Drop the curls, only do narrow grip pulldowns, get rid of the calf work. You don't need to do all that extra stuff yet. Right now, focus on increasing your squat, bench. Instead of wide grip pulldowns, do some type of row for your back - preferrably bentover row, but you could do a seated row if you have to. Stick to the big compounds and it will be easier to setup the weights for your cycle. Also, sticking to the compounds will help you bring up your strength a bunch.
I would also forget about the decline bench press. You are already doing one type of bench and dips, which should be enough.

So... if it were me, my cycle would look something like:

15s

Squats
80 85 90 95 100 100

Bench
60 65 70 75 80 80

Pulldown
50 55 60 65 70 70

Upright Row
15 20 25 25 30 30

Dips
bodyweight or whatever

Cable Crunches
whatever weight

I think you could do with replacing the upright row with an overhead press. Or you could consider alternating the pulldowns with bentover rows, upright rows with overhead press, squats with deads. Don't bother with the bicep or tricep work, all the other stuff should work them sufficiently for now.
