Resistance for climbing workouts
I have purchased a Nashbar Watt Master Fluid Trainer and do not feel as though I am getting adequate resistance for hill climbing simulations. This is the first unit I have used that has a weighted flywheel that allows coast down. The unit is great for high cadence speed work but just does not maintain enough resistance for out of the saddle, climbing even at the highest resistance setting. Does anyone have a similiar unit? I am wondering if my resistance unit is defective. I am also able to maintain 40 minute efforts at 700+ watts according to the wattage meter on the trainer. I am confident that this is not correct and would like to know if anyone else has seen similiar elevated wattage readings from this unit?
