How I should continue?

cyber,
instead of posting 3 posts, you could just edit your post.
some people might consider you as spamming or trying to increase post count.
(Just warning you, cos that's what happened to me before)

i recommend you get a stackmat if possible.
 
yeah...ok maybe it is better then... I know what u 2 are talking about and yeah I would like to get stackmat and DIY cubes also. The only problem is that I dont know how to get them...could u help me out?

ok 25 OLLs learned in 2 days...

Ps. I combine all my earlier messages as one if there is more than 1 in row...

Hee cyber, I watched your youtube video and it's a pretty nice solve after 6 weeks. Maybe you should train you look-forward? because sometimes you stop cubing to watch your cube ;).
Stackmats can be ordered from different sites, like cube4you.com
 
Yeah but Im so shocked ith all those cubes in the sides and payments and so on...
Anyway, I need to look ahead during cubing...I know it and it is still problem. It will change after training for a while again.
 
I spent about a week compiling OLL and PLL algorithms from at least 5 different sites. I think I ended up with around 6 algs for each case. All I had to do then was pick the ones with which I was most comfortable and learn them.

The competition timer looks expensive from cube4you. I suggest

and more specifically,
http://www.speedstacks.com/store/us/Timer.php
A nice case is included with the timer. If you want a mat too, try

I went a bit too far and got the silly cups and a video. (Their site navigation from the home page is bad.)

What else haven't you mastered? A smooth F2L? Fast recognition on the LL? Maybe if not it's high time for you to start making creamy-smooth f2l's and getting used to all cases of PLL's and recognize them quickly after executing your OLL. Usually in around 2 weeks you can make your recognition time about 2-3 seconds, well maybe that's how I did it. Have you used a metronome for your f2l? It will help you to keep yourself from stopping and continuing with another pair after you've just finished your current pair.

I can see myself in you. Every week last may I lose 3 seconds off my average. In a month I reached sub 28 from sub 45, I really think you have the potential to reach sub 20 in as much as a little more than 2 months if you practice very hard.
 
Thx :) Good sites...
I have learned 26/57 OLL algs and I can do them without long delay :P So 31 to go :]
Metronome O.o What do u mean by that? Anyway...Im trying to reach sub 20sec as fast as possible...
Im trying to learn all OLLs in max 2 week and recognize them fast! Then I thing I have full potential of friedrich method except those F2L special cases. Then it is time to work with F2L! Especially look ahead and maybe metronome. What does it means again?
 
when you are doing f2l, set a metronome (online or whatever) to 2-4 beats per second, then do a turn for each beat. if you have a 65 move solve, possibly 25 of those being LL, and say your last layer is around 8s, then the next 12s in 40 moves would be about 3-4.
sorry thats very garbled, im tired, but basically my point is if you get a smooth, fast and steady f2l then you can quite easily get sub-20, and a metronome can give you an idea of the turns per second.
 
Thx that may help me to avarage sub 20sec :)

Today it is time to learn 5-10 new algs :)

Noticed after 3 days camp that It is not even hard to get sub 33 sec avarage...for me :P

Now it is time to go and learn those algs :P

Nice job dude! It is not hard to get sub 15sec avarages after some practice xD Go and learn those algs :P
 
9 days and I should be sub 27sec avarage :P
34 OLL learned... 23 to go =]
 
Yesterday total avarage(72 solves) was sub 33sec and I did 6 times 10/12 avarages! Why? :)

Greetings again :P

Today I make my first sub 30sec avarage 10/12 :P

Times was:
27.92, 29.81, 28.06, (23.55), 31.62, 25.44,
(36.84), 33.95, 29.91, 25.06, 28.69, 32.62

And avarage was 29.31 so that is my new record n_n

That happened in 48 days but now I think that my avarage is not gonna drop much until I have learned all OLLs fast...
So it gonna be around 9 weeks from start(~2 month!)!
 
U gonna learn all algs in 2-3 days for now I think and identify will hapend fast, delay will be normal in less than 1 week after that cause u practice a lot situations in day! After it maybe even sub 25sec avarage is possible for u with a bit luck... Then go for sub 20 :)
 
Ok, 7 week gone and here is my progress during those weeks!

1 week record 74sec Avarage 83sec
2 week record 58sec Avarage 65sec
3 week record 46sec Avarage 58sec
4 week record 43sec Avarage 54sec
5 week record 30sec Avarage 37sec
6 week record 22.30 Avarage 32.63
7 week record 22.30 Avarage 29.31
 
4 week record 43sec Avarage 54sec
5 week record 30sec Avarage 37sec
this is an awesome progress - could you explain the reason for this improvement? Cause I'm stuck somehow at~52sec avg and dont know how to improve especially F2l^^
