I'm still struggling to get sub-3, with a PB of 2:34 ... Then again if I practiced more 5x5 I may find my times getting better
Well done on the OH OLL ... I'm probably only through about half of them and feeling frustrated with doing 2Look OLL most of the time. Although my best ao100 is sitting at 31.51 even with having to do 2Look OLL a lot of the time. I've found my biggest time improvement lately has come from doing cross better and doing more look-ahead on F2L.

Today I graduated from the Race to Sub-25
Also thought I'd update my current PBs:
single: 14.20, ao5: 18.43, ao12: 19.73, ao50: 21.05
Nice. Next step - go to the comps.

Can you guys tell me what is your opinion about 6x6 weishi and wuhua, maybe G6. I want to change my yuxin and wander which one should I order.

I went with the QiYi WuHua ... I also have a Moyu Aoshi, but for me the QiYi is much ... much better. Don't have the other 2 you mentioned, but I think that QiYi have done a great job with their larger cubes.

Same me. My Wuhua out of box was a little crappy. But now it's ok. I also had in hands Wuhua with spring swap (I dont remember what kind of springs it was) and it felt much better.

Finally went sub 60 on a50 and a100 (was my next goal). Also seem to go sub 50 more often then before. Guess i just need to practice allot more. So next goal (let's get cocky) is sub 45 on a5 and a12. Still need allot of progress on my F2L

Sorry to be a bit late for advice but I have both the Wuhua and Yuxin and I prefer the Yuxin... it's my only non-Wu main of all the biggies as I use the WuQue, WuShuang and WuJi. I think it is because of the size (I like smaller puzzles).
Regarding my first impressions on the GTS2M, which arrived like 3-4 days ago, I have to say I like it a lot but not sure I like it more than the Valk3 without magnets. It's more stable than the GTS2, that's for sure, and it's easier to turn accurately but it's also a bit less fluid than the GTS2 so algs are slower but I mess up less frequently. As a result I get less super-good times but much more consistent ones. I got a new PB Ao50 of 17.79 but that's just 0.02 of a second better than what I got one week ago with the Valk3. Not crazy good but with 90% solves sub-20. Best solve for now with the GTS2 is a 13.02 full step (could have been all time PB had I been lucky enough to get a PLL skip on that solve).

Mo100 PB: 18.771 (it was 18.872 from 7 weeks ago)
It was going slightly better than that, 85 solves at 18.5 until I DNF one

MBLD practice for me too this week. I find I struggle to improve at multiple BLD events simultaneously. If I work on MBLD I get worse at 4BLD and 3BLD, etc.

Wow, nice one @mark49152 and @muchacho!
I can't find motivation myself to do multi and is by far my worst BLD event, I've been practicing a bit of 4 and 5BLD though. I'd like to shave like 25% of my official times for worlds, let's hope I can keep practicing

A much belated hello to my fellow older cubing brethren. Apologies I have not been as active recently. Life and work have been manic. Still cubing although having to fit it around work.
Some great progress all. Well done @mark49152 at taking >40s 2nd place at 5x5. Awesome stuff matey.
Been doing quite a bit of 6x6 practice and this PB single and mean gives me hope for the aggressive mean cut at London Open in July:-
3:33.93, 3:26.02, 3:09.49 = 3:23.15
Last comp was December in Birmingham so really looking forward to London.
