No longer addicted...

[Lofty]

Hello all its been awhile since I have been on here or in the chat due to the fact that I am no longer addicted to the cube... I've been getting back into it tho so mainly came on here to say I have broken the 30 barrier for my OH yay! 28.81 for my personal best and I now average like 35 seconds OH. Once I learn all the algs and are able do a 2LLL instead of a 3LLL I think my times will go down a lot. Hopefull when I'm in college and living on campus I will find someone to cube with... memorizing is just so boring I would rather sit here and solve over and over till my hand is too tired... idk how you can do avgs of 100 my hand gets tired after like 30...
When you guys wake up in the morning does your OH cubing hand feel all tight and stiff? Its like working out only its just my hand lol...
Sorry for the long random post lol...

Cool. My best is 29.xx and I avg around 38 seconds when I am warmed up. I use a 4-5LLL on avg. My F2L is avg'd around 22 seconds. If I could use 2LLL, I'd be sub-30 or right above 30 seconds, possibly. I am not too dedicated to OH since I waste so many moves on the LL. I will sit down and learn 2LLL sometime and then really get into it. Where are you going to college, BTW?

I'll be going to UF, be a gator w00t w00t.
Yea I avg about 20 seconds f2l but my frequency of times around 16 has been increasing. I basically just orient my corners then my edges (using M's unfortunately) then i know the 21 permutations... I only know the ones from speedcubing.com I've a little of my own cube rotations but some of it is kinda awkward.
OH is about all I do. My SS average is only like 30 seconds so not that much faster lol. Pretty soon I am expecting them to be the same, especially since when I learn a new alg I always learn it using only one hand.

damn, my F2L takes about 33...with OH

ok I need to change the title I am back to being addicted. But my hand is getting tired because of the break i took made it lax and unable to cube for long periods of time days in a row.
But i just got an avg of 36.66 with a couple sub 30 solves in there. Man I love OH. And there is so much room for improvement. I don't think myself stuck against an impenetrable time wall like I have before. My f2l could get a lot more fluent and I can still finish learning the algs and optimizing them for OH... maybe another week or two and I can average sub 30 hopefully

my hand was really tired the other day, but suddenly today, my hand works great and I avged 36, which I don't usually do (I actually think that's a new PB for me). My F2L is still stuck in the 20's... Lol I use 2LLL (95% of the time) but I still get in the 40's sometimes.

I need to re-memorize the OLLs I've forgetten and make my F2L more fluent, though I am getting better at that.
