Is it possible to grow "width" wise (shoulders)

Edit Post

There are only 4 ways to make your shoulders broader.
 if you feel your shoulders could be wider there's some options.
1. Go to the gym and start lifting to widen your upper body. Add as much muscle mass + Testosterone
2. Add implants to your delts to give the illusion to broader shoulders
3. Fat transfer from other parts of the body to shoulders (this is common among body builders-only go for top plastic surgerons for this)

4. Clavicle lengthening is the final. The widening the bone kind of like leg-lengthening but for the clavicle. Only two doctors I think do it. Dr Eppley and Dr. Leif from Beverly Hills
apparently clavicle surgery is common among females who want to shorten but the opposite can be done. It does leave a scar unless you take care of that immediately and is diligent with minimizing

You should try to add bulk regardless you get the surgery or not

Thank you for the nice information Sky,

I think clavicle lengthening would be extremely dangerous so I don't think I'd ever do it. But at least you understood what I want unlike the other people. I don't want an actual "broad shoulders" I want an actual "long clavicle" so my shoulders would be broad. But seems like we can't do anything except putting weight on as ghkid said. But that's not practical, as he also said which I agree.

Of course it’s going to work. I was super skinny as a teenager. When I was 21, I bought a rowing machine and a pull-up bar. After about a year, people started asking me why my shoulders were so broad.

Hmm how much sets and reps do you think I should do? I'm not even 21 yo, maybe it'd work for me better. (pull ups)

Also I hope your clavicle (the actual bone) got wider. Not bc of the muscles.

any time you hold a weight over your head your putting a load on your shoulders.
Wolff's Law says that l bone n will adapt to the stress under which it is placed.
so by working it out the stress should cause the shoulders to widenn

look at young gymnasts and swimmers. sure theyre muscular but theyre frames are usually a little wider too.
definetly try adding all the lifts you can, try adding in overhead press and handstand pushups in addition to the pullups and rowing

To be honest, I think I always did it wrong. I usually did as many reps as I could and about ten sets. Maybe some of the bodybuilders here can tell us what’s the best number of reps and sets.

I’m pretty sure it did. I haven’t done pull-ups in quite a while and am back to being skinny, but my shoulders are still much broader than they used to be.
