I’ve been thinking at this question for a good hour now, but I can’t wrap my mind around the physics involved. Wouldn’t bringing your legs back before the top of the swing (to “swing” them back and keep you going) negate what you’ve gained through the precedent leg throw because of energy conservation?

You are expending energy using your muscles to add to your momentum. If you think about how your legs move, they go behind the chains as you move back, then in front of the chains as you go forward. This changes your weight distribution to help even more.
