Good evening, I'm going to try my first ftp test tomorrow using the 6 step ftp test on the garmin. I've done some search but still a little unsure on one thing. At the end of each step should I push the lap button? Some forums I've read say yes you should and others don't mention a thing, Even when I read the online 520 manual it just says insert your ftp goal and press start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I would not press the lap button. On the 520 I believe the test is controlled via a workout. Pressing the lap button will cause the current step to be terminated and will advance you to the next step. This should happen automatically unless the step has been defined to continue until a lap press.
See what happens at the end of the first step. If it does not advance to the next step or tells you to press "Lap" when complete then use the lap button.

Thanks for the reply. That's a good call to see what happens at the end of the first step it's only 20 so not the end of the world if i bugger it up. Just need to get my timing right so I get to the road I need to be on for the 20min test section.
