It's a good program.
I wouldn't keep what you have though. It's too much for your first few weeks. I'd start off with maybe 5 exercises for the first two weeks of 12-15 reps, then as the reps decrease, you could add a few weakpoint exercises.
If I was to do HST, this is exactly how I would run it. I call it, "Anti-OCD Programming."
First, during the first two week mesocycle, I would only run ONE week of the 15's. That would be strictly compound exclusive.
15 rep mesocycle - 1 week
Squat - 1-2 sets
Bench - 1-2 sets
Rows - 1-2 sets
Calves - 3 sets
10 rep mesocycle - 2-3 weeks
For the 10 rep mesocycle, I would stick to two seperate workouts from here on out. Alternate full body work - A, B, A.... B, A, B. This does two things. First, it keeps the daily volume way down so you won't be running around doing eight different exercises like you have. Second, it yields the potential of squeezing out another week of 10's before you drop down to the 5's.
Workout A -
Emphasis on quads, anterior delts, lat width, biceps
squats
bench press
shoulder press
chin ups
barbell curls
Workout B -
Emphasis on hamstrings, medial delts, back thickness, triceps
deadlifts (or variation such as SLDL, RDL, ect)
incline db press
upright rows
barbell rows
triceps extensions
5 rep mesocycle - 3-4 weeks
5 rep mesocycle, I like to add one, maybe two weakpoint exercises to each workout that needs some extra attention. The main compounds listed above get 3 sets. Weakpoint training gets 1, possibly 2 sets IF you can handle it.
Workout A -
Emphasis on quads, anterior delts, lat width, biceps
squats
bench press
flyes
shoulder press
chin ups
pullovers
barbell curls
Workout B -
Emphasis on hamstrings, medial delts, back thickness, triceps
deadlifts (or variation such as SLDL, RDL, ect)
gluteham raise
incline db press
dips
upright rows
barbell rows
triceps extensions

In closing, if you ARE going to do the program, you'll obviously need to know about where your 15, 10, and 5 rep maxes are for every exercise. Secondly, the only knock I have against this program is the need for strategic deconditioning. It's like a half-assed reward for "making it through". So whatever strength gains you made during the 5's pretty much gets lost in translation during your 10-14 day SD that follows.
With that in mind, my advice is to run the program exactly as written. Get through the SD (I'd do a minimum of 10 days), then get through the entire program. Once you top off during the 5's, dump the program altogether and work on getting stronger.
