You must be using a very lighweight set of ladders to notice the effect of
the standoff (either that or you have left the tin of paint on it!)

Any tips? Or do I just need to be a lot bigger and heavier?

You may find one with wheels easier to handle:

the wheels just make me think what goes up easier comes down easier...
