off topic, please forgive.... Does anyone here have a 300w FTP AND 300lbs bench? That's a bucket list goal for me.
I think it is more fair to frame it with w/kg and your bench.
I know Zwift has a lot of fake junk going on, but there at tons of 100kg dudes on Zwift constantly cruising at 3w/kg all day long. I'm sitting there doing 260w on the TT bike at like 3.7w/kg and get passed standing still by dudes on TT bikes only doing 3w/kg. Take a peek at their workout display...........300w. Whew.
3w/kg is absolutely nothing up a hill. Whereas 300w is a lot of power for an hour. To me at least.
I probably do.
Haven't tested bench in a while though. Maxed out at ~400 pounds with a pause on chest at 100kg body mass 3 years ago. Video on instagram (or it didn't happen, of course!!).
I would imagine I can put up 300-315 pounds right now.
20-min best recorded = 309 W, and have only tested once (only recently got a power meter).
94kg body mass.
Yes, I get destroyed by smaller mediocre riders when the road turns uphill.
Great work!
I can't complain much on Zwift at all. I've done 305w for 20min at 71kg. Probably 72, but the sweat on trainers is nuts and I weighed afterwards. I usually input my "hydrated" weight into Zwift.
Either way, real life I can contort my body into a TT position that more than makes up for the heavy/strong set of riders. Zwift just isn't very generous on that front. I'm a lot faster IRL on the TT bike than Zwift allows me to be for equal power.
If I tried a bench right now.........I probably couldn't do my own weight. But, I can do 50 pushups! Lol.
