Maria, the medications this patient uses (Lisinopril,
Lipitor) present no contraindications for anaerobic
work and if anything may improve this man's ability to
work harder. However there is a very important
caveat. The reasons he is taking these medications
are because he has hypertension and hypercholesterol
and therefore once presume that there is a certain
degree of atherosclerosis.
Not knowing this person's overall medical condition or
history it would be impossible for me to state that
increasing the intensity of his exercise is safe for
him (I am not saying it is unsafe).
I would at least recommend he get clearance from his
prescribing physician.

These drugs will not affect his heart rate. The only
class of blood pressure drugs which will affect heart
rate are beta blockers.
These are no longer considered first line in the
treatment of hypertension.
As for a website you might consider starting with
