Cube Master has the best tutorial imo

I've tried his. It isn't very good imo. I couldn't really understand it.

I’m curious how long you are spending on each solve? Are you timing or working on speed at all in your practice?
Eli Apperson

Most of the time is memo, but I have to rush on audio edges bc if I don't I will forget.
Edit: I spend about 5 minutes on memo, then 1-2 on execution. I time every solve, but I don't really go for fast solves.

Makes sense, don’t stress time yet learning BLD. I’m am very slow at blind but have a very high success rate so take my comments with a grain of salt.
Do everything by you can to work on memo and don’t worry about execution yet. You have really good 3x3 times so once you’ve got memo down your execution will progress well.
do you have your letter pairs and whatever scheme your using for audio edges memorized well or do you have to come up with and create new pairs during memo?
Hang in there. BLD is a huge plateau to get over but once you get it down it’ll be really rewarding.

I've only been doing blind for 4 days, so for the most part I make up new audio pairs every solve. There are a few tricky ones that I have looked up, but I struggle a lot when the pair starts with a vowel.

I don't have school tomorrow so I'm going to grind blind solves until I get a success tonight.

Oh nice, well you’ve gotten pretty close already! Creating AND trying to recall pairs simultaneously is the hardest phase of BLD I think. You’ll get a success soon!

I ended up not doing any solves last night bc I had something due that I forgot about.
Starting up for the morning, hoping for a success or two

Be patient when memorizing and solving

I'm trying XD. It does get frustrating but it is encouraging to see my times getting lower, even if they are DNFs

Even though I didn't get any 3 Bld successes, I'm still pretty happy with the weeks work. I wasn't even really planning on doing any solves this week, so all things considered I think I did pretty will.
My Ao500 for the week:
3x3: 12.49
Pretty good, I would like to bring my global down to sub 12 by the comp
2x2: 4.09
Very happy with this, I think sub 3.5 is definitely attainable by the comp
