Highest Power output achieved?

According to my polar monitors history 5300 or so watts 
, but I think it was malfunctioning. My maximum realistic wattage is probally around 1200 or so, just remember your peak wattage may come in between when your monitor takes a reading (for mine, every 5 seconds) so it may not get recorded.
As far as compairing that number to pros, I dont know and I am in denial that they are all on drugs.

let's see, I am not on drugs and I have matched Petacchi's 1800watt max.sam218 said:
I am about 20lbs more than him though.
I recently read that jamie staff(british track team) claims to have the highest recorded wattage. somewhere in the 2300-2500 range. he was a great BMX racer before track racing.
200lbs, and what about is top halfvelomanct said:

200 lbs = 90.7 kg, so if really he can generate 2500 W then I need to revise my tables. OTOH, if he peaks out at "only" 2300 W then a certain recent world match sprint champion still has him beat (but only by a hair).
In less than two weeks I get the chance to see the "big boys" like Staff race in person!!
I watched them last year and at 35.9mph average it was over pretty fast. but is was exciting to watchacoggan said:200 lbs = 90.7 kg, so if really he can generate 2500 W then I need to revise my tables.

andy, your table represents 5 second power, which in my experiences is about 10% lower than peak. Staff's numbers, are more of a ballpark figure. I read that he said he did sprints at 2300watts, so interperet how you like.acoggan said:200 lbs = 90.7 kg, so if really he can generate 2500 W then I need to revise my tables.

no problem. I didn't think you were challenging me. haha. I suppose my wording was not the best.acoggan said:
Speaking of Theo Boss, I read that he is 82kg. which would make his 5 sec power almost 2000watts, according to your chart.
hmm, that's a coincidence, because that is my goal, and I am the same size as him! Yes, I have loftly goals, haha. But I made a 25% improvement last year, so why not make another 25% improvement this year! I am still 2 years younger than Boss, too.
