There's more to muscular growth than weight x volume. Hypertrophy can and does occur in times without increased workloads, and will continue to happen in those times until said workloads are no longer sufficient to stimulate growth. Stagnation, or even just painfully slow progress in strength =/= stagnation or slow progress in hypertrophy. If you're doing 3x12 with a specific 4:0:3:1 tempo and 75sec rest between sets, you might get great hypertrophic results from that exercise, but it'll be a horrendous exercise to improve performance on, because of the combination of higher reps, strict rest and lifting tempo. Just like how if you're doing 5x3 with as much speed as is possible to control and as much rest as you need between sets before you can go again, your performance will improve quite rapidly, while you probably won't gain any more muscle than the guy doing 3x12/4:0:3:1/75sec on the same lift (in fact you might gain even less muscle in the same training period depending on experience, because by the time you've done 15 reps total, the other guy's done 36 reps of that exercise plus 36 reps of another 2 or 3 exercises).
