I think there is adequate tricept work because of their use in other associated lifts, not so much as isolation exercises.
With the squats, I find with me,( everyone's different, especially with recovery, that's why the first week is kind of familiarization to the lifts and weight loads) that come time to do workout 4 my legs have had it and 8-12 reps finishes them off pretty good.
As said everyone is different and I would suggest sticking to the routine as written, run it's 4 week course and re -evaluate. If you perform all exercises as described and concentrate on form and complete range of motion for each lift you will feel every muscle you've targeted on that day, if you don't then when you adjust after the 4 week period you can adjust it accordingly but I use this routine and can vouch for it's balanced structure.
