FTP Video
I have yet another FTP test scheduled for this week 
. I have been riding outside for quite some time now, and would prefer to perform the test outside. Unfortunately, this is just not going to happen. So its back to the trainer once again. In an attempt to "ease the PAIN" I have been searching for some notivational videos. Some folks have mentioned the ones offered by SufferFest.com, from which I am considering using "Fight Club" video. Not really a TT but tons of work. Does anyone have another favorite they like to use during these 42' suffer fests?

Pete, the sufferfest has good videos, they are set up for ftt perfectly because you end up with some rest intervals in the middle of your 20' tests but they are interesting to watch anyway, just concentrate more. I have used both the downward spiral and fight club, they both work well. Fight club has some good music and the TT coverage is cool, and of course you can race Spartacus at the end. The only thing I don't like about it is the cool down video, a bit corny.

Peter,
If you've been riding outside then an indoor FTP test likely wont' be an accurate reflection of your real, outdoor FTP. I wrote a wiki post a couple weeks ago about alternate methods of determining FTP. I recommend you use that instead.
@Rich: Thanks. I have been monitoring those different approaches since you published them. So if I can get outside I will do a FTP test otherwise I will substitute some interval type work instead. Maybe a 2x20' just for the fun of it. I could definite use practice pushing watts for those longer intervals.
