Benchmarked on July 26th

Been working on staying consistent with my training, did fundamentals the last 2 days then found out about VDIM and currently working through that.
Feels like I am wildly inconsistent across the board and working to correct that. Noticed a quick improvement by attempting to use the correct technique and upping my smoothness. I have been playing FPS games for over 10+ years but just now wanting to seriously improve my aim overall instead of in-game technique.

Any advice is welcome, will try to consistently post here to give myself a progress sheet

#

Weaknesses noticed during benchmarking:

 Air Strafes - wasn't reacting to the strafes, noticed improvement on close when started focusing heavily on reacting 
 Kindaclose Fast Strafe - struggling with the short and fast strafes
 Vertical - Struggled on the ascent, descent pretty good and at the apex, found easier when stopped trying to track all the way to the bottom(+400 score).
 Smoothbot - definitely can improve on consistently be smooth, noticed a bit of jerkiness sometimes.
 Pasu - started to get jerky need to improve smoothness and gradually ramp up speed.
 B90 + Tamspeed- jerky flicks
 Pokeball - straighter lines and less overflicking. speed it up aswell
 ww3t- same as pokeball
 1w4ts - straight lines, knowing what target to go to next and overflicking. speed should come after fixing accuracy 
 B90T - smoothness and switching effectively
 patTS - focus on smoothness and tracking while keeping crosshair in center of target

Updated Benchmark after finding out that VDIM has some of the benchmark scenarios in.

Particularlly proud of this improvement.

Currently working through VDIM Tuesday which is static.

I am trying the bardoz method on everything today since I have the time from hopping off the game.

So far it really is forcing me to be accurate.

I just am not consciously doing any microflicks and I think I just haven't gotten to a scenario that is compatitle with it at my current skill level. I watched a MattyOW high score run to see if I could notice a certain way he plays it. I slowed it down and he was micro correct, with me barely able to notice it.

I do want to eventually get there but who knows. I'm just gonna try it

2 hours and 15 minutes of training today....

I don't know if that is too much, it definitely felt like I was not at my best for the benchmark that is at the end of VDIM....

I most definitely improved my accuracy with everything except poke ball scenarios was 95%+.

Did not get a better score for the benchmark, was at 850 for w6ts Rasp Novice and was getting 810 today consecutively. Technique was most definitely better and less misses. Feel like I just need to speed it up while maintaining my accuracy which I need to do slowly.

Updated Benchmark 7/31/2024 after VDIM Wednesday Smooth Tracking.

noticed severe improvement focusing on the bot itself and not heavily focusing on my aim and letting my brain choose the correct movements and if it was mistaken then correct it by making the better movement consciously.

#

Felt really good in-game today(OW 2). I was hitting a lot more of my shots and generally feel as if I've improved significantly from just learning aiming technique and playing the scenarios. I enjoy the feeling of improvement and hope that trend continues.

Noticed that cleaner/straighter lines helped heavily in speeding up in the second half of my routine so after about Pokevox I started focusing on cleaner lines

#

Gonna do fundamentals playlist tomorrow, probably take a nap then play the game then do Static specific weakness scenarios since Static is really holding me back(specifically damn multiclick...)

#

I just can't get my brain wrapped around it, will probably watch a few youtube vids about it

8/05/2024 no need for an updated benchmark today.... tried the novice vdim playlist for Dynamic clicking today and made it about half way through feeling utter shit the entire time. Just stopped at that today. Felt really demoralizing as it felt like my entire technique just regressed to worse than when I first started. Even tried taking a quick break and shower before hopping back to it and still felt like shit.

It could be from fatigue from playing games all day but I still feel like my aim was decent in game today.

I really don't know... like I said before just really demoralizing when I was feeling so well on my aim journey.

Hopefully will come back even better tomorrow. Work tomorrow so I'm planning on maybe trying to get home, try redoing the novice routine, nap, then play some games, then do tuesdays. may just nap then play games then routine like I have been doing before.

Honestly makes me want to stick with the initiate playlists for another week.

and I don't know what it is but this server just feels like I am talking to a wall sometimes. I've asked for advice in #advice twice and gotten zero responses when people literally are getting responded to....

I don't know man....

Updated Benchmark 8/05/2024 after playing VDIM Tuesday Static

felt way better today tbh, yesterday was just weird ig. Weekends I seem to get shit sleep since I'm used to work schedule ig.

#

Messed around with trying to get the optimal posture today and it kinda felt better. trying to do less super floaty elbow. also didn't have to deal with a sweaty mousepad today which was super nice.

Took a break yesterday and today. Been super busy with work and haven’t been able to play

Updated Benchmark 8/22/2024

took a decently long break but I am back and ready to improve.

Did VDIM Smooth tracking and felt pretty decent for not having trained for a while and only playing games where it feels like my aim went to dogshit
