I did well over 100 cush core installs this summer and many of these 'tactics' are the same as mine. I do find the foot on the hammer method to pull the insert on to the rim annoying. I mount like half the insert on, get on my knees, put the mounted part against my waist and the unmounted part against the ground (on carpet/foam/ rubber flooring) and just push the insert on by hand, once you get the hang of it, it only takes a few seconds and doesn't require any pre stretching at all.
