as you can see i'm trying to bulk, but not too seriously at the moment. i'm trying to focus mostly on arms and calves bcuz those are the scawniest parts of me right now.

its weird i have good proportionate quads and hamstrings, but tiny calves (blame it on genetics). i'm pretty satisfied with my chest and back but my arms are also small too.

is doing 5x5 bench and shoulder press in the same day ok? i put calves in the middle so my upperbody can get some rest.

The few things that jump out at me are...

-cable flys: IMO you dont need to isolate the chest with this movement. instead try chest dips or incline press.

-front raises: your front delts are being worked enouugh with shoulder presses. i would do reverse flys and/or laterals instead so you hit all 3 deltoid heads.

-more back work: i would add a pulldown movement such at pullups, chins, or lat pulldowns(machine).

-auxillary work for biceps/triceps: i dont think it would be a bad thing to add a few sets of isolation exercises for your arms. try doing 2-3 sets of curls(biceps) and exstensions(triceps) at the end of your workouts. do the tricep work on chest day and bicep work on back day.
