What's after old pochman?

1. Improve your memo - anything more than a minute means you've got some room to improve!
2. M2 is the next step up from Old Pochmann, but don't worry about it too much.

You can edit your posts. Just sayin'

You can also get decent solves using just Old Pochmann, but the next step would probably be to learn M2 for edges. People (such as Eric Limeback) have been able to get sub-1 using M2/OP. I personally use 3OP for corners as well, because I just find it easier to memo. (And slightly faster)
 
You got alot of answers so this is just incase you need more.

I learned all my BLD at Macky's website: cubefreak.net

In my opinion, a good thing in BLD is to learn as much as you can, to allow you to fully evaluate which method apeals most to your style. Some are easy on memo, some on execution.

3OP is a good beginner method but it a looooong memo, and M2/Old pochmann (for corners) is a much quicker memo, but a lil more complexe, but nothing impossible really.

TuRBo is a fairly eaasy concept, you could actually figure that one out on your own, I did, and because of this I can't give you a tutorial link, sorry.

And if you're really hungry, try some BH algs, the corner algs have some easy cases that you could assimilate easily, the is a post on the forum with a full BH corner tutorial, just look for it.


Hope that helped! Good luck. :D
 
You mean enlightened :)

Any tips for speeding up memo? Edges take me 1:40 to 2:30 depending on how horrible the cycles are while corners take about 1:30 to 2:00. So in all, I have a 4 to 4 and a half minute long memo with an execution of 2 to 3 minutes. I'm using old pochmann right now but will switch to turbo in 2 days. (I already know how it works. I get confused with the algs. I just need practice). I use letters for edges and visual for corners. No letter pairs yet. I make up words and sentences on the go. Though I do have certain letters and pairs that have set words.

Like Ryan said just above, it's all practice.

But if this helps: try different memo methods.

Try memoing edges, then corners, then solve corners and edges. I memo in the specific order and I remember dropping 2 to 3 minutes from 4 minutes avg in total, I now take about 1:20 to memo everything. I memo edges, and repeat the sequence once or twice to encrust it in my head, then speed memo my corners, don my blindfold and quickly solve the corners away to go straight to edges.

But practice makes a huge difference.
 
i practice maybe 10 solve a week with m2/op and im not even sub 3. ive been practicing bld for about 8 or 9 months.
