    I wouldnt skip any body parts, but you can put more effort into lagging or your favorites. The main issue here is that I would like to see squats in your routine. If you don't compete, don't care, and/or have good legs you can cut other [upper] leg fluff. Squats are great for systemic growth and you can find ways to make them much harder with lower weights like pausing at the bottom, slow eccentric, etc. Putting effort into this will accelerate your upper body and overall growth as well as being a more complete physique.

    Calves are notoriously difficult to grow without genetic predisposition. I have strong, but fairly small calves. My quads are jacked and probably my best body part actually. In powerlifting, calves don't matter much (but I still train them); but some people get obsessed with them, like Rich Piana. He wore high top shoes and boots which have an effect of making calves look bigger as well.

    Utter maniac…

    I’m sure he denies it even in the afterlife, but I’m sure he had synthol in his bi’s and his calves (his admittedly weakest parts).

    RIP

    Saw a video of him. He said he'd tried synthol, but hated it. Said it made his muscles hurt so bad it was too painful to even work out.
