I don't think the routine is suppose to have that many auxilliary sets. It's basically 5x5, then 2x8-10 for two ancilliary exercises.

You seem to be lacking a 5x5 for your triceps. Maybe drop some of those tricep bench exercises for dips or pulldowns?

For me, calves get their own 5x5 (though no anciliary).

I know I am not suppose to have that many sets, but I don't feel that the 2 extra sets are enough, so I changed it up for my own needs. And 5x5 for calves would be a waste for me because I train calves explosive.

If you need more than 9 sets then no, you're not getting the gist of 5x5. You're not training at a high enough intensity, so you have to add more sets to get a good workout.
