My only question is why on a lean mass building program does the program call for 10-20 reps and 4 sets? All of the programs I've seen use few reps and heavy weight in 3 sets (sometimes 5 for some football training programs)...

Beginners start with lesser no of repetitions. Moreover using heavy weights are for building greater muscle mass and not for losing fat (becoming leaner). You should not over-exercise which could lead to injuries.
