Weight Training for Track and Field

In Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Track and Field, pages 125-136 of there is a program, with progressing levels shown for endurance/fat burning training, first for beginners and then for more advanced exercisers. Following this on pages 136 - 148 programs for power/general fitness training, with a number of different routines, e.g. every other day, split, agonistic, antagonistic, synergistic. And finally there are strength programs provided also with variation in the routine. What is the first difference (training variable) that you notice between these three programs? Is there anything that you would do differently between these two programs? Why? Can you spot the exercise that would more than likely be too difficult for novice exercisers in these programs? How would you suggest novices proceed when beginning a weight training program in relation to these programs in the readings and are there any modifications you would make to them? Explain your answer.
