Warm-up — weakest three
Your 3 weakest cases
Every session starts here, all eight weeks.
Eight weeks to a solid sub-20
A coach's programme, three sessions a week. Weeks 1-2 finish 2-look OLL and PLL, weeks 3-4 rebuild F2L without rotations, weeks 5-6 add full PLL, weeks 7-8 add the OLL shape groups. Each week's blocks are marked with a note; do the warm-up plus that week's two blocks and stop.

Goal: A structured eight weeks from 2-look to full CFOP.
For you, today
For you, today, Eight weeks to a solid sub-20 is 163 reps over about 31 minutes, covering 37 cases across F2L, OLL, PLL.

- The plan as its author wrote it. Cases you have already mastered are skipped.
- Every block at the length the plan asks for.
The plan, block by block
Weeks 1-2 — finish 2-look
Read this
Do the two blocks below. When both feel automatic, move on — do not wait for the calendar.
2-look OLL corners
7 chosen cases
2-look PLL — corners then edges
7 chosen cases
Weeks 3-4 — rebuild F2L
Read this
F2L is more than half your solve time at twenty seconds and almost none of it is algorithm knowledge. These two blocks are about the hands and the eyes.
F2L without rotations
6 chosen cases
- Cross front — edge at the right, front colour up 80
- Cross right — edge at the back, front colour up 60
- Cross right — edge at the left, front colour up 60
- Cross right — edge at the front, front colour up 60
- Cross right — edge at the right, front colour up 60
- Cross front — edge at the back, front colour up 60
F2L — pieces already in the slot
Edge and Corner in Place
The cases everyone loses time on: something is already in the slot and has to come out first.
- Corner solved — edge flipped in slot 60
- Corner twisted front — edge solved 60
- Corner twisted right — edge solved 60
- Corner twisted front — edge flipped in slot 60
- Corner twisted right — edge flipped in slot 60
Weeks 5-6 — full PLL

Three new perms a session, no more. Recognition first, speed second.

Weeks 7-8 — full OLL

Four cases a session. Full OLL is the longest of the four jobs and the last one worth doing.
