I say go for it even though I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't own the set. Do what you can do, modify what you need to. You can always stop if it becomes too much. Just be careful with those heavy weights.
You'll have to let us know how things go as you proceed with the set.

Thanks, everyone — so many things to think about!
Love Fan of Lady Vols/Linda’s mention of doing a week of STS followed by a week of something else. This is very appealing, in part because I’d be wedded to Cathe every other week instead of every week. I actually like to spend an hour or so working out, so the length of the STS workouts wouldn’t be an issue. Age and experience have taught me to be careful with my weight selections and to improvise as needed. I love to experiment and to find creative ways to make workouts work for me. I think I’ll play with a few Cathe splits, including some of the STS workouts, and see whether and how I could make STS work for me.

Very strong, very muscular!
The results are so compelling that the last time I did it, about a year and a half ago, I tweaked my back halfway through Mesocycle 3, and couldn't make myself stop since I had so much time into it building up to the finale. Mesocycle 3 is by far my favorite part. I was in excruciating pain for about 3 weeks, worse than when I broke my heel or femur. My nerves were raw. But it did heal. And I learned the most valuable lesson you can about what can happen when you ignore pain.

i usually do individual workouts from a set as they fit into my current rotation rather than trying to do the entire set. therefore if certain ones are useful to you, then i would say keep the set, unless you are OK with trading the ones you dislike.
