This allows the pushing body part (chest) to recover slightly while the pulling part (back) is working, and vice versa. Meaning, you do one chest exercise of max reps, then move to a back exercise that is also max reps.
The whole workout is 12 compound movements, involving multiple joints, performed in a modified circuit.

The goal of the is to work to “failure”. When you workout alone, staying motivated is critical and Tony does a good job here.
