How it's a contradiction? I think mass is detrimental but additional leg muscle at a sub ~2.5 squat helps more than it kills. Meaning - you get a higher force output as a + but you need more effort from the CNS/core/other untrained small muscles to move as a - . I see the CNS power in absolute terms (like everyone of us having a battery in their bodies) that is drained more by the additional mass it has to move around, regardless of it's nature.

Adding muscle cannot be detrimental and useful at the same time because there is only one net effect in the end. This net effect might be the result of independent mechanisms, but what matters is the outcome of a higher, equal or lower VJ.

If you put a bigger and heavier engine in a car, it will have a bigger power production (positive effect) but it will burn more fuel and maybe, due to the higher forces, wear some other components out (negative effect).

 the problem with statement is the human body is not a car, not even close.  our "parts" adapt just like anything else to increased strength/stress and get bigger, stronger, faster.

 also, dont say mass hurts ATHLETICISM, thats insane, tell that to some of the football guys who went from 150 - 190 and got much faster, more explosive, and became 10x the players the were.  If you said it hurts, "vertical jump", you would still be wrong in several different ways, but youd have some ground to stand on at least.

So, when I do conventional style dead lifts, I try hard to keep my back straight, use my lower body/hips, and keep my shoulders pulled back/chest out.  How come recently, when I dead lift, like the middle of my back, like where my spine is, in between my shoulder blades, it gets uncomfortable and kinda hurts.  The pain is not that much, it just feels weird.  This is weird, because before I used to never feel anything on my upper back, only my lower back when I would perform with improper technique.  Anyone else experience this?

of course your low back muscles can't extend your hips, but they sure can take your upper body from parallel to the ground to perpendicular.
