Default Squat Rack's Strength

So I finally decided to do one of Rippetoe's programs. I actually decided to do Practical Programming Novice workout. But first a little about me. I really started lifting with a program that ended up being a weight loss program, but at least taught me some basics about working out and eating right. After finishing that, I was around 150lbs and probably like 10% BF. I had actually put on muscle, but at the same time lost a lot of weight and was too skinny!

Finally I started doing NROL and loved it. It was the first time deadlifting and doing proper squats/bench presses. By the end of I had actually gained a fair bit of weight and a lot of knowledge (I was now 167lbs). Then I dabbled with Muscle Revolution by Waterbury.

But now I finally want to do a strength program, so I decided on Rippetoe (not Starting Strength because I don't know how to Power Clean).

Anyway, my stats:
170lbs
1RM:
Bench Press 165
Squat 175
Deadlift 225
