How much do you practice?

How much do you practice speed solving per day? Minutes, solves? Type of cubes?

Usually I shoot for an average of 100 in an event I'm good at, averages of 5/12 in events I don't do often, or both. I also solve (in terms of style and puzzle) based on: if I get a new cube(s), if I'm learning/practicing something (like an alg set), if there's an upcoming competition, or if I want to break a PB that I know can be broken with some time.

For example, when I got my QiYi WuQue, I did 3 averages of 100 (which were progressively better) over the course of a few days, breaking at least my Ao100 every time, and making me loads better at 4x4.
I'm now practicing to break my Ao100 on 3x3, too, so I've been doing at least one average of 100 (if not two) every day.

How about yourself?

I practice with whatever free time I have at school, usually around an hour, sometimes half an hour, and sometimes two hours.

Forum weekly comps, and a little more. Doing untimed ZZ solves, too, when I just want something to do with my hands. Someday that will be my main 3x3 method.

On a busy day I'll probably do about half an hour... Ive done 12 hours some times hehe
I guess I do about 1-2 hours in average every day

Gosh, you guys practice a lot!! I don't count how many solves I do per day, but I'd say maybe 75-100 on the 3x3x3 and 50 or so on kilominx. I don't do my pyraminx that often. Maybe I'll count/time tomorrow.

Here's a poll I did about how long people solve: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/poll-how-long-do-you-practice.63220/

Hehe yup... but I can defenetly see a big improvement (.5 faster on OH in 2 days )
Why kilominx ? I've never found it funny

 

[greentgoatgal]

Well, those are the only three cubes I have so far

 

[TheoLyh]

I would highly recommend trying some big cubes (or something different)

I probably practice around 30 minutes to an hour on school days, and probably more like 2 to 3.5 hours on weekends and other free days.

When I do practise, I'll usually do an Ao100+ but this is happening less and less frequently so I probably average 10-20 minutes a day depending on my mood.

I'm using a 3x3 speedcube and I practice about 1 or 2 hours per day. (about 40 solves + learning the algorithms, my current average is about 75 seconds per solve.)
