Hey guys, before starting to practice 4x4, I always had my doubts about how long it takes and how many solves I would beat the sub-1 minute average (Ao100), so I'm doing this thread to show my evolution every 1000 solves.
It took me about 2 months to reach 1000 solves.
First, I had never practiced 4x4. My 3x3 average was 20 seconds, and now it's 17~18 seconds.
Second, until my 730 solves, I was practicing with bad cube, which locked all the time, it was not magnetic, so my times were slow to improve. From 730 solve, I bought a better cube(YongJun Yusu V2 M), and today I am waiting for AoSu GTS2M to arrive at my home.
So... for those who have doubts about how much time to get a certain average, I will show my results.
