When a shock compresses or rebounds, it has to force oil through a number of orifices in the shock piston, which are metered by a stack of very thin washer-like discs. The geometry and number of orifices, and the particular stackup of discs is what typically determines the compression/rebound characteristics of the shock. So, even on the first stroke of the shock, it's got to push oil through the piston and the shock has to work. If the oil can't easily move through the piston on big hits, the shock will feel stiff.
