She hasn't been back in since. IMO she has some self esteem issues. The whole time I was helping her she was whining about not being able to do it correctly instead of STFU and listening and then trying to make the changes I was suggesting. Comes across as needy instead of wanting to learn and improve.
Re: qhams Challenge thread

Re: qhams Challenge thread
Did they measure your leg length on each side? Sometimes that can be the reason for unbalanced. Even if the muscles are real tight more in one leg than the other, that can throw off your whole gait. Anyway, it looks like there is no stopping you regardless of this:)
