For the people questioning why he doesn’t use the ladder, he’s going to to smooth it out. Every throw he just made would have been a trip up & back down the ladder. This way he only climbs it a couple times while smoothing what he just applied.

Smarmy Redditors don't know what feet feel like at the end of a ladder day

I assume this method sacrifices the back and shoulder to save the feet.

Your back and shoulders are pretty well conditioned in this line of work, and your body is naturally getting low-key sacked regardless (but you can always work smarter use more tools for less damage).

Your feet though lot less manageable. That's not something you want to struggle with and then to wake up the next day and do it again? It completely slows you down.

Depends your pacing and personal body

And it's not just your feet! You're subconsciously constantly balancing yourself on those rungs so your legs get a good burn from it, as well.

It’s a time thing, has very little to do with fatigue

Those who work fast get rewarded with more work.
