That's the way I understood it too, Ben. Also seems a bit safer to apply foot pressure than it would be to be lifting pressure off of the opposing peg. IMO, I feel I have more control applying weight to the peg than I possibly could by lifting off. I'm gonna assume that the person that originally came up with this lifting of the opposite side actually means just what we're saying - That is assuming whether you lift or push, you are if effect transfering weight at a point that is nearest the center of gravity & the pivoting axis.
