It's all about how you lift and how you train, to be fast you need to lift fast and train fast.
I disagree. While one obviously needs a large amount of sport specific training, this does not have to happen in the weight room. There is no need to "lift fast" if you want to be fast. The idea that powerlifters and bodybuilders are inherently "slow, stiff and sluggish" is a myth.
