I've been lifting for 3 months and my shoulders haven't gotten longer/broader. I man they're thicker and stronger looking but not like the guy on the right. Are my shoulders just going to continue to get tougher but not longer?
Is the size I'm stuck with my entire life?
Jaxson Turner
it's gonna take longer than 3 months
Dylan Torres
You're building muscle, not changing the shape of your skeleton. You can do lateral raises and pull ups to give yourself more of a taper, and good posture might help a little, but that's about all you can do.
William Butler
Is that a yes? Then if so how did pic related do it?
How much?
Cooper Phillips
You need to understand that you're not just gonna "get" a good physique dude... You will achieve it through dedicated programming and time. There is no set amount of time. You could work out for 3 years, and bulk/cut the same 10 lbs over and over again.
You decide how long it'll take.

IF YOU WANT TO BE CHAD, YOU NEED CHAD GENETICS.
WHILE YOU DO LATERAL RAISES IN AN ATTEMPT TO COMPENSATE FOR YOUR GENETICALLY INFERIOR FRAME, CHAD EATS PIZZA.
Andrew Cruz
Pic related i soverly reliant on genetics however isn't it? He doesn't seem that big.
Brayden Diaz
* is overly
Typo

The answer is
go fuck yourself for making two threads about the same thing
You cannot change your shoulders (frame). Add muscle, sure, but your shoulders are not going to get "longer" as you put it. You're done.
Cooper Hughes
If you look hard enough at that picture you'll see how much lats and posture that exhibits lats produces the illusion of wider shoulders. Hit the pull up bar
Owen Martin
Broader shoulders is a more manly trait rather than narrow shoulders, which is a more feminine trait. The easiest way to spot male to female transgender traps is to look at how wide their shoulders are. If them shoulders are wide than that was a man at one point.

>wide grip rows >wide grip lat pull downs >wide grip behind the neck pull downs >wide grip pullups >lay off the fucking shrugs >lots of lateral and side raises >chest flyes, lots and lots of chest flyes
this isnt rocket science, and yes depending on your diet you can see results after 3-6 months
Ayden Ross
>lay off the shrugs
top lel, the guy in op's pic would look decent if his traps weren't of comical proportions
god bless taylor west, the trainer at a 24 hour fitness in santa cruz who's instructions helped me gain 15-20 lbs of muscle without injuries. sure, I don't go as low as people always want me to with chest press, but I don't give a fuck, I lift for me and whenever I go low I hurt myself. my elbows are never going past 90 degrees ever again
op it isn't rocket science. literally just do a bro split
Cameron Hughes
PULLUPS CHINUPS INVERTED ROWS
I HAVE A GOD TIER BACK BUT ARMS ARE SKELETAL
JUST END ME
Christopher Campbell
OHS, not enough OverHead Squat
Tyler Williams

Cooper Carter
u can see how wide his clavicles are, the wider the clavicles the wider shoulder potential you have if u look at left he has extremely weird clavicles
Julian Allen
do fucking curls and wrist curls and hammer curls
u fuck
Evan Nguyen
Someone post the full pic of the dude on right so everyone can see how unfortunate his hips are
Jacob Roberts
Lats and traps makes big frames boys.
Connor Evans
You can't "build" broad shoulders, they're genetic, it's a result of bone structure not muscle.
Isaiah Scott
I have the exact same upper body frame as the guy on the right. Is it good? im very self-conscious about not having smaller hips. Is that frame still good?
Carter Gray
>the exact same Post em boi cause those are one in a million genetics and we'd all love to mire.
> about not having smaller hips. You can work on that by having a decent core. >Is that frame still good? It's phenomenal.
Connor Carter
The picture on the right is edited.
Kayden Gutierrez
Stop posting this picture it's fucking bullshit
Easton Long
Pic related and this aren't tho
Joseph Wood
lol this guy has 0 muscle mass, it's just low bf
William Rodriguez
Im still dyel. I just mean't that I have same frame and i would look like him after x years of working out.
Leo Sanchez
>and i would look like him after x years of working out. And how do you know this?
Brandon Bennett
well because same frame and insertions
Sebastian Wood
>well because same frame and insertions You can't say what you think you'll be like unless you dad looks exactly fucking like that.
Nicholas Morales
ok sry.
Nathaniel Lewis
But my dad used to look like that when he was 20
Josiah Price
Your dysmorphia is showing. That's the perfect body.
Chase Howard
its because the right pic is stretched out
if its not then im gonna need his head routine
Gabriel Kelly
In your opinion....but m gonna agree with he other dude he isn't big it's just he's lean
Hunter Rivera
I'm pretty sure adding lots of mass can definitely at least create the illusion.
Compare this picture of current CYC at 120kg to when he was at his heaviest. Or Zydrunas Savickas pre- and post-weight loss.
Elijah Martinez
Am I the only one who things guy on the left has more desirable physique? Dude looks strong as fuck, looks like wrestler or some shit. Mass in the right places. Right one has that classic "only sports I've ever done is gym".
Andrew Flores
He does lack a little bit in his lats, dont he?
Luis Wilson
How the fuck do you get calves like that
Joshua Nguyen
Be a thicc manlet and squat 390kg apparently.
Mason Gonzalez
Dude on the left has that TRT Wanderlei Silva-physique
Zachary Johnson
Jesus christ that's literally me if i didn't under train abs. I'm never doing a plank again.
Luke Scott
Left looks like a butthurt manlet right looks like Chad who does 20 pushups sometimes
Lucas Howard
He's definitely beyond 1-2-3-4 user If he's natty, he's near his limit You're being unreasonable
Joseph Parker
tfw when 6'2" with wide shoulders
Jason Bailey
explain
Kevin Hall
Explain? His FRAME is just like mine But with more abdominal mass His abs look gross Do not want
Thomas Wright
but planks gave him this? More likely he just didn't deadlift enough
Cooper Gonzalez
Adding more workouts wouldn't fix his broad hips/oblique inserts If anything they would make them wider
Tyler Lopez
deadlifts give you mass between your ribcage and hips
Evan Diaz
Then he would look like one of those weirdly broad roman statues That's unaesthetic
Isaiah Phillips
Arnie had that type of frame
Evan Hill
No he didn't He had a broad chest and shoulders and a small waist
Jackson Adams
frame is a big determining factor. but you can get incredibly wide through lifting. theres this huge dude at my gym who's like 250 who's wide as a door and he was doing side raises with 55-60lb dumbells and pressing the 120lb just build your shoulders, eat like a pig, and the results will come
Cameron Hughes
you can made yourself wide by working your back and shoulders. everyone knows this. dyel?
