Hi,

Is this a good workout for beginners?

Thanks

Looks oke. I'd change a few things, but it's decent.

Didn't it say 8 sets, 3 reps for Bench and OH BB Press?

If so, for a beginner I'd switch that around. 3 sets of 8 reps.

Is this your very first program? If so, I'd follow the stickies first.

I think overall the exercise selection is decent, but as a beginner I wouldn't be using my 5RM. That's just overkill. You'll get great results using lower intensity weights while building up connective tissue strength and honing in on good form.
