#

definitely gonna show my progress here every week hoping for good results

serene plinth
#

beginner gains are real, expect them in the near week

#

do the fundamental routine consistently and enjoy the process ^^

#

do the bronze fundamental

near wraith
#

ok thanks ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ˜Š

near wraith
#

after one day of grinding

#

i'm happy with this result after only one session

#

it's actually insane how seeing an overall progression (even little) is motivating ๐Ÿ”ฅ

serene plinth
#

๐Ÿ”ฅ keep going consistently

near wraith
#

next week i'm silver or gold i won't allow myself to be under don't worry

serene plinth
#

the videos โ€œhow to pasuโ€ and โ€œstatic mistakesโ€ by mattyow will help too

#

near wraith
#

ok i'm gonna check that out thank you

near wraith
#

it's already helping thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

end of the day almost iron everywhere CharmanderYay

serene plinth
#

sweet, bronze is next door ๐Ÿ˜„

near wraith
near wraith
#

should i get faster and have less accuracy on this one or am i doing this the right way ?

serene plinth
near wraith
#

ok ๐Ÿ‘

near wraith
#

damn psalmTS is so hard compared to the rest

#

i didn't do all the benchmarks only those i wasn't iron in to see my progress in those

#

I can't do everything tonight but i'm doing that tomorrow

serene plinth
#

try to focus more on the center spawns if not already in psalm

#

u will get it with time, glhf

near wraith
#

thanks for the advice it helped me a lot cattodance2 ๐Ÿ™

#

yeah about my progress .... there is one exercise i really don't progress... in fact i actually regress lol

#

if this is easy either i'm really bad or this is beginning already pretty hard and it's not gonna get easier

#

that's definitely my new nemesis

#

if you have some advice to track better this ball of hell that would be great cause i'm really having a hard time on this

#

or maybe i'm just more tired compared to yesterday and monday idk

#

i find every exercise harder today it must be that

serene plinth
near wraith
#

i'm actually trying to use more my arm cause i have a bad habbit of using my wrist too much but i'm not used to it so it's not very smooth for now but i'm improving with my arm on the smoothbot exercise

#

i still gotta improve with my arm on vertical smoothness also cause i was using my fingers a lot

#

is it better to improve on horizontal and vertical smoothness and then try this exercise or practicing all three at the same time ?

serene plinth
near wraith
#

okay ty for your help kirbyHappy

near wraith
#

hm i got one question on this exercise because even tho i'm improving little by little, i feel like i'm not doing it the right way

#

to handle fast strafe, i'm trying to react as fast as i can and flick fast to go back to the thingy

#

but it results on the thingy changing direction before i'm back on it and it messes the rythm i had

#

so am i doing this as i should and it's just my reaction time and my capacity to adapt while flicking that aren't good enough or am i doing it wrong ?

serene plinth
#

less snappy flicking more "controlled flick" transitioning to smooth motion or only smooth motion varying in speeds

ofc it will take time until u can do this correctly, all good ^^

#

higher sens helps here

#

whats ur sens rn?

near wraith
#

or 3.70 with 500 dpi in apex

#

or 8,85in/360

#

idk which one you're using generally so here's every conversion

serene plinth
#

u will have same mobility just easier to control

near wraith
#

Ok ๐Ÿ‘

near wraith
#

thanks for the advice i'm definitely smoother with this sens

desert abyss
#

precise tracking you can honestly go even slower than 27 cm

#

all up to you

near wraith
#

yeah but i don't wanna change my sens too much cause i'm training for apex and i can't change my sens for every move a player does

#

or maybe i didn't understand your point there idk

#

also I am limited by my mouse pad which is 25x35cm

#

I'm going to change it by the way cause it's a bit frustrating this limitation when the target is doing 360 around me

serene plinth
#

glhf, bigger pad will definitely help

near wraith
#

pasu still driving me crazy idk how tf did i do my pb but damn i'm havin a hard time getting my high score over it

#

but i'm gonna sleep cause it's 4am in france and idk why tf i'm still playing kovaaks at this time lol ๐Ÿ’€

#

i think i'm addict

serene plinth
# near wraith i think i'm addict

relatable ๐Ÿ˜„
watch how to pasu by matty, even if u watched already its good to rewatch trust
work on accuracy first then try to speed it up while maintaining acc as much as u can

near wraith
near wraith
#

hm i'm back from holidays and i just saw the accuracy in the highest rank on this exercise

#

so am i supposed to stop shooting between each ball or shoot continually ?

#

cause each ball need 2 bullets to get destroyed and i was wondering that was why i was struggling on this exercise ?

#

(i tried to shoot continually on my last attempt that's why my accuracy is so low but before i was stopping my shoot between each ball)

shell wing
#

its like target switching

near wraith
#

okay ty makes more sense now yay

near wraith
#

I just changed of playlist to push myself and idk why the silver playlist feels better than the bronze one

#

like on some exercises i'm closer to the median score than in bronze and i feel like i'm doing better (like in smoothbot i feel like i have a better tracking)

#

even in pasu I feel like i'm more accurate

desert abyss
#

grind smoothbot advanced extra thin 1000 times (real)

near wraith
#

damn it's hard lmao but all right, if i do this 5 times a day for 200 days is it enough or should i do more per day ?

desert abyss
#

I was kidding you donโ€™t need to do that

near wraith
#

damn that's a recover from downfall i wasn't expecting lul

near wraith
desert abyss
#

say you want master on smoothbot intermediate

#

play it a couple hundred times and youโ€™ll likely get it

near wraith
#

i'm far away from master but i'm motivated to get it one day

#

but first, road to silver and then gold

desert abyss
#

how long have you been playing?

near wraith
#

34,7h

#

and i've begin grinding VT's playlists around 24 hours ago in game

#

it's been a week and a half i'm grinding VT's playlist

desert abyss
#

fundamentals or vdim

near wraith
#

fundamentals and apex easy

desert abyss
#

ah

#

i am a big hater of the fundamental playlists

#

itโ€™s probably fine until you start getting gold scores on the benchmarks

near wraith
#

I felt like I was not progressing anymore on the bronze playlist that's why I started grinding the silver playlist yesterday

desert abyss
#

but after that itโ€™s not really effective because you donโ€™t spend enough time isolating the aim techniques

near wraith
desert abyss
#

VDIM works a bit better because you get to isolate each technique (ex. precise tracking) for each day of the week

near wraith
#

what's VDIM ?

desert abyss
#

if you wanted to improve your tracking only you could just play the vdim tracking playlists

#

voltaic daily improvement method

#

s-vdim

#

eh worth a shot

#

one sec

near wraith
#

so if i start grinding VDIM after getting to gold complete is that allright ?

#

cause fundamentals playlist are a good warm up for apex sessions i feel like

#

for my level at least

desert abyss
near wraith
#

no yeah you're surely right i gotta try it

desert abyss
#

on a personal note I improved simply by playing the benchmarks, so there are a lot of ways you can do things

#

people seem to like vdim when grinding intermediate benchmarks so itโ€™s something you can try to see if you find benefit in it

#

whatever you do, good luck!

near wraith
#

ty gonna try next week to see the difference in my progress in a week

near wraith
#

anyone knows how to hide the bar, because it's makes my focus go away

#

never mind i found how

desert abyss
#

what is that visual

#

:/

near wraith
#

The basic one

#

I didn't change anything

#

Exept the glow when i'm on the target

stone mortar
#

its the hs bar

#

near wraith
#

progress showing on some exercises CatDance

#

now i can see where my weaknesses are ๐Ÿ‘

serene plinth
near wraith
#

went silver on one exercise

near wraith
#

is there exercises to train specifically the exercises where i'm still iron in that i could do ?

desert abyss
#

ummm the exercises themselves

near wraith
#

Right

#

Good point

near wraith
#

Bronze complete CatDance

near wraith
#

damn I went from 60fps to 144 fps it's changing my life right know

#

i'm breaking all my old record

desert abyss
#

on 60 hz i get diamond scores lmfao

near wraith
#

I still have a 60 Hz screen (gonna change it as soon as i have some money) but just increasing fps is crazy already

desert abyss
#

what fps did you have before? 60 hz means youโ€™ll actually see a maximum of 60 fps on ur display

#

the fps counter can say 300 but youโ€™ll only be playing on 60

near wraith
#

i had 60 fps but I changed the tower of my pc and now i have 144 fps in game (apex)

#

idk why, i'm still on 60 Hz but what's happening on screen feel smoother

#

see i'm on 60 Hz but i can still see a difference with the change of fps that's weird

near wraith
#

end of today's session

warm blaze
# near wraith end of today's session

nice ur first 2 golds are the same as mine. quick tip u dont have to put in ur average score, like barely anyone does that. just track ur high scores and also keep pushing ur gold scenarios for better scores and in a few weeks or even days u will be gold compleate

#

im at day 3 rn and im also really close to gold compleate but like ive aimtrained before so ur actually doing good

near wraith
#

i haven't updated my average for a while, i lost it when i change my computer so it's pointless for me to update it because it wouldn't be my true average

warm blaze
#

this is how my spreadsheet looks rn

#

since ive aimtrained before and u already have 2 golds u gonna be gold compleate in no time lol

near wraith
warm blaze
near wraith
#

not really like i did 15min of aim lab per day for a week and stopped because i wasn't motivated (i wasn't seeing my progression)

warm blaze
near wraith
#

well first i gotta do silver complete but yk what i mean

#

maybe the goal is too ambitious too but gotta keep the motivation CatDance

warm blaze
#

what is ur cm/360

near wraith
#

27cm/360

warm blaze
#

27???

#

thats high sens

#

im on 37 rn

#

maybe it would help using slower sensitivity in game and in aim trainers

desert abyss
near wraith
#

yeah i play apex i'm more comfortable with this sens

warm blaze

it works well for tracking but i wouldnโ€™t recommend using that for static for example

aimlabs i got maybe 40 hours prob less

warm blaze
desert abyss
#

lmao I got a few hundred in aimlabs

Ty happy

near wraith
#

I just tested VDIM and idk if it's because i'm less tired or something but i'm better than usual in game

near wraith
#

damn i've seen my progress now in game i'm happy

serene plinth
near wraith
#

i'm gonna start the benchmark over and use a sens randomizer, idk if it's a good idea or not but i fell on a reddit post sayong that it could maybe help me with my eye/motor coordination and all that

desert abyss
#

idk just grind more bro

near wraith
#

actually thought i would see a big difference but except on some exercises i'va pretty much the same level

#

well not the same i'm not silver anymore but yk

#

i even improved on some exercises ๐Ÿคจ

near wraith
#

this is without sens randomizer

#

i gotta aim train again i didn't aim train for a month because i didn't have as much time as during holidays but i gotta manage my time better

near wraith
near wraith
#

bruh i just discovered after all this time I had mouse acceleration enabled

#

no wonder i couldn't hit my flicks consistently

#

already beating my olds PB's now that it is disabled lmao

serene plinth
#

The classic sneaky accel

near wraith
#

I have one question about kinda close fast strafe

#

so I know in theory for reactive tracking like that i'm supposed to have no tension or as little as possible, but i am testing fingertip grip because I like the range of motion it gives (i was in psalm grip before) and I don't know why i'm doing better when there is a little tension in my fingers and wrist

#

is that because the theory isn't completely true, or am i just weird ?

#

(the theory I got was from Struth on youtube because I was searching if the reason I couldn't keep up with fast strafes was because of my reaction time or because I was wrong in my aiming technic)

#

or both

#

(when I play a reaction test i'm at around 250 ms generally, idk if it's slow or not)

serene plinth
#

Tension is good when needed (not too much ofc), tension all the time is not good. Read buckshotโ€™s reactive guide

near wraith
#

ok great ty ๐Ÿ™

#

also, how could I improve in this appart from going faster and miss less ?
I feel like I'm doing something wrong but i'm not sure (sorry to bother you with all my questions ๐Ÿ˜… )

serene plinth
#

U need to be more flowy and read the map faster, basically the solution to all is to play it more and try stuff out without fearing results/scores

near wraith
#

ok ty very much, took a little break from aim training because of my lack of organisation skill but i feel motivated again I'm gonna grind again to go to intermediate ranks ๐Ÿ‘

serene plinth
#

Ay its all good, take your time and have fun ๐Ÿ‘

near wraith
#

took a long break but i'm finally silver complete

#

i should really stop taking breaks in aim training fr

#

road to gold complete is starting

#

let's see how how long it will take me

#

from today on, i'll train everyday, because i can't have fun in fps games with my trash aim anymore

serene plinth
#

Nice, welcome back

#

Some rest days are good here and there if u need em ๐Ÿ‘

near wraith
#

yeah but the long break ngl i was just lazy to train because i was just having fun in games not playing seriously, but now that the ranked mode in apex is actually good, the motivation to get a better aim is back ๐Ÿ˜„

near wraith
#

i tried the intermediate benchmark a little to see the gap in difficulty w/ the novice benchmark, i'm happy to see there is 1 exercise i am platinum in ๐Ÿ˜„

serene plinth
#

Soon plat ๐Ÿ‘

primal shuttle
#

whoa you're cruising

low steeple
near wraith
#

yeah fr i agree

#

in my case i was just lazy af lmao

near wraith
#

mashle's ost making me beat my highscore everytime

#

not me thinking i'm gonna become an aim god in a day because of this music x)

near wraith
#

btw i'm starting to have a little bit of pain in my shoulder should i continue training today or take a little break and come back later ?

#

nvm i took a 10min break it seems to have disapeared

near wraith
#

lezgooo new pb

#

VDIM really showing some results

#

pb again damn

#

getting close to gold in this one

near wraith
#

it's been a while

#

i haven't stop grinding this time, i just don't benchmark myself at all currently, i'm grinding a lot of different playlists and focusing on my progress in game instead of just in kovaaks

#

i just grind kovaaks for 30 to 45 mins a day idk if it's enough tho, but yk maybe i'll improve slower, but when i grind for longer it just demotivates me to aim train so i prefer to train for shorter times but keep being consistent

near wraith
near wraith
#

benchmarked myself after a while, happy to see i went at least gold somewhere

#

gonna benchmark myself again in a week to see if the other one is getting there too or nah
