Henderson, Cassons, Apex Coaching and The Sufferfest did not invent supra-threshold, a fatigue resistance profile or the idea that two riders with the same FTP will perform differently once you go above that threshold, nor do they claim to. And this is where the controversy with the 4DP platform lies.įull Frontal is The Sufferfest’s new fitness test Colin Levitch / Immediate Media Sufferfest claims this better tailors the intervals to what you’re capable of doing rather than basing them on a percentage of your FTP as the majority of the other training apps do.

What Full Frontal does is define these above-FTP thresholds (supra-threshold) to identify your rider type and then takes this information and applies it to each of the workouts inside the app. ”There are guys who are really good at sprints who can put down big watts but struggle with long efforts, and then you get other guys who can do eight minutes way harder than they should be able to based on their FTP, but can’t sprint.” “As soon as you go north of FTP, the variation in the population is just massive,” said Mac Cassin of Apex Coaching, who played a role in developing 4DP. The Sufferfest claims this better isolates your FTP and also gauges your physiological systems above threshold.

So instead of the standard 20min FTP test where you basically do a time trial and then average the power for that duration, Full Frontal is broken into four different efforts - neuromuscular, anaerobic capacity, maximal aerobic power, and FTP. This new platform is based around a fitness test called Full Frontal, which was developed by Henderson over years of working with top-level athletes across many disciplines. FTP is dead, The Sufferfest claims, and launches 4DP training.

When The Sufferfest launched its 4DP training system, there was a fair bit of controversy for an update to a training app.

You can connect The Sufferfest app to Strava and TrainngPeaks for automatic uploads after you finish a workout Ben Delaney / Immediate Media 4DP - FTP 2.0 (When used on a Mac, this also turns down the music volume, though, so you have to turn the volume back up separately.) If the workout is just a touch too hard or too easy, a quick tap on the down or up arrow will fix that. This is especially useful when riding a smart trainer. One small (but key) feature is the ability to adjust workout intensity on the fly. If you don’t have a power meter (or a smart trainer), the app has a virtual power function that lets you train with watts based on a trainer-specific algorithm that incorporates speed and cadence. If you are using a smart trainer such as a Kickr, then the app controls the resistance.
