.
Edit:Still working on PLL's

execution isn't everything, you should learn to recog cases fast too (try learning 2-side)
i can't say how hard it would be for you to do all PLL sub 1, it really depends on the person

Only 7 people in the world have done it

There are only 7 on the spreadsheet. But there are a lot more than that.

[EvanCuber]

I am not on the spreadsheet, but I have sub 1 all PLLs Framecounted. I just have not submitted my times to Stewy because I feel like there are a lot of PLLs I can still get a lot better at

 

[Eli Apperson]

Did my first 4x4 session in ages, smashed every PB. My mgc is really overlubed, so I'm probably gonna get a new one, I expect to be sub 50 then.

Also finally averaging 12ish.

Bruh I literally average 12 seconds and still haven't gotten a sub-12 ao12

It was my first. I had been cubing for around 2 hours and I finally was getting really good times.

Se que no tiene nada que ver pero descubri una nueva Ub Perm, jamas la habia visto , no es una forma profesional pero es mas facil para principiantes:

(L' U' L U) (R U R' U') (U' L' U L) (U R U' R')

Spoiler: Google Translated

I know it has nothing to do with it but I discovered a new Ub Perm which I had never seen before,it is not professional but it is easier for beginners

is it heavy ?

Thx lol. I already like my Ub perm pretty well.

Not at all. Not more than 5-6g heavier

First sub 13 Ao100.
Also that 9.33 was really nice.

Overall PB in the weekly comp for 5x5: 1:33.27

 

[Eli Apperson]

Starting ZBLL again. Not gonna put any goals, but I'm just gonna try to learn casually. Starting with U's, and I think will try to learn 1 out of the 6 U subsets every 1-3 weeks

Learned U1,U2,U3,U4
I should be learning 5,6, and possibly more tomorrow. Cross+1 is going well.

 

[Eli Apperson]

Learned ZBLL U5,U6. Gonna learn 2 more today and drill. Started doing CN solves, I'm gonna do a red cross Ao250 today. I think if I can learn blue and red cross well, I can use that knowledge to learn orange and green. I think CN, and ZBLL- Sune and Anti, and sub 10 are attainable by the end of the year

 

[Eli Apperson]

Didn't end up doing the red cross average. I'm gonna keep learning ZBLL, but I'm probably gonna take a break from 3x3 and learn some BLD stuff. Goal: Sub 4 and 3/3 Multi
