- As part of any training program you need to set bench marks. In this video I use a variety of tests to set a benchmark FTP to set training zones that I can use this year to increase my fitness!

That was more like the evolution of cycling agony courtesy of an FTP test… definitely can relate… 😆🍻
Appreciate you going through that for us. Just bought an indoor trainer so I'm "looking forward" to doing some of those same tests.
😅 Good luck!
my ftp test of choice is based on advice from coach kolie moore. it essentially means riding a flat effort at what feels like threshold (not your limit) and holding that intensity for around 40 mins or more. it should be highly aerobic, and removes the more glycolitic or anaerobic side of the effort. short effort tests or ramp test % or AI are just guesses at what should be a doable wattage. it also makes it easy to pitch training intensity and duration afterwards.
Sounds like a good, but hard, test! I could take my approx ftp and see how long I can ride at it!
That looked tough!
It was quite! 😆
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Probably more than me! 😂
Thanks, very clear outline! I will do a ramp test soon, to check my situation. It is about one year after the previous which was 260 W. Curious how far it dropped, currently 66 years old, 72 kg, and 192 cm length.
Best of luck!
just love an FTP test.
2 x 8 is my favorite. Most important factor, is to do the same one every time, is it not?
It is! 👍
Reckon you'd make a good coach Dave ?
Might need to not get dropped?! 😂
Interesting, looks good to me, does it predict your vo2max?
Not that I know of! 😕
The suffering of Dave. Nice one
Great video 👍🏻🥵
Is it just me or is the audio only in the left channel 🤔
Not sure… I may have messed up with the mic!
Thanks that was interesting stuff. If I was to do a skin fold calliper test, I'd need a bigger calliper right now! Right old porker after Christmas and a couple of doses of man-flu.
😅 Hope you’re feeling better now!
