so is it ok or not...?

This is a very mild version of the 5x5. The dual factor models have much more volume and are more aggressive..Ramping up to set new PR's within 3-4 weeks. Eventually, with any program, a week off or some other sort of deload protocol becomes necessary. I'd recommend you look into the DFT sticky at the single factor 5x5 model. It's a lot more intricate than this one, and IMO would be more effective at ramping you up to new PR's.
This one would be ideal for any beginner, hands down.
If I were to classify the different programs:
Beginner: Mark Rippetoe's one above
Intermediate: Single factor 5x5 as per the sticky. (page 5 or 6)
Advanced: AM's 5x5, John Smith's one, Madcow2's template..Found in sticky (pg. 1-2)
