M2M Day 68: One hundred solves in a row
This post is part of Month to Master, a 12-month accelerated learning project. For January, my goal is to solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 20 seconds.
Today, I solved the Rubik’s Cube 100 times, which took about 2 hours (with a few breaks).
I started with 20 Forced Rotationless Solves, which helped improve my muscle memory for maneuvers in less common orientations.
Then, I executed 30 solves to a metronome at 100 BPM, which helped improve my look-ahead.
Finally, I completed 50 regular speed solves to put the pieces together (literally, I guess).
Adding algorithms to my training
Over the past few days, I’ve only been training the first part of my Rubik’s Cube solve, ignoring the second, algorithms-based part.
Now that the exercises to train the “first part” are well-defined, it’s time to start addressing new algorithms as part of my training regime.
I’m not sure if I can learn all the remaining algorithms in the next three weeks, so tomorrow, I’ll figure out which ones to focus on.
