Default One LAST question on brake bleeding...

Thanks for being patient with all my questions, esp. on all the brake work I've done. I'm going to bleed my brakes hopefully one final time to get any more air out of the system. The question I have is when I do the two-man way of bleeding with my son at the brakes, do I put a block (lay a brick or 2x4 piece of wood) underneath the pedal so it doesn't go all the way down to the floor when he holds it down after pumping it 3-4 times, or do I let him hold it down as low as it goes, even all the way to the floor? I've been doing research and I've seen advice on both ways, what do you guys think will give me the best results?

This is one of those areas where the method is left for each to choose - personally, I use the "all the way to the floor" method, but then, I'm old and kinda set in my ways...

Pump it up, open the right rear bleeder, push to floor slowl & steady, hold pedal down close bleeder, do that a few times keeping an eye on fluid level..
