iguana cubing progression - aiming for sub-10

[iguana]

I just got a 4x4 PB ao5 - 43.17!

I think it was more luck than skill, but let's not talk about that...

What event should I lock in on?

I just got an FMC PB mean of 37 moves! I am competing in FMC for the first time in competition on Sunday, so I have been doing a bit more practice recently.

The solves are below:
41
37
33

This PB means a lot to me. The first FMC mean I ever did was on 31 March, when I got a 39.67 average. Since then, I had never been able to break it, even getting averages above 50 moves. I recently broke my PB single of 35 (which I got in this mean) with a 34, and later a 33, and I am now very happy to have beaten my first ever average as well.

tldr: yap

I just got a 3x3 PB of 8.49!!! It had a nine move cross and a y2, but I don't care that much as I hit 6 TPS! This is my second sub-9 and twenty-eighth sub-10.

Just got an 11.08 PB ao5!

(17.66)
(10.59)
10.60
10.59
12.04

Next solve was a DNF so I couldn't improve the average.

Sub-11 is calling...

10.95 PB ao5!

I predicted first pair/made an xcross on 3 of the solves.

10.51
(13.25)
10.31
12.03
(9.58)

10.51
(13.25)
10.31
12.03
(9.58)

I kind of improved the average.

10.31
12.03
9.58
(12.48)
(9.54)
=10.64 average

This is my first counting sub-10! The 9.54 also locked an 11.75 pb ao12, and had a 26 move last layer!

I have been doing FTO today and I really like it. I have had and known how to solve an FTO for about 4 months, but using a rubbish method equivalent to corners first on 3x3. I learned the first part of Bensisco (or however you spell it) about a month ago from Chris Choi's tutorial, and just learned how to do pair formation and TCP from Tingman's tutorial that came out today. My PBs are 1:16.80 for single and 1:35.79 for ao5, and I have no plans to stop grinding!

 

[iguana]

I decided that the best way to start today would be with some FTO solves - I've gotten a 1:20.65 ao5 and a 52.53 single!

I have a problem. I just got a 2x2 pb ao5, which is 3.28. I did the last four solves today - however, the first one way five days ago. I wouldn't mind if it was the worst solve, but it's counting, so I don't know if I should see this average as pb.

It counts, or just do a 5th solve that reached target.

I hate when this happens lol, I always try to purposely do kinda mid after getting good solves if I’m about to finish for the day lol
