Yooo just got a PB ao5: 10.31

[Eli Apperson]

Updated my practice routine for the rest of the year. Starting in 2022, I'm going to be only practicing 3-4 events at a time.
I plan on practicing 5x5(Grinding), 3x3(Learning Algs, new techniques) , and 2x2(1 looking, implementing EG-1 and CLL into my solves) in January, and I will figure the rest out then.

[Eli Apperson]

Gonna take the weekend off of cubing bc of some wrist pain. I did a 2-7 relay just for fun and got 13:47

 

[Eli Apperson]

About to register for my first comp, Utah Ice Cubing 2022.
The events are 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, Pyraminx, and 3 Blind, so I'm going to be changing my practice schedule to these events only.
I haven't done 3bld or pyra in a long while, so if anyone has any tips to get decent at them fast, it would be appreciated.
I'm not going to set goals yet, because it is still a month away, and I can improve in all of these quite a bit in that amount of time.

 

[Eli Apperson]

I have 5 weeks till the comp, so here is my practice plan:
Week 1: Learn 3 Bld M2/OP, Ao100 every day in 2x2 and 3x3.
Week 2: Start Practicing 3BLd, Ao5 every day, Ao100 every day in 2x2 and 3x3 and ao25 every day in 4x4.
Week 3: Same schedule as last week, but start learning L4E.
Week 4: Same as week 2 + Ao100 every day for Pyraminx
Week 5: Ao5 3Bld, Ao100 2x2, Ao100 3x3, Ao25 4x4, Ao100 Pyraminx.

For better memo: stick to one word per letter pair. Ex. Ab can be abs, ac can be air conditioning, etc.

 

[Eli Apperson]

Currently learning the m2 special cases. If anyone has any good algs for I and S, they would be appreciated.

 

[Eli Apperson]

So I did a comp sim ao100 for 2x2 today, and I'm making finals about half the time. I pretty much need a sub 4 avg if I want to be top 12.

 

[Garf]

For T, I use U R’ U’, m2, then U R U'. For S, I use M2 D U R2 U' M' U R2 U' M D' (Note: since S and I are opposites, I is D M' U R2 U' M U R2 U' D' M2)

 

[Eli Apperson]

For T, I use U R’ U’, m2, then U R U'. For S, I use M2 D U R2 U' M' U R2 U' M D' (Note: since S and I are opposites, I is D M' U R2 U' M U R2 U' D' M2)

I meant I and S, not T XD. Thanks for the algs!

 

[Eli Apperson]

About to do some 3Bld attempts!
My goal today is 1 success.

 

[OtterCuber]

So I really do not like OH, so I was wondering, what would be the benefit of learning roux just for OH?

It is the fastest OH method.
