While on YouTube the other day I watched clips of Feliks Zemdegs and other insanely good speed cubers. And what I want to know is, how do their fingers move at such and ungodly pace? Is it all just the product of butt tons of practice? Do they have specific finger workouts? or were they just born with extreme dexterity? Please let me know!

that sounds about right. I haven't been able to cube for a few days because my wrists are pretty sore. I wonder how much better I will be in a few months though.

I try to practice about 2 hours a day on week days. And all day on weekends!!!
I have been cubing off and on for about 5 years. But I only just got back into speed cubing 3 weeks ago. My averages have already dropped from 35 seconds to 25 seconds.

Fast turning just takes time. I average like 6 TPS but my solutions are way too long.

I've been Cubing since January of this year. In a year you can get sub 15 easy.

Thanks! that is very reassuring. I guess I will see you next year at cubetcha then lol. That is if I don't give up on cubing again. Last year for about a month I was really determined. But then college history took up all of my time and I had to quit :(

Yeah definitely! If you practice as much as you say, you'll get fast very.. Fast.

How I practice: *goes into room *locks door *turns on metallica *cubes for days whenever I practice I never go as fast as I possibly can. I always think things through and enjoy the time alone.
