How bad is it if I slack off on accessories? (lemmy.world)

Recently got back into the gym and feel absolutely wiped after about 4 lifts. Lately I've been doing an A/B style routine where:

Workout A: Squat, bench, RDL, row.
Workout B: Deadlift, OHP, leg press, lat pulldown

Now I'm not asking for program critique, but I'm wondering if it's okay to not do more accessories?

You make a good point. For accessories I want to do more pressing since I feel it's difficult to progress in that lift and more adductor/abductor work to strengthen my knees. And more core work never hurts. Tbh though these are all just "icing on the cake" as long as I'm hitting the big compounds.

Guess I just wish my body allowed me to do more, haha. Thanks!
