Splenj's Progression thread

[Splenj]

Hello all, 3rd try lucky
This is going to be my progression thread of all my events, I will try and do it with all of my events, with an update once a week
At the moment the events I practice are:
2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, Skewb, Pyraminx, Square-1, 3x3 OH and 3x3 blind, I am also learning 4x4 blind (I know all the algorithms now, just need to practice memory and execution), and sometimes like FMC, but probably won't bother practicing it seriously.
Best Averages and Singles as follows:
3x3 Single - 9.83, Ao5 - 13:03 - I average sub 20
2x2 Single - 3.05 (pretty sure I've got a sub-3, but obviously I've lost it), Ao5 - 5.51 - I average about 7 seconds
4x4 Single - 47.06, Ao5 - 59.23 - I average about 1 minute
5x5 Single - 1:59.60, Ao5 - 2:26.33 - I average about 2:40.00
6x6 Single - 3:59.64, Ao5 - 4:20.19 - I average about 4:30.00
7x7 Single - 6:26.60, Ao5 - 7:04.29 - I average about 7:10.00
Skewb Single - 6.00, Ao5 - 10.87 - I average about 13 seconds
Pyraminx Single - 5.25, Ao5 - 11.21 - I average about 13 seconds
Square-1 Single - 22.40, Ao5 - 32.91 - I average about 45 seconds
3x3 OH Single - 18.80, Ao5 - 24.84 - I average about 30 seconds
3x3 Blind Single - 6:10.99 - I haven't got an Ao5 yet! - I average about 7 minutes

My goals are: sub 6 2x2, sub 15 3x3, sub 1 minute 4x4, sub 2 minute 5x5, sub 4 minute 6x6, sub 7 minutes 7x7, sub 10 Skewb and Pyraminx, sub 40 square-1, sub 30 OH, and sub 5 minutes blind - also to learn 4x4 blind.

The events I am practicing most at the moment are the NxN events, including blind.

Hopefully I can keep this one going for a while!
Any tips would be great!

So far I have pretty much got execution down for 4x4 bld, and am still working on memo.
Haven't really done much solving otherwise, so haven't noticed any improvement otherwise

 

[Splenj]

Got my first sub 17 Ao1000!
(3x3)

I think I am pretty much Sub 7 mins on 7x7 now, so am now aiming for sub 6:30

I got a new pb - 6:11.32 single, and Ao5 - 6:37.36, so making steady progress!

Making some progress:

6x6 - new pb - 3:38.07, PB Ao5 - 4:13.64, still averaging mid to low 4 mins

and Pyraminx, learnt a few new algs - new pb - 4.12 and PB Ao5 - 8.14 - I am now getting sub-10 seconds more often so making progress!

A few updates:

New PB 3x3 - 9.40
And some practice on megaminx leading to a pb single - 2:43.41 and Ao5 - 2:59.69 ( I didn't actually mention megaminx originally, but have been practicing a bit, and this is down from about 4 mins, so have changed my average by about 1 min in about a month!

Nice progress!
How many sub-10s do you have?

 

[Splenj]

Nice progress!
How many sub-10s do you have?

Only 2! - my first was 9.83 (as in my first post) - But I am definitely getting closer to the sub 15 range - just got to keep practicing!

Good luck, if you do more solves, you will get more sub-10s!

Also yesterday (after my post) I got a 9.57 - but with a +2

New PB Ao5 for 5x5! - 2:12.17 - my pb single is 1:59.60 so hopefully new pb single soon!
