I haven't updated this in almost a week, but I've been busy.
I fell off the track of learning EG-1, but I only have Sune and Anti-Sune left, so I'll get back on track soon.
I practiced square-1 yesterday and I broke all of my PBs, including this 6.88 PB single:

Generated By csTimer+ on 2023-07-07
single: 6.88

Time List:
1. 6.88 (1,0)/ (3,0)/ (0,3)/ (0,-3)/ (-1,-4)/ (-2,-5)/ (5,0)/ (0,-3)/ (4,0)/ (6,-1)/ (3,-4)/ (-2,0)/

US Nationals is in less than 3 weeks, so I'm super excited about that, and I'll keep practicing!

 

[Deleted member 74176]

Ok, everybody, it's been a long time since I updated this but idrc.
US Nationals is in 9 days now, and I'm really excited about that. I've been practicing a ton, so hopefully, I do well.
If you're interested in my Mains & Goals, here is a video:

I started on the AS EG-1s today. They are all super easy and mirrors of the Sune cases.

How fast can you execute this set?

 

[Deleted member 74176]

How fast can you execute this set?

I’m not really sure but definitely sub-1.5 per alg. Maybe like 1.2 for the slowest alg? They’re pretty fast.
I haven’t been practicing 2x2 as much and I probably forgot a few EG-1s.
I’ll probably just be using CLL at Nationals

Stats after one day and my first 100 solves with Sheerin:

My current DNF rate is 25%, I was expecting it to be much higher.

 

[Deleted member 74176]

I continued practicing Sheerin throughout today, my DNF rate has gotten lower and I'm much more comfortable with the method.
I plan to practice Sheerin until the beginning of next week and then switch to 7simul. I also practice megaminx today, I broke my PB single with a 1:06.44, and I learned the first 8 CO algs.

 

[Deleted member 74176]

Just broke my FMC PB single!
Here's the reconstruction (some moves were canceled):

Scramble: R' U' F L' F2 U' L2 U' B2 L2 F2 R2 D2 R2 D F2 R' B L F2 R U' F' U' R' U' F
2x2x2: F U' F' U' R U R' D'
2x2x3: R' U2 B R2
F2L-1: U' B' R F' U F
Last pair: U' R' U R U' R2 U2
OLL: F2 D' F' D F' U'
PLL: z' R' U l' f' R' F R' F' R2 U' R' U l F
(44 moves)

I used an abnormal V Perm to save one move.
If anyone has any tips and critiques, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

[OtaMota]

Are wide moves allowed?

 

[Deleted member 74176]

Are wide moves allowed?

I think so.
I should've typed out the V-Perm using non-rotation moves, but I don't think it matters just to give a recon for my progression thread.

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

I don’t think you can use moves like l’ or f’ in FMC. Only the standard, inverted, and double moves of R, L, F, B, U, and D.

Good to know! I didn't use wide moves in my written solution anyway, because I write it out using notation with a fixed center position of white top green front. I included the wide moves in the typed-out recon because I'm lazy and could just copy and paste from speedcubedb
