Planning training only has to answer three questions: what am I training today, in what order, and when do I stop.
The Structural Rule: Warm-Up → Main → Weak Point
A session has three blocks and the order does not change:
- Warm-up — wake your condition up to normal; do not chase scores.
- Main — whatever you most want to improve, placed where your energy is highest.
- Weak point — the worst thing in your data, last, and stop as soon as it gets frustrating.
Those three blocks have decreasing demands on your condition. The main block needs the most focus and feel, so it goes at your energy peak; the weak point is dull and frustrating, so it goes last, where a bad run does not wreck your day.
The 20-Minute Plan You Can Follow as Written
20 minutes total, including between-run rest and review. Set the duration to the matching number of seconds before you start.
- Warm-up · 3 minutes: dynamic flicking (easy) 60s → tracking (normal) 60s → micro-adjust (easy) 60s. Three runs back to back, just to wake the hand up.
- Main · about 10 minutes: the mode you most want to improve, normal difficulty, 4 runs of 120s with 30s between runs. If 2 minutes is too much, switch to 8 runs of 60s.
- Weak point · 5 minutes: find the mode with the lowest average accuracy in your training data and play 5 runs of 60s on easy difficulty. The job is to move it from "worst" to "okay".
- Review · 2 minutes: back to your training data, look at one metric only, write it down, and target just that number tomorrow.
Why You Cannot Train the Same Thing Every Time
Aiming is not one ability, it is a group: large flicks, smooth tracking, small micro-adjustments, pattern control while firing continuously, target switching. They only partly overlap — someone who is great at static positioning is often bad at tracking.
How to Find Your Weak Point
Do not go by feel. Feel will say "my flicks are off today", but what is actually bottom of the list is very likely tracking.
- Open your training data and read the per-mode progress table line by line.
- Do not compare accuracy across modes: 85% in tracking and 85% in a reaction test are not the same thing.
- Compare yourself with yourself: same mode, same difficulty — the flattest trend line is your weak point.
- There is a faster way too: whichever mode you least want to open is usually the weak point.
How to Lay Out a Week
Let every ability area get touched at least once a week, while leaving room to recover:
| Day | Main | Weak point / notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Static positioning | Add an extra warm-up run; feel goes blunt after the weekend |
| Tuesday | Dynamic flicking | Add the reaction test: see it, shoot it |
| Wednesday | Tracking / tracking fire | Add micro-adjust: once tracking is steady, precision is usually the gap |
| Thursday | Warm-up only, or full rest | —— |
| Friday | Micro-adjust | Add static positioning: steady on small targets makes big ones easy |
| Saturday | Spray control / spray tracking | Add target switching: it tests everything at once |
| Sunday | Pick the weakest mode from your data as the main | Read this week's trend and set next week's main |
Leave at least one day a week with no practice at all, for your hand and your attention both. Train seven days straight and your scores usually start falling on day four or five.
When to Take a Day Off
If any one of these signals shows up, skip the main block today:
- Scores falling for three runs straight while difficulty and duration have not changed
- Your feel is still scattered after the warm-up — normally three runs warms you up, today eight has not
- Wrist or shoulder aching or hurting — that is your body raising an alarm, not "training done right"
- You finish a run and do not want to start the next one, you are just mechanically clicking restart
Take a look at your training data first and find which mode has a flat trend line.
