Journey to sub 15

Quick question: how long does it normally take to get sub-10

i went to my first comp in september 2018, and in december 2019 i got my first sub 10 avg
so an improvement of 39 seconds to 8.57 seconds in around a year

It took Lazero0Monkey about a 1 1/2 years to be sub-10, and It took me DNF time to be sub-10

Depends on how much practise time and effort you put in. No joke, I bet I could be sub 10 in a few months and a bit if I skipped school, practise everything like crazy, learn full ZBLL, 12 a day, plan 2x2x3 in inspection, cube almost 24/7, etc. But nobody will do that.

12 ZBLLs muscle memory a day? And go from where you are to full 2x2x3 that quick? It took even Tao Yu 2 months to learn ZBLL

If I spam cubing 24/7, yes.

You couldn't cube 24/7, your performance level would go down drastically after not sleeping for that long

Hypothetically then, maybe not 24/7. Plus ZBLL may be an overstatement.

My point wasn’t to accurately say how long it would take for me to get sub 10, it was to show that everybody gets to sub 10 at different rates, depending on their dedication to cubing. Somebody who does a few solves every day might never get to sub 10. Somebody who spends maybe half an hour stackmatting a day may get their in a couple of years. Somebody who cubes several hours a day, effectively practising, covering weak spots, will get there much much faster. That’s all I wanted to say. I accept I might be wrong. I changed the post to reflect that
