Coach's Corner: The Waltz of Sydney Larson

I think finding rhythm in any repeated movement is a good way to develop consistency - meaning doing the same thing every time. Rhythm is something you ultimately have to feel but there are a few things that can help you realize if what you're feeling is good or not. The one I like to use the most is sound.

Listen to Sydney Larson's set of box jumps from the end of the workout yesterday.

It started off as 1... 2,3 / 1... 2,3

Then she rushed a little bit and went 1,2,3 / 1,2,3

That lasted for about 4 reps then as she fatigued it turned into 1, 2, 3... / 1, 2, 3...

This can be some with the sound of the bar on the ground, the sound of your breathing, or a pretend sound when your arms extend on a push-up. Whatever it is, all movements you do in CrossFit (or in sport) should have a consistent rhythm to it. If they don't you are wasting energy.
