You need a cold hurricane. The STers have it down to a science. My solution is window open, house fan on, absurdly-powerful Costco fan pointed at me, and that only works when it's below 50* outside. Above that works, but power is capped and dropping. In the old house, the trainer room was at the bottom and well-insulated, and it worked if I just ran the AC full-throttle throughout. The key is to have fresh air with a cross-breeze through the room, and a huge airflow over your body. And it has to be cold. That's why it's only now that I can really do an FTP test.
And outdoors, there's nowhere I can hammer for 20' and be safe.
