I Thought I Was Mentally Weak - 13 Months Later I Finally Found the Truth

😤 For 13 months I told myself the same story that I was mentally soft. That I couldn't handle the pain. That when my legs stopped during an FTP test, it was because I gave up Turns out I was completely wrong 🤯 🦵 At minute 10-12 of every 20 minute FTP test, my legs would just... STOP. Not my breathing. Not my heart rate. Just my legs completely dropping out like someone had pulled the plug In this video I break down exactly what was happening 👇 🧠 What neuromuscular fatigue actually is (and why your legs stop taking orders from your brain) ⚡ Why lactic acid disrupts the signal between your brain and your muscles 🪜 Why we naturally fix this on climbs without even realising it 🔧 The ONE simple trick to break out of it mid-effort (yes, like those crap online ads but this one actually works 😂) 🏁 How I used it live during a TT at the EXACT power and time my legs would normally quit 😬 Plus my embarrassing virtual shifting blunder mid-effort... and how I snatched victory from the jaws of defeat anyway 😅 🎯 I also tease something for a future video why the 20 minute FTP test might actually be working against you at higher power outputs. At my target FTP, holding the test pace means I'm essentially doing a 20 minute VO2 max effort. There's a better way. Coming soon. 👀 💬 Did this help?
