How accurate is a Ramp Test? I tried holding my FTP for 1 hour

After my ramp test video was well received (thanks so much!), one question from the comments was clear: How accurate is a ramp test for determining FTP? In this video, I put my estimated FTP of 292 watts to the ultimate test by attempting to hold it for a full hour. Spoiler: it wasn’t easy. But was the ramp test number legit, or did it overestimate my ability? in this video I break down: The science of FTP: How the ramp test calculates your number. The effort: Can I actually sustain 292 watts for 60 minutes? The factors: Why your results depend on day-to-day form, fatigue, fueling, and more. 💬 What do you think? Is the ramp test accurate for you, or do you use another method to measure FTP? Let me know in the comments! 🚴‍♂️ Watch More: My original ramp test video:    • how I gained 100 watts in 1 year - FTP test   Follow my training journey on Strava:   / strava   🎵 Music Featured in This Video: Track 1: Mansij - Macchiato Track 2: Couture - Special Delivery Track 3: NAEMS - Blessed Track 4: Olmi - Mangrove
