"Non-superstitious" ways of luck/getting faster times before/during your comp

my friend puts her cube into checkerboard before each solve (the warmup cube, not the actual one she's solving ofc)


I honestly don't do anything I just say ready as soon as the cube arrives at the table. For some reason my comp times are way better than my times at home, maybe because I'm fully concentrated in the competition setting? I don't know

Meet friends, practice, and drink caffeine

I personally find that caffeine makes me more nervous and i think about like 43 quintillion things at once (specifically toward my podium chances and PR potential)

I would say that you should only drink caffeine if you didn’t get enough sleep

 

[ikindalikeclock]

i also look over my one-look 3x3 algs, all 43 quintillion of them

get advice from soursh deshpande (anything that is nit cubing related) so you become netally abdorbed in thought

tbh i also pray and realize that i am entitled to do my work, not its fruit. ill do my best, but i am not attached to the average ifyk what i mean. ah the bhagvad gita explains it better than i do.

Stare into the Air while reciting the Numbers 55695131258025 in your head. This isn’t superstious because gaining focus is proven to work

creatine guys trust

[Powstick]

Eat a vada pav before your blind solve

Eat a vada pav before your blind solve

What is a vada pav?

 

[Swagrid]

I don't talk about my average while it's still in progress.

What is a vada pav?

Indian burger,
much more tastier, spicer and popular yo

 

[MrCubert]

Think of each solve as separate from one another. Don't let a bad average ruin a good single.
