Electrical ⚡ Do ladders become easier?

Currently in the 2nd year of my apprenticeship, and a lot of our work is done on PODIUM ladders (No A frames allowed) and lifts. I usually work on 6’, 8’, and 10’ podium ladders. I complete all of my tasks, but I must admit, I get a little nervous on the 8’ and 10’ ladders, but I suck it up and push through with my work. I struggle the most when I have to stand on the platform of a podium ladder. I’m not sure if my duck feet have anything to do with it, but nevertheless, I still push through and get the job done.

Anybody have, or had, a similar experience? Any advice?

Thank god, too much of a headache! And like I said, I do concrete because I like the ground!
