There was no need to push forwards with dropped heel because my glutes without leverage could not drag the pedal back at that gear. Now I am using glute leverage I use a higher gear, and more heel drop to push my pedals forwards.

It feels like I am rocking my femur like a see-saw and that my feet are move around with the chain.
