I’m a little worried you’re joking, but just in case, here it is. The implied question being “how are you identifying your ftp?”, because if it’s THAT hard to do an FTP workout, it’s probably not your FTP.

I’m thinking of giving one a try and wanted to gather other’s experiences and how they constructed a workout based on his descriptions. In particular, what would be a ‘gradual’ increase in power for the baseline and progression 1, which is what I would be experimenting with.
