I was wondering what the proper way to peak with weights is.  I have read you can peak by going very heavy toward the end with low volume or going very light and doing high speed of movement.  Are both of those valid for peaking?  When would you use the high intensity lifting type of peak vs. the lifting for speed for peaking?  Does a certain program cater to one or the other?  Thank you for your time.

Both are valid methods. I've used both successfully. The important factors are how you match things up on the track and in other aspects of the training and what you did in the months prior to the peaking phase.
