I've just skimmed ~150 pages of "The FMC Thread" (until my first post there) to find good ideas/algorithms to improve my FMC skills. Because I felt like doing it, and because it isn't always about practice.
The best thing is that I actually found useful stuff, like this alg: U2 L F' R B L2 D2 B R' F L B2
I have also understood something about shifting algorithms.
I didn't waste 2 hours or so for nothing, this is a great accomplishment!

Resuming 7x7 practice.

3:13.32, 3:24.37, 3:21.40, 3:26.68, 3:13.70 = 3:19.82 avg5

EDIT:

3:25.50 avg12 = 3:13.32, 3:24.37, 3:21.40, 3:26.68, 3:13.70, (3:40.46), 3:38.15, (3:13.16), 3:23.98, 3:32.09, 3:33.05, 3:28.25

Funny how there were three 3:13's but no other sub-3:20's
