I stopped pulling up and it did 3 things for me: increased my speed, reduced fatigue, and reduced pain. I also noticed it worked out more of my muscles so I have gained more time in the past month of training!

According to serious studies pulling up the pedal (round pedaling) is less efficient than piston strokes plus more related to injuries

I dont think pullin up is good, but i saw that making my pedal weight less by pulling leg up make great difference. You pull up only by amount to not resist other leg, no to pull the pedal and put force into whole system

It seems to me that it's worth doing it for climbing, you can just recover during the descent. That way you can keep more momentum so you don't really waste energy.

Technically speaking, you aren't ever doing a true isometric while cycling because an isometric means that essentially no movement is happening. But in general you're right. Trying to "pull up" on the pedals makes no sense biomechanically due to the rest threshold your muscles need anyway. Anyone who says otherwise clearly has no clue on physiology and is just basing their theories off of old-school techniques, which have since been disproven.

I would agree for endurance long races. But if your in an all out sprint I am sure your using every muscle you can to get power down.

Thank you so much sir I understand nothing
