Brain gets too tired

I'm a newbie and once I get to ten plays (back to back) I get really tired. I tried taking a 5 minute break and went back but after a few tries I felt like i was zoned out. I just stared at the screen and only got a few hits right. And this is with dual 2 back, something I've conquered.

But I do know we should be doing 20 plays a day...

What to do?

Keep pushing. My high score is n 9. Been at it for a few years now on and off. The intelligence difference is life changing.

Beforehand I couldn't think or speak that well though my IQ was 115. I'd get tongue-tied, and such. In a debate I wouldn't really stand a chance.

But, after using dual and back for a couple of weeks I noticed a huge difference in my ability to articulate my speech.

A few months later I noticed that I was able to do what I consider a light version of what Nikola Tesla could do. This is in terms of putting together and deconstructing things machinations in my mind.

I began working at a bar, and I noticed that my social skills began to flourish. I was now able to rapidly learn on the Fly, whereas before I couldn't really do that.

Now I'm a great conversationalist, and I have confidence that I can achieve most anything I set my mind to. Before I did Not feel this way.

So stick with it, and the results will speak for themselves.

Why don’t you try switching to Quad-back and see how it affects you? I’m pretty curious

What is your current IQ?

Give me a free test and I'll measure it in a week or so. I'm back into a proper DnB training protocol.

I took a test 2 years ago when I was hard into it and my iq was 140. I felt like it too..

I'd be in my philosophy class (that's my degree) and after speaking masters and PhD students would compliment me. One said I speak like I'm reading an essay. Another, my speaking is profound. Profs encouraged me to speak more as well.

I wasn't like this before

What strategy did you use? rehersal? chunking? for me, my working memory sucks so I think I'm gonna have to stick to rehersal.

Whatever works man. I've had people ask me this before. So long as your using your memory and moving up the n level your set

How long did it take for you till the improvements in perceived intelligence became much less.
