    Riding Ramped FTP Tests I would recommend to ride with ERG mode on. Especially for riders with less experience definetly a better way for organizing your power over the full time. The trainer will set the power to the given watts.

    • @norcalfullraces
      @norcalfullraces  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! However I had him in ERG mode and since it starts at 50 watts it was impossible! Will try again for the next though

    Have you experienced weight loss plateauing? Every time I need to lose a big block of weight I always hit a plateau mid way through that lasts about a week or more. It’s frustrating to be doing constant riding and being in a constant deficit and not lose an ounce…. Just curious to know if you experienced that in your recent journey and if so, how you overcame it

    • @norcalfullraces
      @norcalfullraces  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Bobby! Yes I have many times in the past when trying to lose weight and it is very very demotivating. The biggest thing I’ve learned to overcome it is to maintain your caloric intake (making it even with your output) once you hit that wall. Once you do this for 6 months your body should adjust to the weight you’ve lost and you can overcome that wall that you’ve hit! I’m currently stuck at 185 so that’s what I’m doing at the moment! I’ll talk about it in the next vlog! I hope that helps!

    When you eating out how do measure how much food it is and the calories? Do you bring a scale with you and ask the hosts how much oil they used during cooking? :D
