So 5x5 for instance the old range was 262-300. First set was always just keep it in the range, get my legs woken up, (I do a warm up, but I still treat the first set with kid gloves. Second set would be 270, third set 280, 290 and then last set I would keep it above 300. All of which I did, not easy but not too hard either.
New FTP 272.
Range now for 5x5 is 286-330.
I know I can do it, and I think I can hold 290 for all 5 sets, however today was not the day.
How long have you been riding again? A 22 bump in FTP is freaking massive. I will probably never see 22+ watts on my current FTP, ever. And that's including being ~7-10 watts down on where I was last year with no baby and more volume.
But I'm also highly trained with 15+ years of being a racer.
