Eli Apperson's progression thread

Well well well, I'm switching methods.
I've been playing around with Nautilus, and have really been enjoying it. It is similar enough to CFOP that I'm not super slow, but also has a lot of new elements to learn, keeping it from being boring. This isn't going to be a permanent switch,(at least I don't think so) but it is used to reignite my interest in 3x3, as well as improve my blockbuilding abilities.
I'll also continue grinding 4x4 and 5x5.

Which variant do you plan on using?
 
Working on mostly 5x5 this week, but I'll still be doing some 3x3
My next comp is in July, and here are my goals to reach by then:
2x2: Don't care that much, but I will fix my CLL algs and grind to sub 3.
3x3: I want to be averaging low 10/sub10 by the comp.
4x4: I want to have a low 40/sub 40 average
5x5: Somewhere in the range of 1:00-1:10
Pyraminx: Just sub 5
 
Continuing the 5x5 grind, averaging low 1:30's now.
I'm going to try to start working on individual portions of my solves.
Goals:
First 2 Centers: 10
Next 2 Centers: 10
Cross Edges: 15
Last 2 Centers: 8
Pair F2L Edges: 10
Solve Back slots: 5
L4E: 10
Finish F2L, Pairity and LL: 10

Never thought I'd be saying this.

I'm switching to the X-MAN Ambition. I got it, cleaned out the terrible qiyi lube and set it up, and have been breaking it in. Already I'm getting my average times, and it still isn't fully broken in. I expect it to only get better.
Here's a nice Ao5 I got on it:
