You'll break through those barriers and set yourself new ones, then break those as well. It just takes practice. Things that seem daunting today will one day seem easy with hindsight.Please give me some hope.

Definitely hope. Around a minute is an excellent starting point. Keep working on it, and you’ll be under 40 seconds in no time, then 30, 25, 20, etc. I’ve been at it close to 4 years and average about 28. I’ll get under 20 someday, but not everybody can be Feliks Zemdegs or Max Park, either.I have been watching some tutorials on speedcubing and different methods.
And it all seems a little mind blowing.
Can anyone tell me if when they started speedcubing thought they would never break through barriers.
I solved my cube around 10 times in a row my best time was 49 secs. And slowest was 1:02.
I know it’s very early but is there hope for me. Please give me some hope.
I am still using CFOP.
Thanks.
LOL yes, there's very much hope!I have been watching some tutorials on speedcubing and different methods.

Definitely that’s a good spot for now. I still have a lot of variability. I had the opposite experience regarding “I’ll never...”I have been watching some tutorials on speedcubing and different methods.

what cube do you use ?Wow, I have not received any email notifications for a while, missed all these stories!
Welcome @Boogie dude !
I think we were all there where you are. I started just hoping to finish without looking at algorithm table, then broke 1 min. Started competing & immediately became the oldest (in that competition) and also the slowest - almost every competition for a while. Couple of month later, learned intuitive F2L, broke 50s, learned all PLL, broke 40s. But I'm still around 20s, year and half, I have not broken my official PB average since 2017 June

I did a 10x10 twice, second time in about 1:06, but I’ve never had an 11x11.How many here have solved the 11 x 11 ? I have done it a few times.
Welcome to the club!I think I may have a problem with ordering cubes now.
Anything bigger than 5x5, I quickly get bored.How many here have solved the 11 x 11 ? I have done it a few times.
Aww, centers are my favorite part. With speedsolving, anything smaller than a 5x5x5, I quickly get bored.Anything bigger than 5x5, I quickly get bored.
5x5 is a great puzzle - very well balanced in that it's a good mix of piece types none of which disproportionately dominate the solve.Aww, centers are my favorite part. With speedsolving, anything smaller than a 5x5x5, I quickly get bored.
6x6 is still best. 3x3 stage is too important on anything smaller, 7x7 takes too long and there’s not as much flexibility in centers.5x5 is a great puzzle - very well balanced in that it's a good mix of piece types none of which disproportionately dominate the solve.
6x6 is still good. It adds a little more to 5x5, but centres do start to drag on a bit.6x6 is still best.
Can't ... find ... dislike ... button ...Anything above 6x6 just adds boredom.
