Default Brake procedure

Had a procedure question on doing brakes...after the first wheel is done do you pump up the brakes or wait until both wheels are done,,,,I always did after the first wheel is done and a buddy of mine said just do it when the complete job (both wheels) is done......what's your opinion.......(.PS: I think he's wrong)

Usually, I wait till all the brakes are done, then bleed at the end. I have always done it this way and never had a problem.

Is this only about changing brake pads?
if so, I agree, do all the brakes then pump them up.

if you want to know about bleeding brakes, the front is like other cars.
the rear is different.

No need to bleed. I just installed 4 grooved and drilled rotors with pads. After collapsing the caliper pistons and installing new parts, just pump the pedal a couple of times to return to full pedal. Be sure NOT to open any bleeder port during the repair.
