AH, I didn't know the bar didn't fit in those racks...
Yes, those are great, with or without raised heels. You can also use a low cable - set out in front of you - to overload quads.
That is plenty of protein, I'd say, and you've got an extra margin d/t perhaps lower quality (given some vegan sources)...
If you can swing it, I'd adding 5g of EAA to those meals where all of your protein is from legumes, just to enrich the protein of those meals.
If you find that when adding kcal to ensure weight gain that your appetite is an issue, you could even lower that number a small amount (e.g., to 1x5x BW) and still be just fine as far as protein goes, I'd say.

Yeah it works but feels a bit scary with bigger weights but it has worked so far
Thanks for the cable belt squats tip that sounds like a great pump move And great tip with the EAA during those meals I will def start incorporating that into the diet. What's your experience with vegetarian diets and this kind of training? I have been doing it now for the last 2,5 years and I have gotten a lot stronger on everything. I managed to put together a diet that allowed me to recover from DC training and I am looking forward to seeing how I will have to change things around for FT. So far after 1,5 weeks, I think I will be able to stay a bit leaner due to the higher amount of sets. One big problem that took me a long time to figure out with the diet was how to get the protein but not get up to 7-800g of carbs (which for me is a lot)
Since getting protein from legumes always comes with some kind of carb. But I think I have found a good balance now between getting a good amount of protein while keeping carbs at a moderate (still quite high) level. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
