i'm hitting 5-6k calories a day right now, plenty for recovery

also this only applies if you do stupid shit like gas yourself on leg press machines and leg extensions

This guy squatted everyday for a year and never benched and his max bench went up 40 lbs.

Most people wildly underestimate what overtraining actually is.

2) proper *max* bench press uses ALOT of leg drive; stronger legs can increase your bench

3) you can improve some lifts with other lifts; a huge overhead press will improve a bench but not vice versa; i only bench once a week (but do dips and push-ups) but overhead press 2-3 times a week, my bench is still strong though it has always been my weak point

arch has to do with ability to extend the spine thoracicaly but hyperextending it takes the chest out of the lift

heavy 'squats' and deadlifts are the most retarded lifts

only problems ive noticed is that my hamstrings aren't getting a ton of direct work

Be complete in your description. Then let us judge you.

I think both of these changes are from too little protein and too much carbs and I worry I'm just decimating muscle mass. Any advice? Also what are your fav post workout meal. Really struggling to get 200+ grams of protein a day

2) carb:protein ratio should be 2:1; easy to get high protein as a vegetarian, cottage cheese, egg whites, milk, and occasionally meat substitutes

3) make sure your carbs are clean; rice, potatoes, oats are probably the t3

4) have you hit a 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, and 4 plate dl? you have no business cutting until you can do this.

during working out I finish my second two-scoop protein shake of the day, and when I get home I eat a quest bar which is good for 20 more gs. Dinner always incorporates milk and/or cheese, and I have yogurt once a day.

if I'm reading correctly, you lost 25 pounds in about 2 months, which is a staggering clip. There are going to be serious muscle mass losses associated with that. The slower you cut, the more muscle you'll preserve over the length of it. The tradeoff is that cutting sucks balls and you'll be doing it longer.

also try getting a pair of weightlifting shoes; people say they aren't natural but neither is putting a 455 lb barbell in front of you and squatting with it

i think most people would be better off with ssb cause the regular barbell back squat can really fuck your shoulders, i use an olympic bar cause i actually train the o-lifts
