By that I mean, do you still pull on the upstroke (pedal in circles) when you get out of the saddle on a hill? I pretty much just stomp if I'm out of the saddle, and I find that if I do try to pull on the upstroke I burn through my reserves in about 10 seconds. I go a lot faster though.
When seated, I pedal in circles on hill climbs.
Am I doing it wrong?
you just have to alternate the different muscles! to let them rest and don't burn them out.

check your cleats and pedals, that is definitely not normal!
