I've seen see lots of videos of people doing kettlebell deadlifts, but these kettlebells are relatively low weights compared to what many people are capable of deadlifting, for example I just did a search on this forum and read a thread where people discussed swinging 32 36 & 40 kg kettlebells and deadlifting 400lbs.
My question is ....... Are kettlebell deadlifts done in a cunning way that somehow gives the person who can deadlift 400lb barbells a significant challenge without using a 400lb kettlebell ?
I've got 20 24 and a 28kg kettlebell on the way, (I am 80kg) - I have never tried a serious deadlift with a barbell in a gym but I've done simple gradual incremental experiments at home by putting kettlebells on one end of railway sleeper at home and ended up "deadlifting" 108kg like that to see what it felt like.
Should I be able to just use the 28kg and do the deadift in a way that would supply the same challenge ? ie slooooowly with crushing grip ?
I've recently seen people quoting Pavel as saying a healthy male should be able to deadlift 2x bodyweight
Any books videos websites previous discussions etc you can recommend please ?
