Time barriers

[Gparker]

1:00, 40 seconds, 30( but only for a couple of days, when i was at the 32's or something i just did an average of 300 and i broke 30 ), 25, 22, and now im trying to stay consistantly sub 20

I'm at a new time barrier and it's sub 20. I do feel as if I'm progressing but I've been averaging 20-22 seconds for 2 weeks...

I was stuck around 30-35 for the longest time. One day I said to myself, "this is it. Today I am going to break the 30s barrier."

I did an average of 100 and got 28 or 29 seconds. Best feeling ever. I usually average around 27 now, I get a lot of sub-25s and I had a really good sub-25 streak in which I got my PB average of 5 and my PB average of 12.

I feel my times fluctuate wildly though. Whenever I'm just downright focused, I get many 23-26s, but if I just picked up the cube for the day, my first RA of 5 or 12 will be around 30+.

I currently feel trapped around 26 or 27. I've been here for maybe a week or two. I want to get consistently sub-25, and eventually sub-20. My ultimate goal is to be sub-15 average of 100. I also want to do one of those cool 2x2-4x4 relays sub-1, but that's just dreaming.

Sub 11 wasn't that hard

the barrier is hard to brake I am now at 28 sec. avg some times when I have a good day I get sub 25 I know all the PLL so the next step is to learn all the OLL
and to improve my F2L

hey, I break the 25sec barrier with heise
and now its really hard to break the 15sec barrier

I just kinda broke a barrier the other day. I had been stuck at around 40 seconds for almost a week, and then one day it dropped down to 36.

 

[SnappleXXL]

Well I'm at a barrier now of 50. But I hit 60 pretty hard it took a few months to break it.

wut? Isn't everyone always stuck at a barrier no matter what time they are at?

huh? I don't get it.

I'm now at 25 time barrier

Everyone is always at a 'barrier'. If I average 15.5 seconds, then my 'time barrier' is 15.5 seconds, until I break 15.5 seconds. All time barriers should be harder to break when they are lower. I don't quite see how some people think that it was harder to break something like a 50 seconds barrier than any barrier less than 50 seconds.

Well a barrier is pretty much anything that lasts more than a week or so, for instance, I can't seem to break 40 and I've been stuck for about 2 weeks. When I do break it though, that does not mean I'm at a 35 second barrier or anything, it's until your stuck at a point for about a week or more.

oh, I get it, yes I agree..
now I'm stuck at 15sec, although I break it to 15sec with heise and it was really luck that time, with a lot of skip, like the block building

When I posted 10 days ago, I thought I was stuck at a barrier of 27. That changed very quickly. I think we're all always slowly improving up to a certain point (probably somewhere around sub-11).

 

[ajmorgan25]

20 was the biggest barrier. After I passed that, the next few went by very quickly. Now, the barrier is sub 15.

I'll have to agree with that. I've been in the 20s forever.

 

[mcciff2112]

sub 20 average, until I broke that about 5 mintues ago

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Last barrier I hit was breaking 30s. I was at about 32-34s avg and was very happy when I broke that. Now my avg is 22.10, and I'm really struggling to break it. I'm pretty sure I've hit a barrier

 

[daeyoungyoon]

I'm still at like 30......I can get mid 20s every few solves or so but when I try to time myself doing a avg of 5 or 12 I mess up so badly...

 

[jodeman2]

for about the last month I've been stuck fairly close to a 50 second average on my overall sessions (I don't know why, but a session to me is 35 solves). My PB of 12 is sitting at 42.55 secs and that has seemed to have been dropping as of late, with my PB single solve being 33.59 (I had one that was 32.?? today but I was using a different timer that might of thrown me off a little bit).

Like I said though I've been stuck at this point now for about a month.
