I think you might be confusing fast twitch muscle fibers with quickness in lifting.
I was always told to go your own pace when lifting, dont rush yourself by jerking the weights around as that will just hurt you.

If you want to lift to build mass, you want to do less reps with more weight.
More reps with less weight will tone. Football offseason ment 125% of what you can to normally 3-4 sets of 10-12, but do 2-3 sets of about 6-8 reps.
