That little hand-flicking thing she does at the bottom--is that a re-gripping technique you taught her or is she doing that on her own?

I've been having some grip issues, which is why I ask.

She's just spazzing out cuz her grip's giving way. Hey, maybe there's something to that, though. Maybe it helps.

nice lifts, you taught her well

stacey, get her some chuckies or weightlifting shoes!

I'd normally just have her go barefoot rather than have her lift in those things, but the gym manager was lurking around, and he doesn't appreciate anyone barefooting it.

Right on. Hell, I might do the same thing without realizing it.

What sort of diet recommendations are you giving? Protein intake should be what?

The standard 1g per pound of body mass. The broad picture painted by the literature (according to those whose job it is to know and understand these things) is that the average lifter shouldn't need anymore than that. Of course, you have your outliers who may need more, but that should be decided upon a case by case basis, I think.

Right on, pal. Thanks for the feedback.
