His frustration was
His frustration was over the fact that in over 3 years of working out and lifting weights, his physique had changed only minimally and his lifts were not much better than when he had started.
I had been watching him and sometimes working out with him for a couple of years so I was aware of his training style: On chest days he would typically start off with some warm-up reps and then would get started on the flat bench. He would usually pyramid up from a starting weight where he would do 12-15 reps and typically would finish at about 4 reps on his sixth set!
Then, he’d usually go to the incline bench, grab the heaviest weight he could handle for 5 or 6 reps and would do another 4 sets with that.
