Do you have bad solving days? How do you deal with bad times?

I usually have bad times because I'm pressuring myself, I'm really tired or on too much caffein haha.
I usually take a short break and calm myself down if pressure is the issue. If i doesn't get better, i stop for that day.

Really! I perform a lot better with a caffeine load. Although it might just be that I generally only cube for a long period and get properly warmed up when I've had a coffee or two during the session.

It may just be a placebo effect. It only happens when I had like 3 or 4 though. Add red bull to that and I'm almost shaking haha.

It is so wierd... I avg around 27... but yesterday somehow managed to get a 13.8... then went back to my 26-27 second solves... I thought that record was going to stand for at least months, then today, one of the first timed solves of the day, I get a 12.8... I don't even know how... then went straight back... I get random lucky solves, and neither of those solves had a skip...

You cannot deduce how fast you are with just an Ao12 and you lost me when saying you average 12s with 4LLL.

i avarage 12 seconds every da and yes with 4looklast layer cross and f2l takes me 7-8 seconds and the rest is last layer but i have sometimes bad das not often but i have them and i want to know if its normal???

That's a ridiculously fast last layer for 4LLL, so I'm disinclined to believe you.

source: I avg 12

I avg about 5 on LL, and I know full PLL and 46 OLLs. Either you have amazing TPS and recog, or you're being a nub.
