I have always done the two people method, using farthest from the brake booster then opposite, then the farthest remaining and then again opposite ends. I always follow the brake pedal to the floor while bleeding the brakes, I figured if I didn't I would loose tension and air can be introduced (not 100% sure my thought process is correct).

is this correct? if so, what kind of wear am I causing to my brake boosters? I have all my cars on the 3 year maintenance schedule as far as brake fluid is concerned.
