Nice

So what's your PBs and what are you averaging in BLD right now?
My pb is 2:02 and I average around 3 mins. I could probably do better but I need to practice more and learn some more advanced methods lol. I have been taking up a lot of my blind practice on multi and 4bld. Mainly improving memo for multi and 4bld, I should probably practice speed more lol.
 
knocked another minute off my 5BLD PB

40/42 in 1:01:36, or 36/42 in 1:00:00, which is actually PB lol. Messed up the parity memo method on the 3bld and lost about 1:30 fixing it.

Also 3bld mo3 PB, first pure sub-30

Long overdue 4BLD PB mo3, used very little audio memo (so I am quite surprised that I'm the same speed but more accurate)

Also got a 5/6 5/6 Multi-Blind in 52:30.28 [43:18.31] at the BLD race thread.

Here's the (pretty bad, if you ask me) time-lapse:

 
Cotton modded all twelve of my Warrior Ws. Took something like 4 and a half hours. Didn't feel like it though.
The cubes are still kinda loud, but the pitch of their clacking is noticeably lower.

Hopefully when I do an MBLD attempt on a plane in two weeks it'll be less irritating to everyone else.
Also got some nice earmuffs.
 
26.77 3BLD PB single by 0.19 seconds.

That single is the second 26-second solve today, 3rd 26-second solve ever and 6th sub-30.
I will get sub-30 mo3 in June.

Also, I occasionally caught it on cam(wanted to record ao12.)
 
Broke some more 3Bld PBs today. 36.52 single and 50.10 average of 5.


I've been improving really fast recently, in the last eight days my 3Bld PBs have dropped from:
Ao12 - 1:11.66 to 1:03.82
Ao5 - 1:00.36 to 50.10
Single - 42.92 to 36.52

it's nice compared to my usual slog of shaving down 3Bld times second by second.
 
Impressive improvement. How have you been practising?
Thank you! I actually haven't been doing very much deliberate practice recently. About a month ago I finished learning 3-style corners as well as some edge flipping algs and a few edge commutators. I think most of my improvement has come from doing lots of solves and becoming more comfortable executing my commutators without pausing or hesitation.
I have done a bit of work with my memo though. One excersize I've tried is setting a timer to 18 seconds, memorizing the cube, then after 18 seconds pulling down my blindfold and trying to solve the cube regardless of if I have finished memorizing yet. This helps me me get into the mentality of rushing my memo to be as fast as possible.
 
3BLD Ao5 PB!
