When one stands out on the road, the right bar goes up as that pedal goes down. To rock the bike in this fashion, one has to pull up slightly on the down-pedal side. Thus one's upper body contributes to the power produced. People don't normally rock the bike while seated, so if you're seeing that, no idea not already brought up.
