The title is quite misleading. You increased your 4 min power by 53W, which is quite impressive, but you haven't done anything to measure VO2(max). Which is not masured in watts, but rather as volume/mass/time, most often milliliters/kg/min.

Exactly!

Came here for this as well. Didn't even watch the video - the title just screams "I don't know what I'm talking about - here's some advice."

He may be referring to pVO2 max which is power at VO2 max which is still a good measure of progress.

True but nitpicking. 4min power is strongly correlated with vo2max. The anaerobic component is relatively small. If you push 400W for 240 sec its 100kJ while anaerobic contribution is somewhere between 15 and 30kJ.

this is as useful as V02 Max videos from a million subs channels, if not better 👊

Good vid. Misleading title. Did you actually test Vo2 after this?
@iancarson86145 ай бұрын
you may not have increased your Vo2 max. you may have have increased your anaerobic work capacity. kolie, probably would not suggest doing V02 4x4 each week, year round, or doing a 2 week block of 8 sessions. you may have created hormonal/blood changes, which may well drop off quickly, and those watts may drop back down. however, i applaud your consistent work, and test it out and see approach.

Amazing. I did the same and increased my ftp with 20 mMol/l kg….

Are you going up the road with the watts 😁, nice one 👍

Good video and nice improvement. How did your final heart rate of 161 compare with previous sessions and what percentage of max HR was it. How did the next 3 intervals go Do you not average power across all 4 intervals, otherwise you might two two hard and fade right off for the last two.

What do you think of 30 seconds intervals for a total duration of 20 minutes ?(13 x 30/30 3 times )

@gerrysecure58746 ай бұрын
Nice improvement, but studies from Seiler have shown that for most individuals 4x8min @90% HR is better than 4x4min @95% HR. Why are so many people just follow podcast claims instead actual science ?

Interesting, if your real vo2max (max oxygen volume consumption) is increased, or it's just that you trained your body? Good job, anyway!

why are you putting ur shoulders up? i get told to relax my shoulders is it a technique or something
@pmcmpc6 ай бұрын
Because bars are too wide / hoods aren't turned in. It messes up your posture with wrist angle. When he moves his hands to the middle of the bars his shoulders relax and drop because his wrist angle is no longer screwed.

You can do a lot of vo2 and progress for a while (several weeks). But you will burn out and plateau eventually and life will be miserable.
