I trained at a local VQ studio for a couple of years and took the every other month FTP test. Let’s say it was NO FUN. Generally, with hard work I could improve my FTP 3-5 watts every couple of months, but there were a couple of plateaus, I had one month I did a bit more, but it was a lot of work to get small gains. If you were losing weight, maintaining was tough.

I can say we had a few guys pushing close to 300W, big guys, and a couple of young strong guys.

I know the pros push bigger numbers, but for a person with a life, 250W is not a bad number and it’s not a sign of weakness.
