Back in the day, when I didn't have a power meter, and had a sponsor that paid for lab testing I got V02max done in a lab. Never used the data for anything. Ever since I got a power meter, I haven't bothered with lab testing. It would seem to me, a calculated approximation for V02 max would be even less useful.
^this. The only real way to know is with a lab test. It's nice to know but that's about it.
