I took ANOTHER ramp test today and once again my FTP did not improve. I have been on TR for over 2 years. I love the platform, I am consistent with 3-4 workouts a week and just finished SSMV. I am 51 and weight 155 lbs. I will admit that I also CrossFit 2-3 times a week, usually on days I don’t get …

Sorry I should have been more clean ramp has given me anywhere from 270-303 depending on how bad I failed at it. 270 was the most recent I tested the 20 min at 309 a day later and completed SSBMV1 and 2 and im now into Sustained power mid. I have used the 20 minute test and results in the crit plan …

This hit home. I’ve been stuck at an FTP of 224-226 since September, although overall strength and sustained power are better. Did another ramp test on Tuesday on the heels of MV General Build (preceeded by MV Sweet Spot Base). Same FTP results. I’m also 47 and maybe MV plans are too much for me. I…

[image] Jkauffman: My nutrition is pretty dialed in. Can you expand on that? Don’t take anything for granted if you’re not getting results you expect. It’s those sneaky variables that can get you.

For me, at least, the ramp test is as much a measure of my willingness to hurt as it is of the power I put out under a given level of hurting. For me the “gold standard” for whether or not I’m training at the right levels is a workout like Lamarck , which is 4x10 minutes right at FTP, with 2 minute …

well, I don’t eat very much processed foods. Mostly plant based. I don’t eat a high carb diet, but I try and increase my carbs for hard rides or the ramp test

Not that you need more options, but you could try this one too. [image] Kolie Moore's FTP test protocol Training I’ve seen some mention of this in some other threads, but I’m wondering who here as done one of Kolie Moore’s FTP test protocols, and how it worked for them. …

[image] tperotti: Do you always ride at threshold/SS and never higher? How do you perform on VO2 workouts like Monadnock using the 20min result? I think this question nails it. I think if you get a significantly higher result on the standard 20 minute test (relative to your performance on a r…

I think another nice thing about using the Empirical Cycling/Kolie Moore test is that it also measures TTE, so you can get a more objective measure of how your ability to maintain FTP (aka power at MLSS) over a longer time. Increasing TTE can have a dramatic effect on on-road performance even if po…

I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve found it difficult to do a lot of lifting in addition to a MV plan. I wasn’t making a lot of progress either when I first started using TR last year. At the time I was putting more emphasis on lifting. Since then I’ve reduced my lifting to 1 or 2 days a week a…

[image] jheg: I think if you get a significantly higher result on the standard 20 minute test (relative to your performance on a ramp test) and you use that set your ftp/zones, then the subsequent vo2 workouts are more likely going to be out of reach but ftp/ss will be on target. This wasn’t …
