How much can I broaden my shoulders?

Edit Post

My proportions look a bit strange when I add more than 8CM and I never could figure out exactly why. I used to think it was my arms lenght, and then my torso but I think I finally got it -my shoulders are too small. I look very good with longer legs and wider shoulders, which is a relief because my shoulder muscles can be built. The question is: how much?

Is it possible to add 5CM in extra width on each shoulder, or is that an unrealistic goal?

-To clarify, I feel like horizontal width is important not so much overall size.

there are deltoid muscle implants.. but they don't affect wingspan..
search dr chung in korea.. he does submuscular silicone implants (i think hes one of the few or the only one in korea who does it) but I think its silly cos' if you train it will become larger.
I think filler injection might be dangerous - risk of intravascular injection

I don't think muscle implants are my cup of tea, but thanks anyway.

You can broaden your shoulders up to 5 or more cm with weight training (gym), I know this because I love bodybuilding and shoulder width is a widely talked topic you could search it yourself if you want, but it requires lots of training and time, but forget those implants if you don't want to train to clavicle lengthening that has already showed some success.

How long is your neck? Wide shoulders sound appealing but not if your neck is short and stocky.

The neck doesn't matter at all, well if that counted it would stop alot of people from lifting just because their necks were thin, you can make your neck look big if you work on the trapezius. BUT attention you will look wider but your wingspan will remain unaffected but you certainly will look better if you are taller, but try to work every muscle in your body because you dont want to seem weird like having big and toned shoulders and then the rest of the body weak.

swim, schwimmen
It really help. Most of my windspan (8cm larger than my height) come from my shoulders thanks to swimming

The idea is to add some width to go along with the increased height. I believe my main issue, proportions wise, is that I have a relatively small frame. Wider shoulders, as in strictly horizontaly, allows me to carry a large increase in my legs. Obviously I plan to stay fit overall, but width is a crucial part in making my proportions look good post-lenghtening.

If I was for you I would bet in the gym is the best for you my friend, and you will be healthier and stronger and better looking overall.
