This will be my progression thread. I average 16-18 seconds on 3*3 cube, and other events that I enjoy but am not so good at are 5*5 and megaminx. My PB single for 3*3 10.35, and I hope to beat the sub-10 barrier in singles soon. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could get sub-15 I would appreciate it a lot
 
Nice that you are starting a progression thread. To help you on your sub-10 goal, it would be helpful to know what you have learned already. I assume you know full PLL, but what about advanced F2L? Full OLL? That info would be helpful to give some tips. Good luck on your goals!
 
Haha :P

As for what you have learned so far, I would recommend learning more of the advanced F2L algs, as full OLL is less necessary right now. I wouldn't recommend working on more color neutral, but I would recommend lookahead, if you know what that is, as it really helps shave a few seconds off your solves.
 
It seems to be going well! I just got this crazy good PR ao12 of 15.64 seconds!
I got loads of 14's, which is nice. I don't know if this is thanks to lookahead or luck though.

Yeah, lookahead has helped me a lot. I have done an ao50 of 16.9 seconds, which is significantly faster than last week. I have noticed however, that my times have started of very well, and gradually got worse and worse, so it was a struggle to keep the mean under the 17-second barrier. I will carry on doing this to get more used to turning slower, and actively focus on the solves I am solving, as there were a few distractions distracting me.

So I just put a few drops of lube into my YJ Yulong, and the results are great. My times have dropped by around a second immediately, andI haven't even broken it in! I am averaging now 15-16 seconds and the sub-15 barrier is very close now!
