Irkins or Derkins? Whats the difference?



Irkins or Derkins? Whats the difference?

Time is running short, so forgive me for the quick BB, but at least it’ll get done.. I had mutiple pax threaten ask to please limit the amount of ab workouts as we had Chipotle burn a record bunch of us out the previous day at Bushwood for a 65% ab, 5% merkin 30% running day. I lost count at 500 reps.. I obliged, but those waiting for the 6 may not have gotten the memo.

 


Warmup:

Mosey/snake up and down lot.

SSH/IW x20, Low Slow squats x15, Calf Stretch, Up/Down Dog, and runner stretch


Thang:

Usually those that know me would expect a heavy day of coupon work and running, but this AO usually has a big group, so it was switched up from our normal program.

  • Mosey to front entrance of HS, Pick a partner, one run a loop around, other reps
  • 75 Tysons
  • 150 Press
  • 200 Jabs
  • 75 Dry Docks
  • Mary for 6

Quick 10 count recover, head to back of Middle school, nope, not through the buses, all the way around (safety First).

I mentioned we get some mileage in here.

Individual reps and run around short track with 5 Leap frog burpees at far end.

  • 25 Irkins
  • 30 Dips
  • 30 steps 1=1
  • 25 Derkins

Repeat until Q says so.. think most got a good 6 laps or so before having to cut it short. Looked like i saw some flutters going on as I was hanging near the 6 on the last lap. I didn’t call for those BTW.

Small note, and this is my bone of contention that I have to get over:  Irkins vs Derkins… The Derkin form/position is more like and incline pushup working the upper chest and front delts, while the Irkin is more of the Decline pushup working the under-manboob to help with definition… little confusing, but they will all cut you up if you do enough.. Sorry for the rant.

Sugardaddy gave a 10 count for recover.

Head back to COT, Sort of… Back around the buses (safety first) head to parking lot and Al Gore at trees for 6. 2 mins left, 5 squats at every other tree to end at COT.


Moleskin: The morning temps are becoming perfect to get out and move. Always nice to get out an lead a workout, starting to feel a bit more normal and not quite as odd being in the middle stuttering over counts. had a handful of Pax crushing it, some of the norm, but we have Smuggler the newcomer vying to make us all push harder and not get set in our trance. way to go..
