ERG
What to do if ERG locks your legs
In ERG, if you drop cadence too much, the trainer may increase resistance to maintain watts and the session becomes impossible.
Recommended steps
- Do not fight the trainer seated at 40 rpm.
- Increase cadence before the trainer becomes too hard.
- If you are stuck, pause or lower intensity for a few seconds.
- Resume with steady cadence.
- Review whether FTP is too high if it happens often.
- Do not confuse a technical issue with real fatigue without reviewing context.
