Yes, suffer like a dog for a couple of minutes and at some point your legs will refuse to put out any more power, and then the test stops.

Yes and don't stop at the end of a ramp, push on as long as you can - I think it takes the best minute, not a calculation of the highest ramp.

Me too. I'll be your brother in legs for it.

Also try set your ftp as close to where you think it is. Will give you the best result. Took me 4 goes I think it was.

I'm doing a ramp test for the first time tomorrow, as the starting point for an 8 week program. I'd usually do the 20 minute test to gauge ftp, as I'm pretty good at pacing myself for that.
Is it simply a case of keep going until you pass out, and then a bit more?
