Max observed % FT improvement

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

A question to the Trainers here: What's the best % improvement you have seen in a relatively untrained athlete? I ask becuase I've managed a 34% improvement to date (training and getting quick wins with cadence etc) but still need another 30% FT improvement or so to reach the w/kg target I have in my mind.

I guess somewhere a genetic potential from untrained to max has to kick in?
