Serious question, did I waste 12 years power stretching every room?
I used to power stretch every single room out of habit, knee kicker and all, because that's how the guy who trained me in Akron did it back in 2008. Last month I had a 40 yard pull in a big open living room and my back was already sore, so I tried a pole stretcher with a deadman and just took my time with it. The carpet laid flat with no ripple at the seams and I finished an hour earlier than I planned. Now I'm sitting here wondering if the knee kicker was mostly for my ego. What do you all run for big open rooms, and do you still power stretch the small closets?
