gsingh's Road to Sub 6

[gsingh]

I'm signed up for 3 comps in September, which will be nice since it'll be almost 3 months since my last comp.

 

[precompsubwr]

September is the 3*3 month, and I bet all the comps have 3 rounds of 3x3

 

[gsingh]

I took a bit of a break from practicing cubing last week, so I didn't really accomplish any of my weekly goals. Because of that, my goals for this week will be the same as last week.

Week 3 Goals:
1 hour of daily 3x3 solves
Finish full U ZBLL
1 hour of cross + 2 practice
1 hour of 4x4 solves
Improve my lookahead on 4x4

 

[gsingh]

4x4 PB average!

Should I learn EG1? (Vote in the poll)
I'm currently in the process of relearning CLL

learn eg1 once you're comfortable with cll, don't pressure yourself to learn too much at once

 

[gsingh]

learn eg1 once you're comfortable with cll, don't pressure yourself to learn too much at once

I will definitely wait until I'm comfortable with CLL again, but I don't think it will take me that long considering that I was already pretty comfortable with the algs before I forgot them

 

[Isaiah Scott]

Keep grinding bro! I check in with this thread for the first time in just 1 week and you have like halved your times

EG-1 is easier than you think, a lot of it's pretty much taking the two pieces out and inserting them in different ways to solve the cube, and many cases are inverses. I learned it in a week

 

[gsingh]

Just one set of U ZBLL left!

So, summer break is pretty much over, which means so is the cubing grind... or is it? (no it's not)

Week 3 Recap:
I finished U ZBLL this week. My recognition isn't that great, but I will be grinding the set to improve.
I also dropped my 4x4 global to comfortably sub 33 this week, which is nice.

Week 4 Goals:
1 hour of 3x3 solves.
1 hour of 4x4 solves.
1-2 hours of deliberate practice (50% ZBLL training and 50% cross + 2 practice)

Hello. @gsingh did not fake this solve. @Cubinginatree thank you for your valuable time.

But we have so much evidence that says otherwise!
