How many solves a day?

[(X)]

How many solves do you do a day? I really wanna get good at cubing, but i realise I am practicing very little, how many solves is recommended to do a day?

lol, its just very simple: the more you train the better you get.

I'm so bad with numbers I don't even want to guess. But honestly, I really can't respond to this because the amount of time I dedicate to cubing has gone down ever since college started.

But I can say that whenever I did practice a lot, I didn't always grind solves. I practiced execution of PLLs, F2L only, doing F2L slow, and doing complete solves slow (but smooth to be as efficient as possible). I'd try stuff like that.

I'm training to get faster too, I normally do about 30-50 solves a day. which is two 10 of 12 averages at home, sometimes more, and about 10 solves at work in between calls. I do an average of 5 on 4x4 and maybe one or two 3x3 blindfold solves.

I should really try other practice methods instead of just solving it. ajmorgan25 has just made me realise this.

I don't count, usually 100, but now less because of work.

Before this thread turns into a "who does the most" challenge, I'm going to recommend you practise at least 2 hours a day for a reasonable benefit. 2 hours might seem like a lot at first, but if you break it up into two 1 hour slots it doesn't sound like as much, and 2 hours will disappear before your eyes.

I am doing just 200-500 solves in a day!
it depends on blind cubing practice time(they are slow)!

thank you for your help

 

[Escher]

anywhere between 12 and 200. i actually spend more time reading about cubing on here than actually doing it!

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

I used to do about 150 solves a day, but it's much less now. Maybe 50

 

[CAT13]

recently... zero

If you want to be like nakajima, that is.

50-100 perhaps?

Scary thought: I've probably done over 1,000,000 turns on Rubik's cubes in the past year or so. Scares me anyway.

Hahaha the total stats on cubing are crazy when you think of them. Like in terms of solves I would guess I'm in the 100,000 range, like....JESUS.

 

[Hepheron]

It really depends, everyone has there own pace of learning, or getting faster. but somewhere between an hour or more of cubing will do it. but make sure you are practicing techniques and the areas that will help you the most.

maybe 100 or so 3x3 solves. about 20 oh solves, 50 2x2 solves, 10 4x4 and 5x5 solves and a few blind solves. mixed in with some screwing around with square 1 and megaminx.

That was really unnecessary. Please refrain from doing that in the future.

Thanks

I thought he meant that Jesus has solved 100,000 cubes so he is like him.

Jesus Christ, what's all the fuss about?

haha, be prepared for the flamage.
