  Ever since I started on my new program, I can't press 70kg no more...
  
  Need some time to adjust...

  Yes,I did weighted pullups and squats before this.
  
  I can probably press 5-7.5kg more I am fresh.

  I think more like 80kg fresh.

  I might manage 1 rep of 80kg if I'm fresh
  
  Try benching heavy 6 sets before this and another 5 sets of military press before reaching the 70kg...on top of other movements...not fun
