From the AKC, (NOT the American Kennel Club), but the American Kettlebell Club, comes this video of a 66 year old, 200 lb man deadlifting 450 lbs, easily. I can’t even do that now at 52, so I have time to “beat that” by the time I hit 66!

I went light today, but it was enough to make me go take a nap afterwards, which I thoroughly enjoyed, thank you very much!

I warmed up with AbMat sit-ups, back extensions, push-ups, snatch drops, snatch lands, snatches and some overhead squats.

Going up a level, I did snatch grip deadlifts while standing on a plastic Step Reebok platform, (I knew they were good for something). Those lifts were 155×3/200×3/200×3.

I alternated between,

Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs): 5×135x10.
Bench Press: 95×10/135×10/155×5/175×5/195×5/205×5.

Some day, like my dogs, I too might be AKC registered. Seriously, that group has got hellacious ways to train with kettlebells.
