• Test or gtfo :)

    Don't make @hippy post that Coggan 'seven deadly sins' post again.

  • Ha! I unsubbed from this thread because it was the same shit all the time - "this number looks right/wrong, why? I don't race but I want to increase my , Is Stages the right thing to buy before I start my next commute?"

    But since you asked, here's a different list...

    The Sins of Sins – Top 10 (in no specific order):
    SOS #1 – Not testing at all
    SOS #2 – Not using an accurate power meter
    SOS #3 – Using inconsistent methodologies
    SOS #4 – Not replicating riding conditions in testing
    SOS #5 – Ignoring signs that FTP has changed
    SOS #6 – 95% of a 20-min mean maximal power = FTP
    SOS #7 – Using NP from rides < < 1-hour
    SOS #8 – Inappropriate use of the CP model
    SOS #9 – Not performing maximal efforts
    SOS #10 – “I’ve got an NP buster!”
