A couple of months ago I switched to the big lifts: squats, deadlifts and bench presses (and OHPs, rows, and lat pull downs).

I am exhausted after the big three lifts. Breathing is the most difficult part when squatting. I am tired afterwards. How do you still find enough energy to do accessories?

I am also still learning the lifts. It's incredible how long it takes to master them.

Split them up. I would not tax every part of my nervous system like that every session.

I could programm it differently and only do each lift only once per week. Squat in one session and leg machine in the other session.

I only hit legs once per week because the muscles are so large.

Sureley there are other groups to hit? OHP, arms, back, etc.
