The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is, when you are lifting, instead of doing ....hmm, I think you said dead lift cleans, try power cleans. Instead of just lifting the bar, lift the bar, rounding the bar up to your collar bone, and as you round it up, do a little power jump inbetween. Making sure each power clean is controled, but quick and explosive. That will help with getting your quickness down on that type of excerise anyway. You are still lifting, but adding jump and speed. I used to do these when I was on the track team for high jumping.
