@JamesQGM cheers, my thoughts too.
@onyerbike and @dbr my understanding is that standing can spike the ftp, especially during ramp tests and this is why zwift and TR suggest staying seated. But an interesting counter argument here
I guess the takeaway is it depends on riding style, I'm out of the saddle a lot, particularly when climbing. On long seated intervals, especially on the trainer I often feel like I can grind into a hole and rpm drop to the point of grinding away whereas standing allows me to better manage my effort, cadence and pacing
