Old progression thread intro:
"My progression thread I guess. I've been cubing on and off for a while but I recently really got into it. I learned how to solve about 3 years ago. My cube was really bad and the method I used was questionable. I did cross, then 1st layer, then 2nd layer. After that was a weird OLL with only 3 algs and a weird PLL with only 3 algs. Eventually I lost motivation due to my cube and also because I thought that that was the fastest way to solve a cube. I got back into it about 8 months ago to try to get sub 1 minute but, again, lost motivation because I thought it was only about turn speed. However, about 5 months ago I realized that there was probably a better way to solve it and really got back into to cubing. When I started 5 months ago I was averaging about 1 minute and 10 seconds. I have improved a lot but I want to eventually get sub 10. I'm not sure if I will be able to. I have learned F2L and all of PLL and about 10 OLL algs. I use a MoYu RS3M 2020 w/martian lube from scs. I haven't actually had a lot of time for timed solves so I want to work on that. I also know how to do 2 by 2 and pyraminx. I want to get a 4 by 4 and a 5 by 5. I have only got 14 sub 20s and want to work on consistently getting sub 20s and finishing OLL and working on F2l."
I am now done with OLL, average sub 20, have a 4 by 4 and 5 by 5, and use a GAN 356 M.
Average around 7 for 2 by 2 use ortega.
Average sub 20 for 3 by 3 using cfop.
Average 3 minutes for 4 by 4 using yau (like never do 4 by 4)
Pyraminx average 20 seconds (own method)
Skweb average 12 seconds learning intermedite
I have basically only been doing 3 by 3
