A beginners training schedule - road to sub 30

[Werner]

Long time no see eye...

Anyway, i think that everyone is diffrent when it comes to how you can maximize your training so to speak.
And people focus on diffrent things for speed.

I learned Full OLL in about a week time. Spread over a period of one month.
I finnished learning all of the OLL`s about the same time as PLL
Because to me learning OLL cases is easy as 3,14159265
Right now i avreage around 22 - 23 with slow turning.
Meaning i look ahead and dont go mind blowing fast. But instead going smooth throughout the whole solve.

My best time so far is 14 with a skip, and 15 no skips.

I mean if you like learning algorithms I dont see why not learn them.

I knew full OLL and full PLL before i broke 30 seconds.

Stuff that helped me allot was not focusing to much on cubing when i was turning. I was 100% into the solve i would do terrible.
But now if i think about Usain bolt, ice cream or if it is posssible to shave monkeys in the velocity of light. I tend to do allot better.

Hardcore man, make sure you update us.

I have a strong dedication to getting Sub-25 (I'm around 40-45 right now) too. but this is a lot.

I'd love to get into ZB and everything too, as you progress let me know how its going at least (PM)

I'e been cubing for around six months now and im averaging 42 seconds using the fridrich method I hope to get sub 20 before the bristol and uk open in november 2010 at the moment im not satisfied with my f2l it takes me just under 30 seconds to complete my cross and f2l which i hope to get down to around half the time and in doing so get my oll and pll down to around 5 seconds!for the moment i will be using crappy store bought but at christmas I will have a white type c(diy) i am currently doing around an hour of cubing a day but now I'm going to use this tie table to get to sub 30 but i will also be doing an hour of soling aswel if anyone has any advise on how to get sub 30 or lower please share. I hope to hear from you soon so thank you

I average 28-ish...When I'm not actually trying to record an average. >.<. Anyway, I've almost learned OLL. and I don't see why not.

I like the things you think about when cubing.

By the way I'm not going to cram the oll in to 2 weeks im guna spraed it out over around 2 or 3 months

the biggest barrier to getting sub-xx is the barrier you make, basically the barrier is that you cant wrap your mind around getting faster. Im pretty sure this was said in another thread by cmhardrw(sp),

at first the thread seemed like bull crap, i mean really you cant get there because you set a barrier? if that were true youd just remove the barrier and get faster right?

the thing with me was i had no clue what i was doing or how to get faster, i felt like i was stuck. i Started attempting to learn COLL (i use roux fyi) so that i could cut the time of my corners down by 2-3 seconds.

at this time i began to take breakdown of my solves, and realized that my step 1 and step 2 were really good for the times i was getting. my breakdown w/o recog looked something like 7-8-5-7 however i was still around the 30-32 second average mark.

finally i saw what i could do to get faster, i had to cut down pause time between step 1 and 2, which meant i had to slow down slightly during my last edge insertion on step 1 and look for the DR edge during that.

also i worked on step 4 quite a lot, i solved it in as few moves as possible, and reduced my average move count about 5 moves, which means about one second.

basically to cut down your times just know you can.

i would suggest to do a break down, and see what you need to work on. if your using fridrich i would suggest that you be able to do the cross from any situation in no more than 7 moves. and try and find the most efficient F2L "algs" possible for you. dont necessarily go for the ones with the least number of moves but go for the one that you can execute the fastest, work on OLL and PLL recog, and start doing OLL and PLL time attacks.

hope this helps

I was shocked when I thought you got to 14s a few days after posting, then I saw the post was in Feb .

im now sin my type c and my erspnal best is 27.80 and my aavg is about 34.xx so hope to break sub 30 very soon
