FTP will follow your CTL (in general) so, during base phase it should go up; build phase it should go up; specialty phase it will most likely remain constant.

Until you get near your potential…I went from 236W to 280W through SSB1/2 and build last year. This year I have gone from 280 - 289 -295 - 298W during SSB - Although I am doing mid volume this year with a bit of extra stuff - HV - especially the build made me ill last year as my weight dropped a bit to much. Still heading the right way though 😀
