Good luck!

That's a good idea for a video! I have done the shorter 20 min test but not in direct comparison to the ramp test. I imagine each test can play to an individual rider's strengths or weaknesses. To make a direct comparison could prove difficult because doing tests back to back you'd already be tired. But maybe alternating tests each week and comparing the averages over time...its worth a look.

Its been a minute since checking but I believe when you go to see the different workouts you will see your FTP displayed in the corner.

What Michael said, plus, if you expand the user menu on the top right corner and select profile, you will see the FTP field where you'd normally input your FTP manually will be updated with the result after you do an FTP ramp test.

Seriously though! I've been meaning to test it against another HRM. Its a chest strap and i read they might be prone to strange numbers.

Some people just have really high heart rates. Also, if you're untrained or in an area that isn't properly ventilated, heart rate can go higher than normal.

@@valentindelapena7333 yeah but 213 is more than a high heart rate😅

Not at all. First of all, (a) 220-age (derived from secondary data by Fox et al., 1971, following a conversation during a flight back from the ACSM AnnualMeeting) is not the most accurate formula for estimating HRMax, and (b) all formulas for HRmax have a standard error of about +/- 10bpm. That means 68% of the population is between 10bpm above or below estimated HRMax, and 95% of the population is between 20bpm above or below estimated HRMax. A decent article on the topic is by Robergs & Landwehr (2002), "The surprising history of the "HRmax=220-age" equation", JEPOnline, 2002;5(2):1-10. It's free to access. It's surprising how many athletes and even personal trainers are fixated on 220-Age formula as representing "true" HRMax. As an example of "true" HRMax, I'm 64 years old and my actual HRMax is around 195 bpm... my predicted HRMax using the Fox et al. equation is 156bpm!

@@valentindelapena7333 HR would not go above natural HRMax under any conditions, but it might reach max sooner under physiologically stressful conditions. But you are correct, HRMax is very individual and people differ a lot from the age-predicted value. My comment above points you to one of many useful articles on the topic.

I feel your pain! Those last few steps are wild

Dont ask me why but these cycling shorts are designed in two pieces like that lol

@@socalgravel I'm guessing they're for MTB?

I know, its been that way for as long as I've been tracking it.

​@@socalgravelhaving a high heart rate isn't healthy

That is hilarious!
