General Speedcubing Question.

[bloxy5cuber]

Okay, I know I've been posting in this section for quite a while now, but I AM STRUGGLING on cross and Cubehead + JPerm aren't helping either. While I practice, I know that I need to put the cross on the bottom. Also, I've been getting SLOW times, like 44 secs? REALLY? My hands have been quite weak and I love to cube right when I get home, so like idk? I practice everyday, but I've been getting frustrated on most of my solves... starting to feel like I hate cubing, but we all know you can NEVER hate cubing. What do I do? Do I rest? Do I keep practicing?

:/

questions:
how many moves are your cross?
can you plan all of your cross in inspection?

If you aren’t enjoying cubing, then don’t do it. It will only cause you to go into a downward spiral and completely ruin the hobby for you. Take a break and come back. Also weak hands kinda sounds concerning, does it hurt when you cube?

Hmmm... I don't track how many moves I do in cross. I only plan half of my cross during inspection, and it does not hurt when I cube. I've only been frustrated because my cube has been having lock-ups, but it doesn't normally do that... idk Abt the weak hands. I'll just take a break ig. Thx for tips!

Idk how you work as a person, but I just gonna explain how my goofy ah brain works out the cross.

I find a white edge and see how it can be solved to the bottom (1-2 moves max, no matter what, its math),

Then I find another white edge and see if it can be orientated to be able to be incerted with an L or R' or F/F'

Using D moves I put those two into the correct spot on the white face and repeated the process for the last two.


Ik that this isn't the best way to do it, but this is where I was around 27sec average. Now I'm working on double colour neutral x-cross.

I think having a break once in a while isnt bad

Yeah taking a break for a few weeks is a good idea so you don't burn out, it can be hard to improve sometimes, (my cross is also pretty bad) if you want to cube just do a few solves a day. Keep cubing

Thank you everyone! I took an 2 day break, and it really HELPED!

For some reason I find that I peak at Rocket League after I'm sick, something about just chilling and resting really makes me peak.
