Fastest and slowest right after each other, was a weird round. Imporvement is Improvement though :) Although that said my last round was a bad one for me.
EDIT: I really should warm up before competing, got a 34.75 10/12 today. Note to self, do self justice.

On the 38 and 39-solve I messed up and became unfocused. But overall it felt decent. At least an improvement.

Those first two times! neat! It turns out that 15 seconds isn't as long as I though :) Hopefully better things will happen for me next week... yay practicing!

edit: How do I put my best and worst times in colors? I couldnt find the button in the reply window thingy...

I have graduated from this thread, but I was wondering If I could join with a 4x4 scrambled as a 3x3 since I have been getting into 4x4.

lol, should've warmed up. Got really good at the end, where I was more-or-less warmed up.
Also, it appears I've technically graduated. I'll still post averages, though, as I feel I'm still not really sub-30, if that's okay.

nice times - I wish I could do that 2-handed! lol

Thanks.
Speed usually just comes with time and practice, and finding a method suitable for you (most seem to like CFOP), plus finding handy algorithms.

Do you still use beginners or CFOP? If beginners, I suggest learning CFOP. If CFOP, I suggest learning some 1LPLL and practice, practice, practice. I find most 'barriers' are broken sub-consciously if you keep practising, and no worrying too much.

I didnt warm up that much, but my averages are going down each round so I am still happy

I use beginners when timing myself and I'm working on intuitive F2L (for CFOP). I'm thinking when my intuitive F2L times are about the same as beginners F2L, then I"ll start timing with intuitive F2L instead. thx for the note on the barriers/not worrying. I think that's what I do too much is worry/wonder if I'm practising right and I need to just trust myself and practisepractisepractise!

Hi all, I would like to join this thread if that's OK.

Round 69: 3x3, speed
CFOP, 2-look OLL and 18/21 PLL
Black Zhanchi, 40kwt diff oil

39.62
46.50
44.71 (2 look PLL)
39.55
57.39
50.88 (2 look PLL)
39.74
40.51
55.35
36.42
46.57
37.07

average 44.05

Not bad, probably representative of where I am atm but I messed up the cross 4 times which is...not good. Although I did five warm-up solves and got a full-step 29.47 which is my first ever sub-30 so I know I'm on the right track. Gotta get used to the pressure now I know I'm going to be publishing my results!

This week going to work on: cross, lookahead, getting those PLLs I know nailed down. I’ve also been messing about with a bit of blockbuilding to try and improve my F2L.
