lol research would indicate Gaspari Halodrol liquigel caps are dhea.... therefore competitive edge is the one you would go with....

I recommend this:
Monday:
- Chest/Upper Back
- Shoulders/Lats
- Triceps/Traps
- Abs
- 30 mins cardio
Tuesday:
Wednesday:
Cardio
Thursday: Same as monday, but with a different rep scheme
Friday: Same as tuesday, but with a different rep scheme
and then repeat each week.. Might want to try undulating periodization for the rep scheme.. So, Monday and tuesday = 3 sets of 10... weds and thursday = 5 sets of 5... and then the following monday and tuesday = 4 sets of 8... and then repeat the cycle.

Which work out? You would be suprised what the body will adapt to.
The biggest thing is going to be his experience and current strength levels. If you are relatively a beginner you can get by with a much more frequent training schedule. Once you get more advanced (heavier weight) you are going to need more recovery time. Since Heavy is a relative term one method to gauge it is by your squat. When you can squat 1.5x your body weight, with proper form, more than likely you are no longer a beginner.
What Ozarka lined out could work very well for you. The reason for the changes in the rep scheme is to get the different hypertrophy to induce increases in both strength and mass. 1-3 reps @ 90-100% 1RM=strength,8-12 reps @ 60-70% 1RM=mass, 5-8 reps is the best of both worlds.
Stick with compound exercises that work multiple muscles at once and strive to add weight each time you go to the gym.
If you are a beginner look at using a reputated program rather than designing your own. I would recommend something like the Bill Starr 5x5 or Poloquin's GVT. You can google either and find lots of info on them.

define "gaining", size, strength, power? Does he keep a log to see where he is still progrssing and where he isnt?
Have him take a look at the stronglifts.com 5x5 intermediate program. Get him to run that for 8 weeks and see what he thinks. There is also a 5x5 that was developed at the Eclipse Gyms in Manilla he can look at. Similar programs but the Eclipse recommends doing a cycle of GVT after the 5x5. These are the two I would focus on first. In fact they are what I am doing
