getting from sub 50 to early 30's???

[noobcuber]

I started out averaging 1 minute 30 and now average 48 with a P.B of 41 seconds after an extra week of work.
I do

1. Cross (5-10 seconds)
2. F2L ( 25 seconds) ( haven't got the whole looking ahead thing down yet)
3. 2 look OLL (5 seconds)
4. 9/21 PLL algs (5-10 seconds)

My progress has some what stalled

Anyone??? From your personal experiences what steps did you guys take from where I am to get faster.

AND ALSO:
When you look ahead do you track a corner and an edge at the same time because I can only track a corner or an edge not both at ther same time??

I think you're still able to delete the other post.

One word, Practice.

When your practicing find 2 F2L pairs close your eyes and try to put them both in (It doesn't matter how long it takes). Once you've mastered this your look-ahead should be much better.

So you have to put in two pairs whilts your eyes are closed (close your eyes after you have paired up one pair and then slot it and do the other pair)????

That's an interesting tip, thanks. I think I can start out by finding a single pair and try to put it in with eyes closed and then move on to two pairs.

Go ahead and learn the rest off the PLLs. Also work on finger tricks, they will improve you more than you'd think. But, the most important thing is to just practice.

learn everything off by heart (for F2L mostly) then while you are doing your, should be, intuitive F2L look at another piece, its orientation and where its other pieces is.
