"Practice makes a man perfect".
Everyone knows that but very less amount of people know how to practice.
In speedcubing, if you don't know how to practice well.
Things can get worse as practice is the most important thing for getting faster.
So, in this video we are going to discuss about how to do your practice more efficiently
and effectively as possible.
Hi, everyone. My name is "Muhammad Haris Aamir". I am a Pakistani Speedcuber who averages 12s on Rubik's Cube and i have been speedcubing
for around 2 years.
In one day, i cube around for 2 hours.
In this video, we are going to look at some of the simple changes which you can make in
your practice style to create a drastically large & a mindblowing effect on your solving
times.Before getting started, please tell me in the comments that in your opinion how
much time we should practice cubing in one day.
So, go and comment.
Let's talk about the content for which you have clicked on this video.
First, i will be telling you about the two most fundamental things of an advanced practice
style.
So, let's begin.
The first thing is "Enjoyment".
You should be enjoying cubing if you want to improve and to practice better.
If you are not enjoying cubing, you cannot improve.
In that case, that you are not enjoying cubing.
You can take a break from cubing for about two to three weeks.
I have heard that people returning from their cubing breaks often get an PB average of 5
or PB single.
I don't know why that happens but it happens.
So, enjoying cubing is a fundamental thing for doing a better practice & getting faster
times. Ok.
The second thing is "Composition of your session".
Meaning what your session should consist of.
Your session should consist of an Warm Up Average & Average Of 100.
You may be thinking that why an warm up average ? You may have realized when you start out
your session. Your times are actually slower than your actual average.
Why that happens ??? Because your fingers are'nt warmed up.
As the session gradually goes, your times starts to get better.
So, that's why it is highly recommended to do a warm up average of atleast 25 to maximum
50 solves.
Right.
Now, about average of 100.
Well, how to take an average of 100 ??? Do 100 Solves, and eliminate the top 5 slowest
and the top 5 fastest solves from them and calculate the average by the remaining 90
solves.
Ok.
So, in an advanced practice style.
An warm up average & an average of 100 is must.
For big cubes, you can only take average of 12 & can skip warm up average as it will take
way too many days to just take one average of 100. Ok. Right. So, let's move on to the next topic.
Let's talk about those simple things which you can use to make your practice better.
First, you should know the three types of practices.
So, first i will be telling you about those three types of practices then i will give
you a detailed clarification on how to do them in a better way.
So, let's begin.
The first one is "Stopwatch Practice".
I am not going to explain this one briefly as you already know it properly.
It simply consists of hand scrambling of the cube.
And using a stopwatch to measure the times.
This practice is mostly used by beginners.
This practice type is fine for solvers of average Sub 30 or around that.
But once, you get faster.
You need next level practice for getting faster.
Now, let's talk about the second & third types of practices which are Software Practice and
Stackmat Practice respectively.
The second type of practice ,i.e, Software practice consists of using an online or offline
software either on your phone or laptop.
You can also use your desktop.
For example, cubemania is an online timer which can be used on desktop or laptop.
This practice type is used by all the level of speedcubers.
The third type of practice ,i.e, Stackmat practice is using an stackmat timer and an
online timer to get scrambles from it and to write the times on it to calculate your
averages.
This practice type is used by top level speedcubers and some of the mediocre level speedcubers.
If you also want to do stackmat practice, but you do not have a stackmat timer and you
are not buying as they are expensive.
Then, you can buy YuXin timer.
It is one of the inexpensive timers available in the Cubing market.
Now, let's talk about how to do these practices more efficiently and effectively.
The first thing to note is that you should only be using a laptop & Cstimer.
Cstimer is the best.
If you are using cubemania, you should stop using it as it has less potential.
Although, qq Timer is also good but i think Cstimer has more potential.
If you are also, using a stackmat connect the stackmat with the Cstimer.
Cyotheking has made a complete video on that topic. Watch from there.
I will put a link to that in the description, watch from there so this is the first important
point.
The next important is lighting.
If you are sitting, at a place where lighting is not good enough.
Your solves are going to be really really choppy.
So, sit at a place which has good light and remember, white light, not yellow light.
ok.
Next important thing which you should do is to stop looking at the time while you are
solving.
It is easier said than done.
But it makes you to choke in your solves lot more often.
How to make it easier ???. Well, go to the settings in the Cstimer.
Press the "Timer" button and set the "Timer Update" to none.Now, what you have done here
is that when you press the spacebar button now.
You can see you cannot see the time now.
Although, it is running but you cannot see it.
So, this is also an important thing which you can use to make your practice better.
If you are also using a Stackmat, it's gets much more difficult not to look at your time.
Just try as hard as you can not to look at the stackmat timer while you are solving.
This only comes down to practice.
Ok.
So, this is the third important point.
Another important thing which you can do while you are solving is that you can listen to
something.
It's completely optional but i think it's worth it.Things you can listen to are Podcasts,
Crowd Noise, Motivational Speeches and Songs.Let's talk about what should be listened when ??? Podcasts,
they can be listened anytime.
They are not that much distracting.
Dlsone Podcasts are good.
I will put a link in the description to them.
Now, about crowd noise.
Crowd noise can be listened when there is a competition near you and you want to perform
well in it.
So, you are stimulating a competition like environment at home so that you can practice better.
You should listen to crowd noise.
Now, about motivational speeches.
They can be listened when you are sad, disappointed or demotivated due to your slow progression.
Now, songs.
They are not so ideal but you can listen to them if you want to.
Now, remember one thing, always listen them either on handfrees or headphones.
You should not be listening it on speaker.
Because it will disturb other people.
Ok.
So, this was another important point.
Now, let's have a recap for what we have discussed in this video.
First, we had discussed the two most fundamental things for getting faster.
The first thing was "Enjoyment".
You should be enjoying cubing, if you want to improve.
The second thing was "Composition of your session".
Meaning what your session should consist of.
Your session should consist of a warm up average & an average of 100.
Next, we had discussed the three types of practices which were Stopwatch practice, software
practice and stackmat practice.
After that, we had discussed how to do those practices better.The first tip was using only
laptop & Cstimer.
The second tip was practicing in better lighting and in white light, not yellow light.
The third tip was not to look at your time while your are solving.
And the final tip was you should be listening to something while you are solving.
It can be either a podcast, song, motivational speech anything.
So, these were the things that we have discussed in this video.
So, this is all the information that i have on the topic "How to do your practice better".
