Which routine should I start with?

Run the Voltaic benchmark once to find your tier. Pick the routine matching your weakest category at one tier above your current level.

How long until I move tiers?

Bronze to Silver typically takes 2-4 weeks. Each subsequent tier roughly doubles the timeline. See our improvement timeline page for detail.

Can I run these in Aim Lab?

Yes. Each routine lists Kovaak's scenarios; the equivalent Aim Lab scenarios are noted in parentheses where they exist.

Do I need both Kovaak's and Aim Lab?

No. Pick one. The free Aim Lab is sufficient through the Diamond tier; Kovaak's becomes useful for Master+ depth.

Aim Training Routine Database by Skill Level

By Mustafa Bilgic, FPS gaming enthusiast (Adiyaman, Turkiye) — last reviewed 2026-05-06.

Twenty-plus aim training routines categorised by Voltaic skill tier — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Jade/Master. Each routine lists scenarios (Kovaak's primary, Aim Lab equivalent in parentheses), practice time, and intended sub-skill. All scenarios are anchored to the public Voltaic benchmark methodology (app.voltaic.gg/benchmarks) and to the Aim Labs Official Benchmarks (aimlabs.com benchmarks article).

How to use this page. Find your current Voltaic tier (run a benchmark or estimate from category scores). Pick a routine targeting your weakest sub-skill at one tier above your current level. Run that routine 4 to 6 days a week for 2 to 4 weeks, retest, then re-evaluate. Don't jump tiers; the prerequisite work matters.

How tiers map to Voltaic and Aim Lab

Tier label here	Voltaic name	Aim Lab Official Benchmarks	Approx. cohort percentile
Bronze	Iron / Bronze	Iron / Bronze	Bottom 50%
Silver	Silver	Silver	50-72%
Gold	Gold	Gold	72-85%
Platinum	Platinum	Platinum	85-93%
Diamond	Diamond	Diamond	93-97%
Master	Jade / Master	Master	97-99%+

Why tier-targeted routines beat random scenarios

Deliberate practice (Ericsson, Krampe, Tesch-Romer 1993, Psychological Review) requires stretch difficulty. Practising scenarios well below your level produces no improvement. Practising scenarios far above your level produces frustration and bad reps. The sweet spot is one tier above your current level on your weakest sub-skill — the lift you can measure each week.
