look at it this way… The SSB2 will still be effective if you have your FTP set a little too low and can complete all of the workouts. Don’t forget that a range of power will provide a stimulus, and you don’t need to hit a thin razor’s edge target to get a benefit. You need to do work, rest, do a little more work (either by the higher .IF rides, or eventual increase in FTP), rest… I think I personally got pretty good at testing and thus sometimes the FTP setting was making some of the blocks harder than necessary. Failing workouts is a bit demoralizing, while dropping it now could get you to have better compliance with the plans and thus eventually a better response by the time you are done with the build.
