WTF, at that low weight? Maybe the bench you're using has no cushioning...

Anyway, what kind of soreness did you feel immediately after doing them? If it felt in the lowerback then you're not keeping the lowerback pressed and neutral (if you have anterior pelvic tilt you might find actually using the glutes during the hip thrust a hard thing to do).

Wait... so you're trying to squat blindfolded near 1RM weights?

Sounds pretty smart and safe. Try on a bosu ball the next time, it gives an added balance bonus.

I was being sarcastic, you know. You can play with that with very low weights and after years of squatting, when your movement efficiency is perfect. That's NOT your situation.

^ obv u were being sarcastic.  i'm not dumb bro.  and you're right, blind squatting is tough at near 1 rm and it almost got bad.  i was also doing it on an unstable foot/ankle.

That sounds pretty dumb to me :P

Dude first thing your back squat form looks really good keep it up. On the 315 squat I swear you could have hit it! You really need to accelerate the weight up throughout the whole motion it seems like once you got it out of the bottom ROM you stopped accelerating the weight leading to you getting pinned.. just my two cents. Good work!

why are you bragging about adding 10lbs of fat/water in 1 week, you definitely didn't even gain .5 lbs of muscle..

not even close, it's not possible for your body to synthesize 1-2lbs of contractile tissue in 1 week, hell it would be difficult to do that in 1 month

So does that mean if I lose this 10 lb of fat/water (which would be very easy) then I will have lost contractile tissue?

Sometimes I wonder if you're REALLY that stupid or just the smartest, ultimate troll. I tend towards the former, though.

No, you won't lose any contractile tissue (muscle) because you didn't gain any contractile tissue (muscle) to begin with. All you've done is pig out for a week and made yourself have to lose even more fat when you cut. Muscle is a living structure that can stretch and shorten, fat is just excess energy (calories) stored in your body. Thats why you don't see bodybuilders trying to gain 50lbs in one month, they gain 50lbs over 6-8 months, then spend next 4-6 months shedding the 40lbs of fat they gained with 10lbs of muscle. Making muscle takes time, lots of time, especially when you are natural.

yeah man, obviously, but its like .5lbs muscle/9.5lbs of fat vs 0lbs muscle/10 lbs of fat. Either way the muscle:fat tradeoff is not worth it and you've really just set yourself a 3-4 weeks back if your goal is to jump higher
