Metronome discussion thread

[Ellis]

No, I still don't understand the difference and why you should be waiting until a certain time to start them. anyway, I don't want to ruin your thread. Let the race begin!

 

[spdcbr]

I've been using a metronome for months...

Your point is?

 

[byu]

Just got 144 bpm. I'm going to try to beat spdcbr to Presto (starts at 168 on my metronome).

EDIT: I'm making a few mistakes at 160, I'll keep trying.

EDIT 2: YES! 160 bpm success. Time to try PRESTO!

EDIT 3: So close to a 168 (Presto) success. I skipped a beat during PLL recognition.

EDIT 4: Once again a very close 168 bpm failure. I messed up on OLL recognition, skipping 2 beats.

EDIT 5: Another 168 bpm failure. Skipped 2 beats during the last F2L pair.

I can go with it pretty fast once I get started, but minding my first edge pair is always a challenge for me. Anyone else have this problem?

edit: finding*

 

[byu]

I practice doing a blindfolded cross, and then it helps a lot because you can lookahead for the first pair during cross.

 

[spdcbr]

Yes! 160 BMP barrier broken!

Edit: 168 BMP broken!

Edit 2: Byu, you do know that the metronome race is only on the F2L...right? You keep saying that you are messing up on the OLL and PLL recognition...

Edit 3: 176 BMP broken! I'm beating you to 208 BMP byu(LOL! I'll try anyway, byu is better than me.)

Edit 4: I'm skipping 192. Straight to 200!

 

[byu]

I must beat spdcbr to pass 168 (presto)...

EDIT: YES!!!!! Finally a success at 168 bpm! I am now at Presto! Yikes, Prestissimo is really fast...

 

[spdcbr]

IM ON 208!!!!!!Yess!!! I WILL break this last barrier!

 

[byu]

Oh, it's F2L only, then I'd be already pretty fast. Skipping to 208 (highest my metronome goes up to)

YEAH!!!!!! I have conquered my own metronome! I have gotten 208 F2L! I am finally at 208!

 

[spdcbr]

HoLy.....2o8 iS hArD!

 

[spdcbr]

Dude..you have to master 208 too...

 

[byu]

208 almost got me, but I got it on my first try for F2L only. Now I'm going to try 208 entire full solve.

 

[spdcbr]

Yes! I mastered 208 too! Like you said, I'm going for a whole solve too, but my F2L has improved without realizing it. I'm having a feeling that I will break my PB.

 

[spdcbr]

By the way, will anyone subscribe to my thread? Just a question, not a demand.

 

[spdcbr]

This training has BOOSTED my times. pm this to your friends!

 

[byu]

Please spdcbr, don't double post (or triple post). It's not a good thing to do on the forums, I know you're kind of new, but use Edit instead of double posting, especially when they're within minutes of each other.

 

[spdcbr]

Sure. I'll try, I never really knew what that meant.

EDIT: I just found out that my electric piano's installed metronome can go well over 208 BMP, time to start practicing again!

300 BPM race... That would be fast... 5 TPS.

EDIT: http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/metronome.php Goes up to 250
I can't do a fast F2L... I don't think I could even hit 40.

EDIT #2 When that gets too slow, try this(Up to 340 BPM)... but it is a download and a trial.

I need a faster metronome to do this...
