Super Duper Ultra Mega Uber Fridrich Training Outline

[sneaklyfox]

I've put off serious focused training for a long time. I can still see improvement in my times but very very slowly for the past several months so maybe it's about time I went about it in a more organized fashion. I don't know if I have time to do exactly as you suggested in your post, but I will definitely try to target specific areas instead of solving mindlessly. Thanks!

If faz always had sub 1 cross and sub 3 F2L he would be averaging 6 pretty easily.

True. I would use this but my parents want me to spend 20 minutes a day cubing, tops.

Why do you care?

About what? They threaten to smash my cubes!

Wow, that sounds like lousy parents

Only about cubing. They aren't happy when I practice.

That means they're lousy parents.

When you say 200 BLD crosses everyday is that 200 BLD cross attempts or successes?

200 BLD successes. When I do BLD crosses I generally get most successes anyway.

Will start by tomorrow, looking forward to this madness! Going to be hard to fit with my schedule though :'

Tree fiddy that you won't make it through one month.

Haha, hope I will prove you wrong!

Well I hope you don't get sick or somethibng, that'll really mess with you haha

Luckily I haven't gotten sick in 5 years or so... I must be some kind of superhuman

They think it's pointless.

The only problem with this is that it can get in the way of real practice so your transitions will suck. This will require more work than you think.

He says the program should be supplemented by 100 standard solves each day, so I don't think transitions will be a problem. Especially considering the Cross+1 routine.

Overthinking it IMO.

Just cube a lot, have fun, and don't be too focused on improvement. The speed will come eventually. Of course it's always useful to study reconstructions and find better algs/fingertricks.

I would prioritise slow solves, blockbuilding (for x-cross), and F2L tricks over this until your times are quite a lot faster than 20. I'm about 15 and I doubt I'd take this up until I was sub-12.

The LL stuff, yes, but at 15s+ your F2L is still very dodgy.

I'd also suggest to train with another method in slow solves, such as zz or petrus. I did this with ZZ and my times dropped 2seconds (from ~20) in a week. I think a change from your normal method helps you concentrate, forces you to look ahead in different ways and not solve on autopilot, and it gives you new ideas about how to solve the cross and some F2L cases which you might be able to do more efficiently afterwards.

@OP,

Do you think a shortened course could also be somewhat effective? For example instead of spending one month per step spend one or two weeks. I think If I was gonna do this I would do it that way, I also think it will help keep the solve balanced IMO.
