What are your thoughts on the FTP Ramp test? Any ways to make it easier like having fans to cool your body? Loud music to drown out the noises of your suffering 😂?
Nice work. Your real FTP is likely a fair amount lower, I think zwift gave me 305w when an FTP off a 20min effort was giving me 275-280, maybe 285, don't really remember. What I remember is that ramp tests overshoot quite a lot, something you will see confirmed by most, and given your musculature I suspect you're better on the short end than long end efforts. Either way, keep riding, and very nice editing at the beginning!
I did read that your real FTP is usually lower than tested on indoor training apps. However the relative numbers are good to see from test to test 👍 and you’re definitely right, I’m more of a sprinter than endurance/long effort. Hard for me to sustain FTP over time which doesn’t help in long course triathlon lol. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙
Why are people so pump up about an FTP test... Theres a minor difference between the first 30 minuts of a zwift race and and ftp test... If at all, the race is always harder...
Personally I do an FTP test to set a baseline for my triathlon season. I don’t race Zwift or in cycling, but need to sustain power over a longer period of time in a say 90km ride for an Ironman 70.3. The FTP test gives me a general baseline, and ultimately what power to aim for during the bike portions of my triathlon so I have enough juice for the run after 👍

Seeing myself being destroyed few days back in the same way. Keep going good effort. 👍💪
Thank you! It’s one of the things I dread most in indoor cycling 😂 glad to hear I’m not the only one who got destroyed but good on you for doing it
Nice work!
Thanks! It was a brutal test but necessary to see where my baseline is as before I build for this off season 💪
Just did my ramp test on Saturday, I was on the bullhorns for this one…
Gotta be on the bullhorns on a tri bike for the ramp test unless you’re @Lionel.Sanders ! I hope your ramp test was as brutal and rewarding 💪

Because Zwift Racing is dumb AF
