    And your max heart rate was only 162. Wow, either you have mega quads or you are very old. Or, may be, both.

    I don't believe he specified that he was cycling when he generated this graph, people.

    Not sure what he was doing but the graph is clear, he needs to improve his style. Not even the slightest bump on the graph in this category.

    There is a bit of a difference between short max output, and a 3% smoothed multi hour ride/race....

    http://twowheelscycling.blogspot.com...700-watts.html
    If you search around on the web or read magazines you might come across a mention of pro cyclists being able to top out at 1700 watts or more during sprints. If any of you have a powermeter, you know this is a big, big number. Most of the athletes we test will hit a max in the 700-900 watt range.

    OK, looks like I'm about 9/17ths pro wattage.

    Mein herr Greipel needn't worry.
