WARMUP: Standard Rio + Willie Mays Hayes
“Never Say Die”
THE THANG: To honor the musical contributions of the late great Ozzy Osbourne, YHC put together a program loosely based around some of Black Sabbath & Ozzy’s greatest hits.
After warmup, we moseyed to the bricks listening to “Sweet Leaf”
We circled up with the bricks to do a heavy circuit while cranking “Iron Man”
.
5- Lunges Holding Rifle Carry
5- Squat Thrusts
.
5- Curls
5- Kettle Swings
5-Heavy LBC
5- Coupon Merkins
.
We repeated the circuit until the song came to a close. We then partnered up and listened to the voices of the. “Children of the Grave(diggers)”
.
Partner number one ran to the end of the bridge and back.
Partner number two did grave diggers. Five to the left, and then to the right, as many repetitions as possible
.

Put bricks back

Mosey to the parking deck while listening to a song about “The Wizard” we saw moments earlier floating through the mist of the swampy Creek area.

Within, then decided to ascend the parking deck like Ozzy who was “Over The Mountain(climbers)”
Run up to each ramp and do 10 two count mountain climbers at each landing until we reached the top.

Once at the top, we knew we were “Flying High Again”.
Repeat as many times:
Five batwing Merkins, followed by a Star
Jump.

What time running short we had to mosey to the quad while Ozzie told us he did not have the answers during his debut track one “I Don’t Know”.

We arrived, and the conductor lined us up in a head to toe plank hold position as the “Crazy Train” left the station.
Pax had to hold plank as the person in the rear bear crawled around the entire line of people
.

We mostly back to the flag, contemplating the finality and beauty of “Mama, I’m Coming Home”

Thank you for indulging this old Gen Xer as last week was a tough pill to swallow, losing some of the childhood favorites

Thank you for the music, Ozzy.
