What do you want power for?

 

[muskate]

For power - focus on explosive positive, and slow negatives.

E.g. for squats, lower slowly and then explode out of the hole

Well yes if you can move a weight fasst it will develop fast twitch muscle fibers in the muscle. Overall potentially improving overall power output.
