Not using a smart trainer?

Start at 100 or 150w

Best to start at 100w and go from there. The longer time at sub threshold shouldn’t have a huge impact on your best final minute wattage.
Even if you can’t get to the end of one of the power targets, if you’ve managed to hold it for longer than before, then that suggests an increase in FTP.

Doing a ramp test, is there any advice as to what the starting power should be?
Im so weak that if I start where skinny and cjr’s started a few pages back, if I move up in 25w steps then the test will only last a few minutes! My inclination is to start at 80% of my last ftp test?
