are there trainers for 5x5 l2e?

As far as I've seen, there aren't any. Doing solves is the best way.

two questions
why do i perform better when i put the cube lower for 4x4 and 5x5
the difference is massive.i have a 30 second ao12 for 4x4 when i put the cube lower while my pb when i put the cube higher is 32

Your hands get less tired, so your able to turn easily, giving higher TPS

How much solves does it take to be Sub-3 on 7x7?

Becoming sub 3:45 and beyond becomes a lot harder when you are practicing just by doing solves. You need to learn new techniques like different ways to build centers, in edges you need to solve what you can first and bookmark partially solved edges, you need to become more color-neutral on edges, you need to preserve big blocks of centers when you see them, etc. There are many things to learn once you want to get fast.

I was able to become sub-3 on 7x7 around 8 months after i got my first 7x7, with around 500-600 solves (including untimed solves) and around an average of 15-25 minutes of practice a day.

that is a good explanation,but i feel like its more because my recognition got better

Your recognition got better because in a way, looking down is a more natural position for your eyes rather than looking in front

Hi everyone,
To kick things off, I just broke my 7x7 PB twice today. I went from a 3:42.14 down to a 3:37.60.
That puts me at just about one piece per second, which I'm hyped about!
Here is my previous PB (3:48.18) caught on camera for my 100th solve progress:

My 7x7 is now 3 minutes 31.85 seconds!I broke it not too long after posting this!

My all-time PB for 7x7 was 4:25 and I got a random 3:52 in comp

I have the Qiyi Warrior 6x6, it’s amazing! It’s $17, but absolutely insane for the price! I’ve heard the 5x5 and 7x7 are good too (also very inexpensive)

5-7 is the best for me bro!
I kinda quit 4x4 but am getting interested in it again!
Record single PBS I have:
4x4-48.55 using Redux
5x5-1:24.77 using Yau
6x6-2:29.03 using Yau
7x7-3:13.43 using Redux
Best budget options:Warrior 5-7
I imagine Qiyi 4 M is great, but I do not have it yet.
I LOVE BIG CUBES!!!!!
