46 kg on the bar + 1 jump stretch mini band per side (pink)
10 sets*3, one min rest (3 wide, 3 medium, 4 close grips)

2. Hanging KBs Bench Press*
56 kg on the bar + 16 kg KB per side (88 kg total weight + the fuzz!!)

I'm done and pretty much satisfied, with the new PR on the over-head press at 71 kg, and nearly hitting the 76 kg I'm really happy and makes me believe I will easily exceed my target of 100 % BW by end of this year :)

* Hanging KB Bench Press is one amazing movement that challenges oneself's pressing-ability and puts a lot of stress on the stabilizing muscles in the shoulder and pectoral areas, the KBs hanged from each side with a rubber resistance band shakes like crazy during the ascend and descend increasing the weight felt beyond the actual weight and strengthens the stabilizing muscles on its way.
