It doesn't sound that good to me. Even if they are on a 4 day week, and doing a large bodypart they will only be doing 8 sets (if I'm interpreting it properly). That doesn't sound like enough to me, unless they're doing excessively high repetitions. I generally work from the principle that the muscles must be stressed (i.e. microscopic tears) in order to be stimulated to grow, and it doesn't sound like this would encourage that level of exertion. It's fine for building a little strength and overall fitness, but probably not for building significant noticable mass. (my $.02)
