Nice one! I'm starting to think this is "PetrusQuber and ObscureCuber's Quest to be sub 8 Petrus" :p\
@PetrusQuber mind if I join? I have my month of Petrus too, I also want to extend the month.

Sure, you guys can document your progress here too :), if you want you can create a main post and copy the link to it. Click on the time of a post, then copy the URL like I did with the post above https://www.speedsolving.com/thread...rus-pb-ao5-finally.75285/page-38#post-1384302

Thanks!
My expansion is kinda not efficient and I got blockbuilding down like I average 18 now, what should I improve at?
my strengths:
LL, F2L, Blockbuilding

my weakness:
expansion
EO
being efficient
I'm also trying to implement T ZBLLs into my solves cause I'm done with that set.


Umm I don't know what my main post going to be xD
 
It would be helpful to see some splits too (do 2x2x2, then 2x2x2 + 2x2x3, etc. Then you can work out more average splits by taking away the other steps’ average). For EO, just do some solves, it will become natural. You should know all 2 bad edge cases.
Being efficient, do some FMC style solves, and slow solves at a couple TPS, which gives you the opportunity to look around for better solutions. Have a look at example solves too, watch Tao Yu’s videos, etc. And figure out your own blockbuilding cases.
For expansion... Practise expansion. Plan out 2x2x2 so you can easily lookahead into expansion, and make sure it’s in the back so you can see all expansion pieces.

Ok, here are my rough splits

3.92 (2x2x2), 8.60 (expansion rip), 2.17 (EO), 2.48 (F2L), 2.53(LL)

my expansion is really bad and EO is suboptimal oof

Your 222 is very bad too. There is no reason for it to not be at least sub-2.

I timed my splits too and EO, F2L and LL is roughly 8.6 (2.75+2.86+3.00) which is more than 1.4s slower.
However my 223 is around 4.2 (1.39+2.77) and that is why I am >7s faster than you.

223 is your weakest step and that's what you should practice. I you can get it down to something that isn't completely terrible (sub5?) then you're on a good way.

Wait his 2x2x2 is bad? I’m sub 14 and my 2x2x2 is just sub 2...
But yeah you really need to work on 2x2x3.
Your F2L is surprisingly fast for your average though, as is LL
 
Did some splits, varying performance.
2x2x2: 1.693
2x2x3: 3.010
EO: 1.725
F2L: 3.351
LL: 3.427

Total (this is NOT a step lol): 13.206
I think my expansion has become a lot better, so I’ll keep passively working on that, but man, my EO is getting worse every split I take :p. Not really sure why, I guess it’s a lot more luckbased than a normal step since you can have either 2,4, or 6 bad edges, and the amount you get will decrease/increase your overall time. I need to learn all the EO cases soon anyway, so I’ll do that.
Plus my F2L could do with some help, it fluctuates a lot and isn’t that great. I never really spent much time on F2L, I just sort of gradually built up a basic technique over time, so I’ll look at that too.
My solves are still pretty inconsistent for some reason, I randomly get 11s to 15s frequently, which balance out, but I kind of want to be able to always get a solid 13 second solve... It’s really varying whether I get good cases, figure out efficient solutions, spam TPS correctly, etc, or get bad cases, do rushed bad solutions, and spam TPS in the wrong places/go too slow. So yeah.
 
WTF another PB Ao5!!!

I don’t know how... The solves felt so fluid, and I managed to get some decent TPS too :O I’m really happy with this. (10% battery lol)
I might try reconstruct this.
 
Also Quest for sub 8 Petrus
I started Petrus months ago when i had just hit sub 20 with Roux and CFOP and got to averaging around 23 seconds,
as i just wanted to know the fundamentals of the method.
A couple weeks ago i picked up Petrus again after seeing this thread (=
At the time i relearned EO and started learning more COLLs
I have since got my Average down to low 15- high 14.
I will Start With Week 1 On the First.

My Quest for Sub 8 Petrus

I think i did all of that correctly... Please tell me if i did something incorrect (=

Progress:
Started the method learned Most of COLL Got average down from 21-15
