Every time the piston comes up, it will either be the exhaust stroke or the compression stroke.
On the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve will be open, and you will thus feel no pressure at the spark plug hole.
On the compression stroke, both valves will be closed, thus all the air must come out the plug hole, and you will FEEL that pressure as the engine is turned, assuring you that you are getting to TDC on the correct stroke for the spark.

If you feel no pressure on either stroke, then you have other problems.
