Another PPP of mine is that "training is testing and testing is training." (I would recommend only changing your FTP in 5 W increments, though, as it's hard to pin it down any more precisely than that.)
This has me wondering. If we do FTP in 5 W increments, how sensitive are we to be to our weight? For example, it doesn't seem to be so sensitive (unless you say so) to change it for every pound we drop. Would you update rider weight gain/loss in 5 pound increments or when?
I have never really thought about it (as I only weigh myself quite rarely), but what you say makes sense, i.e., you should ignore the noise and only respond to the signal.
Now precisely how much of a change qualifies as the latter instead of the former is a somewhat different question, the answer to which probably varies with the individual.
