For a skinny beginner would this program be ok to use??
Yes. But with this addition: You have to do two-a-days. Each evening you do the program the way Dan John wrote it. Each morning, you do this one:
Lateral raise two cups of oats into a bowl. Superset this with peanut butter, whey, and honey. If your shoulders and traps aren’t burning after this superset, go back and add more reps by adding more oats and whey.
Forward press/row this mixture with a spoon. Do it for about 10-15 reps.
Upright row the bowl into the rack position (should be somewhere around your shoulder/chin height).
Cuban press a spoonful, but don’t go all the way over your head, just get it into your mouth. Rep out until the bowl is done. Then drop that on the floor like a pissed-off Branch Warren and go play Tekken until your evening workout (Recent studies suggest playing tekken after a hard workout increasing the uptake of awesomeness, and makes you a badass in 28% less time).

I read a similar study, only it cited Virtua Fighter as decreasing post-workout DOMS and decreasing the likelihood of Internet Fail.
Actually, I’m surprised you didn’t give arca a link to the Starting Strength plan:

I’d prefer it to the OLAD program, because I don’t feel that OLAD would develop as well-rounded a foundation. It’s just not enough work done in each workout, plus the set/rep scheme of OLAD lends itself to a more experienced trainee.
Arca, check out the program in the link above. It’s more appropriate for your situation (experience, beginning level, etc.)
Starting strength is great.
Do that instead.
