I think of it more simply in terms of a 100% slope- i.e., a 45° angle. It’s 100%, because the distance you go forward is 100% (or the same) of what you go vertically.
For those familiar with roof pitches, a 12 on 12 roof is a 45° angled roof – 12 inches horizontal for every 12 inches vertical. 12 is 100% of 12.

Thanks, Scott, that all makes sense. I’ve probably focused my training too much on developing leg strength beyond what is necessary, so it sounds like it’s hurting my ME workouts now. That link is very helpful and cleared up a lot of things for me.
