I’ve read that when you weigh more you can produce higher watts in 15 second sprints, the challenge is when you loose weight to produce the same watts in sprints as before.

Great progress and well packaged and explained! If you move your hands to the drops during the sprint you can easily hit 1500W like Patrick and so forth ;)

@pedrosgarden Жыл бұрын

I keep saying they should give you a contract and no one listens to me! Awesome stuff Benji, great progress. Losing that extra weight will make a big difference, as long as you keep your training volume the same and keep that muscle. It becomes harder to progress when one has reached the ideal weight. That's where I'm at, so can't wait for you to reach that so you can help me with that as well!

Interesting video! So, how did the "pro" FTP-test compare to the ones you've done on Zwift?

@BenjiNaesenTV Жыл бұрын

I guess I would say that I trust the result on this one more than the Ramp Tests on Zwift, because: - On a Zwift Ramp Test, I ride 15 minutes to reach 300 watts in 1-minute intervals. - On this Step Test, I rode 21 minutes to reach 320 watts in 3-minute intervals. But somehow, I received a result of 227 watts in the Zwift test, which I 100% couldn't uphold for 1 hour in April. Meanwhile the Step Test gave me the 215 result which is more realistic for me.

@mattsammekull780 Жыл бұрын

@BenjiNaesenTV Cheers Benji! My experiences told me Zwift and its ramp test exaggerates FTP estimations, and back when I used it, I did my workouts @95% FTP. Good luck, keep up the great work!

You 've made a little mistake and made your January-self lighter, I believe the correct weight is 110kg. Would be a bad thing if you actually gained 14kg between January and March. 110 to 114, that's within normal fluctuation.

My watch says my vo2 max is 55, which is above average for my age group. I have been cycling for the past 4 years and started running a year ago. Not sure about the watch vo2 max accuracy since I'm always struggling to stay with the group ride for more than 30 minutes.

@ellipticalsoul Жыл бұрын

Mine was over 45 according to my watch at one point but now decreased to 34 even though my segment times and average speed are getting better 😕 maybe I've become much more aero without realising it haha

@MichaelBoogerd Жыл бұрын

Garmin’s algorithm seems to be exaggerated in my experience, my device reading is 62 but in the lab I’ve performed 60,5. Having said that like with every metric, you can still track progress watching the number increase over time.
