Overall, good information. Let me add to it.
The Ascending Deadlift Strength Curve
A Heavy Deadlifts is slow, grinding.
The Deadlift fall into the Ascending Strength Curve Category.
Movement in the bottom part of an Ascending Strength Curve Movement is hard at the bottom and become easier as you move the bar higher, ascends.
That means overloading occurs in the bottom part of an Ascending Strength Curve Movement. As the bar move higher toward lockout, less loading occurs; the muscle involved are under loaded.
Variable Resistance Exercise: A Biomechanical Approach To Muscular Training
Dr Gideon B Ariel, PhD
"In conventional resistance exercise, the loads are moved through a range of motion. The load remains constant throughout the motion but the muscular force is not constant because of the modifying effects of the lever system throughout the range of motion."
Ariel found the the muscles are overloaded during approximately 30% of the movement and under loaded during the remaining 70%.
Overloading The Deadlift Through A Greater Range of Motion
For someone interested in learning to grind and Range of Motion and to Overload The Muscle involved through the Full Range of The Movement; attaching Bands and/or Chains is required.
Power Deadlifts (misnomer, "Speed Deadlifts")
Power Deadlifts using load of 48 - 62% of your 1 Repetition Max combined with CAT (Compensatory Acceleration Training) ensure Power is developed and the muscles involved are overloaded through a greater Range Of The Movement.
The Golgi Tendon Organ
It is a proprioceptive sensory receptor organ that senses changes in muscle tension.
The Golgi Tendon acts like a electrical breaker switch at your house. If the circuit is overloaded and draws too much power for the circuit to safely handle, it trips the breaker switch turning off the electricity.
"Reprogramming The Golgi Tendon Reflex"
The key to ensuring the Golgi Tendon does not, metaphorically speaking, turn off the electricity is to rewire the Golgi Tendon so that a much greater load (greater amount of muscle tension) is required before it shuts down.
Metaphorically speaking again, to rewire the Golgi Tendon so that is does not shut down is accomplished by increasing Limit Strength, lifting heavier load.
The Golgi Tendon is somewhat like an over protective Mommy.
Light, Moderate and Heavy Swings
Speed and Power are best developed with a variety of Kettlebell Swing Loads.
Information that I previously posted on Varying Exercises to increase Limit Strength also applies to Varying Kettlebell Swing Load.

A DL is a grind. You have to sustain tension through a longer time and range of motion.

A big part of learning to deadlift well is learning to grind--generating high tension and then keeping it turned on long enough to complete the lift.

...your body has a fail-safe reflex that will try to shut the tension down. You have to learn to override this reflex to be disinhibited from expressing your strength.
