Wattbike first impressions and Zwift FTP test!

This is my 2nd Zwift FTP Test in 10 days because I did the wrong (beast mode) test the first time. Turns out this one was a pretty similar result.

Enjoying your journey.

I would advise you to do the FTP ramp test on Zwift. This test is much better for rookie cyclists since you don't have to estimate what power to hold for 20 minutes straight. Also, this works much better with ERG mode. A nice training plan to start with, if you are looking for one, is the FTP Builder, I increased my FTP from 195 to 250 in 6 weeks. Good luck!

very entertaining and refreshing to see an average person riding and not some high wattage rider that barely breaks a sweat blowing everyone away. Cheers to you and good luck with your fitness journey. It won't get easier, but you will get better/faster.

I’ve lost it… what did I stand up for😂😂

[@philipb867]

love the Zwift videos.

[@jaysayshello]

Loving your videos mate! I’m binging through the whole series. Cheers, keeping going! 🎉

[@GamerKidEdits]

Awesome content! TY for sharing your journey. I only ride outdoors as of now (summer) but plan on getting a smart trainer this fall. I’ll keep watching as you keep teaching.

[@Sakuraba85]

Yeah, the ramp test is the way to go for beginners. Good effort!

[@dewidavies7995]

Thanks 😊

[@olbucky9413]

Really enjoy your positivity brother! On behalf of “Everyman” it’s nice to see someone challenging himself in the same way I am.

[@AdamDooks]

Another great video Ryan! Don't worry about the sore arse, that gets less painful with time but the padded shorts will definitely help 😂

[@lee-cycling]

Great video, man, and a great effort! Glad you figured out your actual FTP at the end. The number you first mentioned is just the average for that entire activity. Zwift shows that after every ride.

[@NorthernEnduranceDad]

Walking like John Wayne😂😂

[@dewidavies7995]

You are faster on the shorter route. Ie, 10miles, and 25miles. 😊 i now i am.

[@gallo5263]

Love the video Ryan. You are selling yourself short buddy - your FTP is the average watts for the 20 minute effort, not the entire session. The rest of the session is just warming you up for the 20 minute effort. I think it flashed up 179 watts FTP immediately after the 20 minute effort (12 minutes 46 seconds on the video). That running cardio standing you in good stead.

Hope your knee gets better 🫢

[@alanbell1821]

You don't stand during test ,it's got to be sat down

[@LouieBaLLz]

Are you ever planning to ride outdoors? I recommend not using erg mode all of the time (or at all). First of all it makes the power very consistent which is unrealistic to the outside world. Secondly it doesn’t allow any flexibility based on how you are feeling. Such as feeling good you can push the zone a bit, riding indoors you may not feel as strong so ride more at the lower end. Third during burst and full gas efforts tends to hold you back. it’s good to train yourself to be able to push, shift gears and not be a drone.

[@schlam18]

When the ftp 20 min test begin erg mode is disabled so will have to use your gears to control power /cadence hopes this helps

I wear 2 pairs of shorts all year round also chamois cream works wonders if you suffer from a sore backside
