Couplets are either agonist/antagonist, unrelated, or overload. I see a bit more sense now in that I overlooked one of the agonist/antagonist pairings, and I that they are apparently avoided in phase I.

What struck me as odd is that the unrelated pairings seem to be fit a couple of patterns (beyond upper/lower).

Also, deads are a weird choice for overloading with a row because your upper back is providing stability and only transfering the load in the deadlift-- that is, you aren't building fatigue by moving from one method of contraction to another, but fatiguing with a row, and then expecting stability.

Couple other things, but I'm gonna leave it there.

edit: Btw, The total number of exercises seems overwhelming, but I suspect it isn't when you consider there are three distinct phases there.

edit #2: (I should say) The deads/rows isn't exactly an overload because back isn't the target of deads; still, I think/hope I'm being clear.
