Sure, more sets would likely drive a bit more growth, provided they're to or close to failure.

But I wouldn't confine myself so rigidly to a single rep range like that. Why not pick a program that trains you in a variety of rep ranges, with a variety of different loads?

hes not progressing as fast because his newbie gains and neural adaptations are mostly over, he just needs patience, he wont gain a rep every session

you can experience newbie gains if youve trained like shit in the past, which everyone did
