;-) Oh, my apologies, I didn't mean to convey that. I meant that less than 55% of FTP is going to be different for each person. Going back to the original intent of my comment, 70w for me is not effective as a warmup power, let alone trying to spin at 130rpm with such low resistance.
I know this is totally off topic, and I think I've got a satisfactory response from my original post on the trainers, but here it the warmup protocol I use before a race.

As you can see, it progresses up to zone 5 -- not possible on the Omnium Track trainer.
Here is a good visual depiction of the warmup protocol.
