Hey everyone, Just thought I would start a thread on people’s tips and tricks for the Ramp Test - motivation, cadence, anything that helps! The reason I wanted to start this thread is I am finding executing the Ramp Test is a bit of a skill in its own right - kind of like how football players have…

I have a playlist that ramps up and up and up until Linkin Park’s One Step Closer kicks in at about 18:15 into the test. That song is about 2:40 or so, so if you make it through, your FTP will go up a bunch. Just have to make it partway in to break even. But basically the goal is to get through as m…

I find this to be a factor too. I’m contemplating going back to the 8-minute test because varying stress levels at work seem to affect how much of the ramp test I can gut out.

I’m getting back into structured training after six months of roughly 2 indoor and 1 outdoor rides a week (4-5 hours). I have a 100 mile/4.5 hour event on Sunday but am thinking of doing a ramp test today* as I want to jump back in a few days after I finish. I’d also like to know where I stand befor…

The ramp test is not such a huge stress it would have any impact on your weekend. Hell, unless you follow it with something hard it probably wouldn’t have much effect on tomorrow!

My thoughts - plus not a bad way to keep the legs open. Guess I’m testing… :grimacing:
