Sub20Soon Progression Thread // Road To Sub 15

Hi everyone i will try @Michael Wimberly's training plan. So basically i will work on Cross for 1 week, then F2L for 1 week, OLL and PLL. Right now i average sub 3 cross. My goal for this week is to have a sub 2 cross and efficient solutions, maybe look at some x-cross videos. Once the 4 weeks are finished i will prolly ask @Caleb Valenzuela for 3x3 help since i found a thing to hold the phone !
Edit: For today i will just spam cross solves to check my global and tomorrow i will check vids and do drills
Edit 2: I was trying to do a couple 3x3 solves and i had a PB bpa5 but i had cold hands (there's always excuses...) and i didn't get it :(

It will work if you just grind, I learned 4 F2L algs yesterday which is a huge feat for someone who has a cooked attention span like me
 
I reccomend these videos

Thread '[CubeHead] Cross: What level are you?'

Really nice video idea by CubeHead. I've been waiting for a cross bootcamp for a long time


I got the optimal crosses of level 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and suboptimal on 3 and 6, but I took longer than 15 sec. Totally failed for 8, 9, 10.

12 points but since I took extra time I'll put myself at cross trainee

Forgot my GAN V100 at school 😭 I will check videos about cross and efficiency in cross and how to plan. Do y'all have good videos/articles/ressources that i could look at ?

Alrigth i watched 2 J perm videos and i learned to recognize bad edges and to deal them as soon as possible. Also that i should have my full cross panned in inspection to get a better lookahead. Most of the things he said (put them relative, bad edge on top of good one then R' F), i already used them in my solves.
 
Alright guys, little update over here! I lowkey practiced cross for a long time tofay and i did another couple of solves. I think i can pretty much plan full cross on every solve and out of the ~10 solves i did,most of them were a 15.xx and the worse was a 16.xx. I think my f2l lookahed improved eve though i didn't practiced it. Maybe it's because i have a better cross to f2l transition... My f2l is done around 9-11 secs!
 
Yaaaayyyy i got my first sub 15 ao5 !!! Cross training really helped !! And a counting 13 !!! Also yesterday i got a 11.70 but it was a misscramble
I also got a 12 30 mins ago and i just broke my pb ao12 !!

yoo congrats
 
yo i actually came back cuz the other day i was cleaning my room and i found my GAN V100 and my timer in a bag so i solved a lil and it was fun. So, i didn't fell off that much, still averaging 15-19 on 3x3 (i forgot a couple oll agls (more like THE WHOLE DOT CASES) but i still got f2l and pll) for 2x2, pretty much the same times, between 3 and 6 secs. Skweb, Pyra i wasn't practicing much on these, im still a beginner on them and my times stayed the same. BUT, i forgot 3-2-3 on 4x4 along with oll parity and pll parity. I think it's just deep in my muscle memory and i will get them back in on time ! So yeah, im happy to be back with yall ! PS: where the hell is caleb ?
