Time barriers

[Unknown.soul]

Currently I am trying to get sub-30. I am at the point where I need to learn more algorithms (no I don't know full PLL yet, (11/21 ) I have to focus on school)

No you're not. I used 2-look oll and pll to get sub-25 averages.

45(mostly due to lack of practice and because I quit cubing for almost a month),27(hope to break this,once I start practising seriously).

just 60 and 30 so far

I got down to about 55 seconds, then I got stuck until I learned Fridrich f2l and 2 look OLL/PLL. That got me down to about 40 second averages, and I got stuck again. So I learned full PLL. Now I am down to about 30 second averages, for the past 4 or 5 days. But it feels like I'm stuck. I think that it will not be long until I start getting more sub-30 averages though. And I am going to start learning full OLL, so that might give me a time boost.

So: 55, 40, 30.

Don't start full OLL now, you should at least get to the low20s before starting with 1 look OLL

Why should I wait until then? If I wait I may lose any interest in it.

been on a 15 barrier forever (6 months). its just impossible to break

 

[rachmaninovian]

60
50
40
30
25
23
21
20
18
16
15

Yeah..a barrier lasts for AT LEAST a week or so; I was at 30s for about 3 weeks

The sub-20 barrier took probably 5 weeks for me. A barrier takes at least 2 weeks in my opinion. If we go by the definition of 1 week, then:

60
50
45
40
30
25
20
17

The greatest time barrier I ever had was the 55 second barrier. Then, I worked less on OLL and PLL and more on F2L and making the cross so now I broke it. Hooray!

 

[Cloud_9ine]

80, 60, 55, now im at 50.

40, 25, 20, 18, 15

50, 45, 40, 30, 20... (singles)

Averages:
45, 40, 30, 25. (stuck, can't even break sub-27...!!!)

I've been stuck at around 25 since TOW last March. So 4 weeks for me.

I hope to improve lookahead and F2L before the next week is out, or I'm doomed to be stuck!! T_T

You aren't avg'ing 25 if your best avg of 5 is 27.xx

 

[Vulosity]

I ran into the many barriers other people had. I'm now stuck at the 16 second barrier.

 

[Sa967St]

Don't start full OLL now, you should at least get to the low20s before starting with 1 look OLL

why not? I knew full OLL when I was averaging 28 or so.

average barriers: 40, 30, 28, 24, 21, 19, 17, 15, 13
single barriers: 35, 25, 18, 15, 13, 11, 9

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

sub-1 on 4x4...sub-2 on 5x5...

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Sub 22 on 3x3x3 right now...
Whenever I do better for a day, my times go right back up the next day
