THAT'S the way to do it properly! Bump from a higher gear, then shift to the proper one for the speeding up...
Using much higher gear lets the engine have less retarding/slowing when the "bump" is done...
My three cents!
Two normal ones plus the extra one I've saved learning how to HYPERMILING

I now bump start in fifth all the way down to 5 mph, then switch straight into the correct gear (or neutral at a stop sign), and it's waaaaayyy smoother!
