1000 watts for 2 minutes. Is it true?

So if you do the math, it seems like this would not be possible.

Best case scenario say its a huge dude with an FTP of 500, lets calculate what his FRC(power someone can do over FTP) would have to be to do 1000 watts for 2 minutes(120 seconds).

1000 Watts - 500 Watts(for FTP) = 500 Watts of power generated by FRC stores.

500 Watts * 120 seconds = 60000 Joules = 60KJs which is huge! A quick search shows this pretty much tops out at 35KJs(did not vet this number too much) for men. So the person would have to be aerobically a outlier as well as an anaerobic outlier.
