Weight lifters are not inherently fast and in many cases are slow. In a foot race, I'd take a chunky lineman over a stacked lifter.
You should read my post again. I said "quick", not "fast". Also, I said *COMPETITIVE* weight lifters...not the bozos down at the gym (and I am one of those bozos) who lift weight in order to build strength.
Competitive weight lifting requires extremely quick feet. Competitive weight lifters have much quicker feet than any football lineman.

I appreciate you bringing this issue up. However, it is pretty clear by looking at *COMPETITIVE* weight lifters that they use the techniques you are discussing.
