I have an odd issue. My FTP is terrible and likely accurate (~130) as I’m not in very good shape. However, I am decently strong compared to my FTP, and if I sprint for a couple seconds Xert will bump my FTP by ~100 watts.
I haven’t tried a workout at my new FTP of ~250 but i’m pretty sure I’d die. How do I keep Xert from bumping my FTP up every time I sprint? When I look at intervals.icu it doesn’t seem to have this issue.

From my onboarding topic for newbies –
Tip for the future –
There will be times you generate a BT that you don’t want applied. For example, an abrupt stop at the line may generate a BT but you didn’t fail naturally and you could have kept going. Or you may have power spikes in the data which Xert attempts to filter out during analysis but one snuck by and bumped your signature. Or you got a Near BT which slightly lowers signature values and you prefer not to do that. Its not necessarily a bad thing as it improves your chances to generate a BT in the future but many hate to see any decline while they’re training. 
For these situations you can flag the activity which retains the strain score for TL purposes but skips signature calculation.
