Q about shoulder widening!!!!!

[transformBodyy]

Hello, I am 19 years old 6"01' and 230 lbs. This is after losing quite a few pounds, and I definitely plan on exercising constantly and losing more. However, as I lose my weight, I keep seeing that my shoulders are not wide enough relative to the rest of my body. Although I am thick boned and have a big figure, my shoulders seem small. I believe this is due to lack of exercise growing up, and my peers keep telling me that through exercise I can widen my shoulders. Does anyone know if I actually can still widen my shoulders through constant exercise (at this age when I have stopped growing in height for a year or two)? And if so, what effective at-home exercises can I do(I work 72 hours a week and only have a few hours to work out at night time)?
Thanks!

id say wide shoulders is in the genes you cant help it..you could build muscle mass on your shoulders but youd most probably have to join a gym.

Building a muscular physique definately broadens the shoulders, and creates the illusion they are broader. In the past year my width has gone from 18"-20". I don't think there's specific things that cause this, just do what you would normally for upper body, bench, rows, deads, military, etc.

up right rows, side raises and db shoulder press and your shoulders will get massive, worked for me. oh yeh reverse flies are important too

yeah, upright rows and lots of lateral work.

Also, imporving your back and overall posture will give you the appearance of looking wider.

Thank you guys. I guess I will just keep on doing some major work and hopefully it'll get better.
