Not bad! 15-lb jump on bench press (though I was drifting to and pushing hard with the right side on the top set of 175); 20-lb jump on squat. I'm especially happy with the squat because it came after benching, so I was working at a 5-10% strength deficit.

Two days ago I squatted 175 for a triple followed by two singles. I got four straight with 195 today. I rested a little before the fourth. Still, it's a legitimate 20-lb jump. And just two days apart!

I have to report that I'm keeping the usually troublesome right leg in the movement better than ever. There is some good coming out of this forced reset. Right leg shrunk more than the left because the innervation there is weaker. But it's get closer to the size of the left after just a week of training because I'm forcing it to work.
