I think my limit for 5x5 solves per day is about 25. After that my times get worse and worse, so I have to switch to a different event. Hopefully my hands will get used to it and I can so more per day.

I switched mains back to the MAX Gan XS. I cleaned it out and lubed it with lunar and mystic, and it is incredible.

@zzoomer How hard would you say it would be to sub .9 or sub 1 all PLLs? I've found my LL lacking and it seems like a good first step.

Only 3 of my PLLs are sub-1, but that’s definitely not what’s holding me back. The cross is the worst part of my solves. It also depends on what you average, though. If you’re sub-10, then it might help, but if you’re only about 15 (or over), then you probably have more important things to work on. That’s just my opinion, though.

Rn I average 13, my cross average is 1.3, F2L about 7-8, OLL 1-2, and Pll 1-3

It just seems like a good start to improving more. I'd like to get all LL algs sub 1 (including COLL), and then start working on F2L a bit more

So far I can sub 1 J's, U's, H, T, A's, and Gd. Working on Na and Nb rn.

Learned ZBLL U5,U6. Gonna learn 2 more today and drill. Started doing CN solves, I'm gonna do a red cross Ao250 today. I think if I can learn blue and red cross well, I can use that knowledge to learn orange and green. I think CN, and ZBLL- Sune and Anti, and sub 10 are attainable by the end of the year
