Getting shoulders wider.

Now I've heard from one possibly stupid source that working traps is going to give narrower shoulders, and I've heard exactly the opposite.

I'd think working them would make them wider now not narrower.

This is the case, right?

Also what other exercises can I do to make them wider, just list them off I probably already do them

Well if your traps get big you'll probably develop a slope-look.. by no means does that indicate small or narrow shoulders though.

If you naturally have that look it would be difficult to develop broad shoulders. I'm the other way around personally but I've seen some jacked guys with sloped shoulders so it's really nothing to be self conscious about.
