YESSS SUB 20 Ao5!!

 

[Eli Apperson]

After doing an average of 12 for the race to sub x thread, I've realized how rusty I am at 3x3 right now. I was averaging sub 12 and now I'm around 13.
I think a hundred solves or so will bring back my normal average. I need a way to not get slower while grinding new events.

Made a new practice routine:

Strict regimen wow

Strict regimen wow

It isn't really that much. I generally practice about 2 hours a day as it is, this will just (hopefully) force me to practice events I don't like as much.

Blue Cross Ao100

Todays Square 1 Session went pretty well.
Ao100 is 26.83

You mention Ao100 so casually. Aren't your fingers tired?

Yes.

Yes.

I also had to paint at work for a couple hours today, so 250 solves plus holding a brush for 2 hours plus working out has exhausted me today.

Final Average of the night
5x5 Ao12
1:55.41

First 6x6 Average in over a year

Nope. Like 25 seconds off.

First 7x7 Average ever:
6:46.70

I need to get faster.
Quick.
I'm probably going to update this thread daily for awhile.

Todays Square 1 Ao50
27.44

Solid 3x3 session today, I did a few blue cross solves, and got lots of 11's as well as 4 sub tens, 1 being a PB.

 

[Eli Apperson]

2x2 PB, 1.49. Could have been a lot better, but I didn't recognize that it was a 4 mover

[Eli Apperson]

Finished relearning the T CLL's, and the H Clls
Todays 3x3 Ao100 was 13.44
I have a long way to go to get back to normal.

 

[Eli Apperson]

18.xx Blue cross average today with loads of 15s.

4x4 Ao25 today
59.77. It wasn't great, but I got a 45.98 PB single.

1:47.58 5x5 Ao12
Pretty decent, with a few nice 1:30s.

 

[Eli Apperson]

Todays 2x2 Ao100:
4.43. Pretty decent, I would guess I have around 10 more CLL's to learn.

 

[Eli Apperson]

Yesterdays 6x6 and 7x7 Ao12's
6x6: 3:51.24
7x7: 6:24.31 with a 5:40.36 PB single.

Do you know ZZ? Since you're a pretty advanced 3x3 solver already learning it could be very useful not only for OH but implementing advanced ideas/recognition into your regular 3x3 solves.

Yes, I use occasionally for 2H as well as OH. I just find it seems to waste time if you are not using it as your main method.

Going on a 1 week trip on Monday, I'm going to try to keep practice somewhat consistent.
