Coaching Moment of the Week: Couplets
Couplets, where we go back and forth between two movements, are a big focus in CrossFit because they expose an interference point between the two movements. Because CrossFit is constantly varied, the couplet is always a new time domain, rep domain, weight domain, or combination of movements. Each time is a chance to expose and improve on a new weakness. Regardless of the level or scale you choose, push to expose the interference point in your body between the two movements and work at that threshold to improve your fitness!
