    This program seems a bit incomplete, and also might be difficult to recover from with 3X/week squatting.

    Perhaps an Upper/Lower split would work better for you:

    If it was never opened and expired within the past couple of months it should be okay. If they opened the package at any time then I would not even consider it, and if it it expired more than three...

    If you want to store plates on the rack I would get an extension kit - the Titan ones usually fit on Rogue and Rep racks and are a pretty good value.
