I don't believe the HLM format you outlined will benefit someone lifting only 2 times a week. Best bet is to go with something similar to what Off Road posted above (Jim's full body 5/3/1) or something similar to Wendler's 5/3/1 2x Week template:

Day 1 - Squat 5/3/1, Bench 5/3/1, and some assistance work
Day 2 - Deadlift 5/3/1, Press 5/3/1, and some assistance work.

Don't have to use 5/3/1 but stick with the basic template/format.
