Default Two man clutch bleed procedure

So I'm trying to flush out my clutch line and do the two man bleed procedure with the pumping of the clutch pedal, hold, open and close bleeder. After I close it, the pedal stays to the floor and I have to have my friend pull it up, but it doesn't repressurize. Is that normal and should I have my friend push and pull the clutch to repeat the process to bleed again? It will repressurize after waiting quite a few minutes and push the clutch back out. But immediately after bleeding, there is no resistence against the pedal.

Normal, have your friend pull it up, pump it 5 or more times, hold it in, bleed, repeat for the required amount of times.

Usually at the beginning I pump a few times with the valve open to get the majority of the air out. Then bleed normally

I noticed some people had trouble with theirs and when I went to do mine the first time noticed the FSM said no pressure bleeding which is what I had planned to do. Anyway someone told me just gravity bleed it and that worked really well for me.
Just open the bleeder until it comes out and let it go for awhile. Keep topping it off and run plenty of fluid through it. Worked awesome for me. Good luck either way.
