The objective of this workout is to get a good total upper body workout in less time.  Instead of taking a break after each exercise, you combine it with an exercise that works a different body part, allowing you to do two exercises back to back without fatiguing the muscles excessively.  Essentially, while one muscle group takes a break, the other is working.  Each upper body area, back, shoulders, chest, biceps and triceps, are all worked twice with two different exercises.
