Correct. Do all 5 or 3 sets of each exercise then move on to the next. Use enough weight to make the last reps almost-fail. Increase the weight by a small amount as the exercises get easy to do. This is a slower strength progression than 5x5 beginner programs, but it should give more bulk.
One exception, the shoulder day is based loosely on a "superset" where you do one set of each of the three exercises (1x8 lateral raise, 1x8 front lateral raise, 1x10 overhead press) back to back without rest. Then wait for about 90 seconds, and repeat. When done right, it should be pretty intensive, and hard to lift the protein shake to your mouth afterwards. You will get a good 'pump' from this, and it will give some moderate strength gains to all three of the major shoulder areas.
Its important to get these shoulders big because they will give a visible size increase, but they will also help keep the shoulder ligaments and joints safe as you progress to higher weights on the bench press.
