Tommy V is a descending rep scheme with heavy thrusters and rope climbs. The thruster weight is moderate but accumulated volume makes them challenging. Rope climbs tax grip heavily.
- Break thrusters early - 115/75 lb for 45 total reps is significant
- Rope climbs - use your legs efficiently to save grip
- If doing pull-ups, break into manageable sets
- Pace the first round of 21 thrusters - don't empty the tank
- Rest grip between rope climbs if needed
Pacing
This is a grind. The descending reps provide some relief, but 27 rope climbs is a lot. Steady effort beats going out too fast.
