Well, then he should try a HST 3 times a week routine IMO.
Make sure to have very little rest between sets during the first weeks during the minicycles (15's,10's,8's,5's and 3 plus drop/or neg 5's).
Stick with 7-10 excersises, exchanging a few between every other workout. Eg Side lateral raises - shoulder presses, DB's.
