hippy-
I think you’re right. My memory is slightly hazy now as it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.
See this video at about 07’50”

No exertion. You’re not pressing against the pedals to push your weight up and back off the front of the bike, so you shouldn’t be pedalling hard.
Also, the expectation isn’t to be able to totally support your body weight with your core, just enough of it that most/all of your upper body weight isn’t being supported by your arms and wrists.
To add - This is what I’ve picked up from the bike fitting sessions I’ve had, but IANABF, so hopefully someone with real knowledge can comment.
