Annoying gym goers aside, she should pick up a set of fractional plates. Regardless of gender, they're awesome once a lift gets to the point when you can't add 5 pounds every time.
I bought a set that includes .25,
5, .75, and 1.0 lb plates, for 5 total lbs, and the ability to make jumps as small as .5 lbs. They've been fantastic when I remember them!
edit: specifically, these are the ones I bought http://www.amazon.com/CFF-Olympic-Fractional-Weight-Plates/dp/B005P7BPCA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397170865&sr=8-2&keywords=fractional+plates
Shrug I can deadlift 405lbs and my OHP 1RM is an amazing 135lbs (barely). At a certain point you just kind of accept how terrible it is. If you aren't genetically gifted you're pretty much doomed to have slow OHP progression. I can't tell you how many stall -> deload -> stall -> deload -> finally up work sets by 5lbs -> stall -> repeat type of cycles I've gone through. I actually just ordered these to see if they make a difference, as I'd love to go back to linear style progression on my OHP, even if it's by ~1lb per workout.
My bench took months to go from 135->155, then it picked up and went up to about 175 pretty quick then took months to get into the 190's. Repeat that type of progress and I'm finally up to a 225lb 1RM after 10-11 months.
For a long time my bench was easily 50% of my squat, even now it's 65% or so.
Edit: As far as the deadlifting thing, I can't say I've ever experienced that. Sorry I can't offer any advice outside of make sure you're setting up properly and not letting your shoulders lose tightness.
