Calves is a good idea. Unlikely to mess anything up.
Adding extra lower body volume to the bigger muscles is more of a ‘maybe’. If it impacts your ability to do other lifts then it might be an issue or it might just be further growth stimulus. I’d probably add some unilateral work in if it’s to support lower body growth (split squats are a favourite) and slowly increase the number of sets over time as you adapt rather than jumping in deep with it.

I'm back on 5x5 from October for 3 months or so. I've got absolutely no use for the bench press element and would rather swap in something lower body in the same way the B day has deads.
Any thoughts? Tempted to do thrusters or something glute focused as it's a particular weakness of mine.
Also, any issue with doing vanity calves every session, or this a stupid idea?
