Ota Mota's Progression Thread // Road to Sub-3.5 Ao1000 for ZBLL Recog+Exec

[THE_V01DL0RD]

8:10.36 on 7x7

Got to try out someone else’s 7, think this is halved of my previous PB, so that’s nice, 11x11 practice paid off

what 7x7 you got and tried any ways?
also is sub 8 11x11 a long term goal?

Edit: Not saying I don't believe in your goal. Im just curious cuz you seem to be far. No one said the road would be easy tho, so good luck!
Edit 2: Ermmm...

idk if its updated but still...

I don’t have any 7x7, so I had to borrow someone else’s.

Yes, sub-8 11x11 is a long term goal

It was nice to meet @Isaiah Scott, and @Fred. Talked to Isaiah a few times, and had a few good convos. He is very friendly.
