Great workout! I was gasping for air during it and felt dead after it. The 10 minutes of jump rope was actually a good workout too. For the workout, I did jumping pull ups, 18" box jumps, and 95 lbs deadlifts. I've noticed a huge improvement in my jumping pull ups over the past few months. They're definitely getting easier. The box jumps were also better than before, however I need to make sure to stand up straight once on the box. This was the first time I've done deadlifts at CrossFit Scottsdale and they also went well. 95 lbs seemed pretty easy at first, but when you're doing it as part of an intense workout, it's definitely no easy task.

Last night was also the first workout I've done in the new Vibram Five Finger shoes I got. I actually think they helped my workout. I felt lighter on my feet and I wasn't resting back on my heels as much when lifting. I also think they helped me jump higher mostly because I was afraid to stub my toe when doing the box jump, lol. I'm looking forward to working out some more in them. I definitely felt lighter on my feet if anything.
