It depends on what percentage of his 1rm he's doing. I use 531 and it's based off a training max which is 90% of your 1rm. You never lift heavier than about 85% of your 1rm on the program because doing so is heavily taxing on your CNS. Unless he is using PEDs he probably won't last long-term if he's lifting close to his 1rm twice a week.

It's actually very bad advice, do not do this. All of the literature will plainly tell you this is a bad idea.

Any recommendations on where to start with that? As someone who started with front-end because it was the easiest to jump into right away, and is now already sick of it, I'd appreciate the help transitioning to back-end. I have some PHP experience and a touch of SQL experience.
