4x4x4 reduction (3x3 phase) no inspection

still many lockups..i dont see much improvement from this point. look ahead=almost perfect but my execution is too slow due to the crap cube

Round 55 (one-handed) Decided to join because I got a sub-20 avg50 yesterday.

21.27, (24.99), 17.41, 19.64, (15.04), 19.30, 18.33, 17.12, 22.60, 24.86, 19.20, 16.14 = 19.59

Yessss :D A good average, even with the counting 24! :D All solves were non-lucky :) Happy to graduate for this round!

EDIT: I actually rolled the first 2 solves and got an 18.42 avg12 :D (PB by 0.01) :tu

This was actually pretty good for me. I have to admit, though, I'm starting to feel a little discouraged; all my recent improvements are starting to get comfortable in my solves, and yet I don't really see any improvement in my times at all. It seems like nothing I do is helping. It seems like I just don't know how to get any better. Why is it so easy to improve at BLD solving, but so very hard to improve at speedsolving?

Well, consider the amount of interest you have in 3x3 vs. the amount of interest that you have in BLD.

I know this is going to sound very 'noobish' but, how do I find out what sub I am? Would appreciate a quick answer:)

Well, if you are above 20s but below 30s in average, then you would belong in the race to sub 20, if you are above 30s, then the race to sub 30, if you are below 20 and not yet below 15, then the race to sub 15.
