Lee Labrada's professional body dominated an era in bodybuilding before giants ruled the stage. He won contests through definition and balance rather than mind-blowing mass. At 5-foot-6, maybe 185 pounds, Lee's body had to approach toned perfection to compete with larger men.
His trick? Old-fashioned hard work. He trains hard whenever he's in the gym. There's no jovial exchanges, no lollygagging and very little rest. He lifts heavy weights with rapid movements. Rest is allowed only until the body stabilizes itself and your heart stops pounding on the inside of your ribs. Then, you go again, again and again.
He asks that you listen to your body, take rest when you need it, especially of you are new to weightlifting. There is no rush to go from flab to flex. Go at your own pace and eventually you will get stronger and be able to work faster, more intensely.
Engage in active rest, blast through rigorous cardio routines on your days off. But, get plenty of sleep and recover properly before you go back into the gym.
Your body will adapt to whatever you do, so keep changing your plans, adapt to your adaptations. Different stressors kickstart gains.

In the article is said "For biceps, triceps and calves, I do a TOTAL of 6-to-9 sets, 8-to-12 reps each."
...TOTAL of 6-9 sets not 6-9 sets per exercise(as it's written next to the exercise pics) -.- ;d

Definitely looks like a MRT type workout to me. Instead of resting between the sets, just cycle it. Another way to change up the workout while maintaining the intensity of it.
