Do you HAVE to do compound lifts?
I train in the typical bodybuilder style, with the goal always to gain strength/look like I lift. However, I am also suffering from pretty severe mental illness right now (anxiety/depression) and I think that doing compound lifts at the start of my workout may be overworking my CNS, as I keep going through bouts of extreme fatigue. I don't mind benching, but I find that deadlifting and squatting really take it out of me, and I don't really enjoy the movements. Is it still possible to progress without these lifts?
