Is Your FTP Good? How to Actually Tell

🚴‍♂️ Is Your FTP Actually Good? Or Just... Meh? In this video, we break down FTP (Functional Threshold Power) and W/kg (Watts per Kilogram) across every cycling discipline—crit racing, climbing, time trials, triathlon, Zwift, and more—to help you figure out exactly how you stack up. Whether you're a weekend warrior, Zwift addict, or aspiring pro, this guide will help you finally answer the big question: Is your FTP good... or just slightly better than your uncle who rides in jorts? We cover how FTP and power-to-weight ratios compare by gender, age group, race category, and rider type. Plus, you'll learn why raw watts still rule on the flats, why W/kg is king on climbs, and how Zwift’s new Category Enforcement might be the best or worst thing that’s ever happened to your ego. 👉 Find out where you stand 👉 Learn what matters (and what doesn’t) 👉 Stop comparing apples to professional pineapples 💬 Drop your numbers in the comments! Flex, compare, cry together—it’s a safe space for cycling nerds. Just don’t sandbag. We will find you. 😎 📌 #FTP #CyclingTips #Zwift #WattsPerKg #CyclingPerformance #FunctionalThresholdPower #WKG #IndoorCycling #BikeTraining #cyclingcoach 0:00 Teddy 0:23 The Basics 4:10 Riding on Flats 6:18 Triathlon Cycling 8:10 Time Trialing 9:58 Criteriums 12:04 Climbing 14:58 Zwift 17:43 A note on Aging 19:08 TLDR
