Afternoon:

Kettlebell press - (16kgx5 30 second rest 16kgx5)x4

Deadlift - (100x5, 155x5)x4

Barbell curl - 50lbs 3x5

A little experiment here with kettlbell presses. I did some pressing yesterday just to get a sense of where I was at. I hit singles on each arm with 20kg, 24kg and 28kg. All good solid strict presses.

The presses in this routine though don't look like they will work the same as the barbell bench. Just the two sets of 16kg presses were harder than the bench sets I was hitting. I don't think I would be able to hit any presses with the 20kg bell on the heavy days after the two 16kg sets. Felt great to do though and I may just mix them in on my medium or light day to get some single arm overhead work started.
