jtbrown0511: Thanks CS. I think everyone needs animal protein and she is trying to make the argument that she gets enough protein through plant and dairy sources. I think everyone needs animal protein and can't be your healthiest unless you have it.

KennyCrox: cueing to drive you legs through the floor as a means of breaking the weight off the floor is incorrect. Research (McLaughlin) has demonstrated that quad drive is dominate...but NOT a Conventional Deadlifter. This misconception continues to be perpetuated. Kenny Croxdale

KennyCrox: The deadlift is not a leg press. "It may help to think of the start of the pull as a standing leg press" is incorrect for a Conventional Deadlifters.

Chris Shugart: @jtbrown: Very difficult to get everything you need from a vegetarian diet without a lot of supplementation. Also, if she's a "healthy" vegetarian (as opposed to what I call a Twinkie vegetarian), too much fiber can also cause more problems than adequate fiber intake fixes. But digestive issues are complex, so it's very tough to guess the causes because there are so many varied causes. Make sure she's getting iron and saturated fat (coconut oil) as well.
