These past few weeks I’ve only been doing 3x3. I’ve posted about how i got my pb single down by a second, but that’s not all. I broke everything up to ao1000 except ao5. They were all broken by about a second as well.
Mo3- 12.57
Ao12- 14.18
Ao100- 14.98
Ao1000- 16.27

So i can definitely say I’ve gotten faster. Excited for the future!!

Wow!! It’s been a month since I’ve posted. I’ve had other stuff going on though. So what happened is i broke two of my 3x3s, the only ones that i like, so I’m going to practice 5x5. I’m hoping to get state record. I’ll post more updates soon!!

Update: I fixed one of the 3x3s. I go do 30 solves and i get a pb of 9.42. I also got a 1:45 ao5 on 5x5. This is pb by about 10 seconds. I have mainly just been doing regular solves on that. If anyone has 5x5 tips i would gladly take them. I use yau 5 btw.

Today I’ve gotten two sub three solves which is very interesting. Sometimes I get a sub 3 while the only other times are 3:20s and 3:40s. There is almost in between. I also don’t know how my times can very that much because every solve seems the same, except for the 3:40s when i have bad lookahead. Does anyone have any idea what is happening here?

Ok. I am officially sub-3 on 6x6! I also failed in literally everything at that comp like a month ago, so sadly no record. I have realized though that being that fast at 6x6 is very hard to sustain when I average 15 on 3x3, so I’m going for sub-10. I’ll try to post frequently. Also, I will be practicing big cubes and blind some, but mostly 3x3!

So yesterday, I was left at my dads house for six hours with no internet. Luckily cstimer was working, so I opened up a new session and ended up doing 400 3x3 solves! I got pb in everything, except single. Some notable ones were my sub-14 ao100 and sub-15 ao1000. I added the new session to my normal session after about 300 solves. I’d say that right now, I average just barely sub-15, so I’m going places!

I’ve also been watching some example solves and using cubedb solve critique to help with efficiency. I’ll also probably go replace some of my plls and finish learning oll!
