5/3/1 is good, but it's not a novice programme. It's more intermediate. I started on 5/3/1 and did OK but would have got stronger faster at the start of my lifting if I had followed the Novice Linear Progression in Starting Strength.

One the "newbie (strength) gains" are tapped out though 5/3/1 is an excellent programme.

I've also seen older people use 5/3/1 when they are unable to recover as quickly from linear progression routines.
