[Routine Critique] Calisthenics athlete transitioning to a Hybrid Gym PPL (Aesthetics First, Strength Second) Day On / Day Off

Looking for some feedback on my new PPL program.

My Background & Stats:

Background: Primarily a calisthenics athlete. I built a solid foundation with pure bodyweight training (currently hitting 14 strict pull-ups, 25 decline push-ups, and good core compression).

The Problem: While calisthenics gave me good lat width and relative strength, it left me with clear aesthetic blind spots: the upper chest feels flat, also i have slightly rounded shoulders.

Stats: 17M / 176 cm (5'9") / 57 kg (125 lbs)

Goals: Aesthetics first, while keeping calisthenics strength second

Schedule: Rolling PPL (Day On / Day Off)

THE Program:

Push Day (Chest, Side Delts, Triceps)

Weighted push ups: 4 sets x 15 reps

Low incline DB Press (30°): 4 sets x 10–12 reps

Cable lateral raises: 4 sets x 12–15 reps

Cable chest flyes : 3 sets x 12–15 reps

Cable rope tricep pushdowns: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

Cable external rotations : 3 sets x 15 reps

Pull Day (Lats, Back Posture, Rear Delts, Arms)

Weighted pull up: 3 sets x 8–10 reps

Neutral grip lat pulldown: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

Chest supported DB or Machine Row: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

Cable face pulls: 3 sets x 15–20 reps

Incline DB curls to DB hammer curls: 3 sets x (8 + 8 reps)

Legs & Abs (Quads, Posterior Chain, Calves, Core)

Dumbbell bulgarian split squats: 3 sets x 8–10 reps per leg

Dumbbell romanian deadlifts: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

Leg press: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

Standing calf raises: 4 sets x 15–20 reps

Hanging leg raises: 3 sets x 10–15 reps

Seated Ab crunch machine: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

Specific Questions:

For lifters who transitioned from calisthenics to gym work, how does this volume and exercise selection look for fixing posture and building upper-body width?

Any redundant movements or obvious blind spots you would tweak while keeping the Day On / Day Off split?

Appreciate any feedback.

Where to find Tretinoin 0.025% (Retacnyl / Acretin) in Casablanca? (Out of stock everywhere)

I've been looking for a low dose Tretinoin cream (specifically 0.025% like Retacnyl or Acretin) for acne scars and blackheads

I checked around 15+ pharmacies and parapharmacies across Casablanca, but most tell me it's not available and some look at me like I’m asking for something illegal ist because im a little bit young??, and one only had the 0.05% version which is too harsh i think

Does anyone know a specific pharmacy or parapharmacy in Casa that currently has the 0.025% cream in stock?
