Because Functional Threshold Power and Critical Power at 60 minutes are very close, an estimate of CP60 (Critical Power at 60 minutes) is a good proxy for Functional Threshold Power."

psimet has been extremely patient with you and provided a ton of useful information. And your response has been....priceless on the internet, but totally rude and really close to pyscho. God help the people around you IRL.
This is like a car crash. We all know we should look away, but somehow....
Naaah, I'm betting he just reads the "if you hold X power for Y minutes, your FTP is Z" stuff. Which ain't true when applied to shorter intervals for anyone with a large enough anaerobic capacity. Pretty much what Psimet has posted.
And it sure doesn't help that he's fudging numbers to boot.
Seems like he's a bad liar, even to himself. Maybe if he keeps at it he'll learn then be embarrassed two years from now about this thread.
