Behold my new ao5!
This is my best two handed average ever.
I have 9 sub 15 averages now!

Woah...I had no idea I was almost sub14 consistently. Stupid 15.04. Oh well.
Sad news also...I found out I am no longer sub4 7x7.😭
So here is my PB mo3!
Previously it was 13.99
Now it is 13.64!
 
Thank you!!!!!
How are you so fast at 7x7 :0
my pb ao5 on 3x3 is 10.6 seconds but my 7x7 ao5 pb is 1.5 minutes slower than yours lol

also congrats on the 16 second oh single, that is insanely good
Yeah, I worked hard on 7x7 lol
PB 3x3 solve of the year

Last year was 9.29 tho😔
 
I was not feeling good today.
My Gan v100 is late for arrival.
I am suffering from ongoing sleep deprivation.
I am overall exhausted and tired of everything.
So I was torturing myself with a 3x3 and slow solves.
I was still timing myself.
And then this happened:

Not even 4-5 tps.
I was aiming for smoother turning style, like Caleb suggested I do.
Part of his critique to me was my turning style was *very* aggressive.
So I tried for smoother.
It has been 8 months since I got a sub10. And I don't even have 5 sub10 solves...so that is a goal I should go for!
That is my motivation. Show that I can even though it is torture. Show that I can even though I hurt. Show that I can because I have a reputation to defend. And I will not back down. I will not give up. I will not quit. Behold the motivation of...Jared Burkhart!
 
Caleb done me good.
I was increasing my tps today, while focusing on keeping my turning style smooth.
And I beat my mo3 and ao5 by a bit!
My previous mo3 was 13.64 and ao5 was 14.15.
Now I challenge @Caleb Valenzuela to try these scrambles for my new mo3 (13.34)
And ao5 (14.09)
Caleb (and whoever else tries this) here are the scrambles

I was recording a video today (coming soon) and beat my pb ao5 by a landslide.

Here is my new stat

I had to keep recording, so not much of a reaction, but still, looking back on when I first joined the as forums, (aiming to beat 16.68 ao5) to being sub 14 in less than a year later has shown me that I have not plateaued, and the journey has not stopped yet.
 
Here is the video I made with my record average!
I appreciate any critique you may have to offer, from the solves themselves to the overall video quality. Thank you!
I like the video and nice solves! I’m not really qualified to critique bc I avg 19, but I think you should try to work on predicting cross+1
