Can anyone explain to me on how to do a FTP test on a computrainer?
I usually do my FTP on rollers with my Garmin and then just plug it into Golden Cheetah and get the info I need but was wondering how do I get my FTP test done on a computrainer?
I am using the new racer mate 1 software

The FTP test I do is one I got from coachrob.com last year. I do this the first thursday of each month.
I start with a 20 minute warmup. Rob stated warm up with 10 watt updates each minute until you basically cannot spin for a minute.
So for me, since I am a wuss on the bike, I start at 160 watts, and get up to 300 watts in 15 minutes. I then spin for 5 minutes at 150 watts. These 20 minutes are one erg file.
I then restart a new course file with is just a 100% flat course, and make it like 20 miles or something. I then spin as hard as I can for 20 minutes on this flat course.
I think it is 95% of the 20 minutes watt average, and get my FTP. Then take the percentages to get my L2, L3, and L4 number and use these for the month with
my interval erg files.
