At first, probably not. It seems like you're best off just going for as many as you can.

But once you feel like you've hit your limit, then I think it can make a difference to train with fewer cubes. If I hit a few faster solves with just a few cubes, it seems like I get used to the increased memorization speed, and I go faster with more. So once you feel like you can't do any more in the hour limit, then it might make sense to try small numbers of cubes.
 
Finally a sub-1 with freestyle. Still terribly low success rate and slow execution though

Getting more sub-20 memos nowadays

Good work Ramadan! Do you memo all five cubes visually?

And no, practice with as many you can make (and then perhaps one or two more).
Then the real stuff (with perhaps as many as you intend to do in next comp) feels so easy.

Thanks Mats! I have left the field of visual memo for MBLD, except for the last cube. I use roman rooms with my house as base, which has 50 locations. Each location I assing an image made out of two letters. I do this for both corners and edges, meaning one cube is about 10 images. Do you think this is a good idea? How do youmemo for MBLD?

I will stick to your plan of training with as many as I can, meaning 5-6 from now on. No more easy!

On a side note, I just did my FASTEST 3/3 MBLD afew hours ago! 15:46.76 with about 9min30sec memo. Proud :D

On the first one, I couldn't remember how to orient the top layer after the J perm to fix corner and edge parity. On the third one, I mismemorized the corners and had to start over. That still happens way too often to me - it's so easy to get confused when going back and forth between the prememorized letters and the final memorized letters.

I've now had successful solves for 24 of the 90 possible shape cases (yes, I'm keeping track - I figure it's the sure-fire way to know I have the correct memorization for that case). I wonder how long it will be before I've had successful solves for all 90 cases?

Yes that is a good memo strategy, letter pairs are quite popular in big cubes and multi BLD. And congratulations on your 3/3.

Lucky. Only 7 letters for edges, normal for corners. 2 edges flipped though

Also 53 and 54 DNFs. The 54 was off by 3 cycle edges cos I did a wrong cycle at the end :fp

edit: 1:11 on Zane_C's scramble. Edges were good but corners hard :(
 
Square-1 BLD single: 4:32.54 (2:07 memorization). Finally sub-5!

Although maybe I shouldn't count it, because although it was 5 moves from square, once I got it to square, it had 5 edges and 1 corner already solved. That's 37.5% solved! So yeah, I guess it was lucky and it doesn't really count. Funny to think a square-1 BLD scramble 5 moves from square was a lucky solve. :)

Scramble: (-3,-3) / (0,3) / (-3,2) / (4,1) / (2,0) / (-2,3) / (-3,2) / (6,0) / (6,0) / (6,2) / (4,2) / (0,2) / (4,0) / (6,4) / (2,0) / (6,5) /
case JC
 
Mike, that's incredible! Congrats on the sub-5! Also, I think that scramble should not count as lucky per-se. To be fair, you're still solving a square-1 blindfolded :) I think you should still give yourself the credit!
