One of my least favorite algs is surprisingly the Y perm. It's fast, but I just can't seem to do it right under pressure. My current alg is the standard F (R U' R) U' (R U R') F' then sexy sledge, but I might have found a contender for this alg: (F R' F) R2 U' R' U' (R U R' F') (R U R' U') F'. It feels smooth and I can fingertrick it well.

J perm recommended that alg for OP corners in 3BLD, I've also considered switching to it for a standard Y perm.
 
Finished my fourth ao100 (100 solves in two days goes crazy). I can’t post the average rn, but I will say that I got a 3:05 mo3 during the session and got a lot more low 3 solves. So I am getting faster. The ao100 average was a 3:23
Edit: nvm here’s the mean now:

So @Isaiah Scott and @gsingh made a plan that I like for progressing in speedcubing. So here’s what I’m going to work on:
Now- end of April: hopefully finish up 7x7 ao1000 and also work on being better with my solutions. Also start up BLD, the other big cubes and mega. Also 3x3 work.
That’s April for me!

Also I’m learning ZBLL IG. Don’t care if I’m prepared or not now, I’m just going to do it.

Why go for ZBLL when you can go for 1LLL right away? Maybe use ZBLL as a baby step. First memorize all the cases with EO, then take on the real challenge! It's only 3916 algs.

(side note: the one person in the world who actually learned full 1LLL said that he learned 150 algs in a day, which he said took him about an hour 🤯)
