He's doing Max-OT TAURUS, too many rest days. Doing Max-OT, you hit your heaviest lifts with only 6-9 total sets per day. Pairing muscles in this case isn't beneficial. Since I stuck to Max-OT by the book, 5 days, I blew up (Max-OT journal) Wondermonkey is doing Max-OT so he shouldn't pair up like that. It would be fine for a regular program, but not if he's applying Max-OT principles.
BTW, for the example workout, I definately wouldn't recommend doing back/tricep before chest because you need your back strong to help stabilize the barbell for bench and you also need your triceps fresh so you can lift maximum poundage for chest. If I did that, my bench would drop at least 20 pounds. ;)
