A lot of guys workout and have good bodies, but you cant tell that they lift with there clothes on.
My question is do broader shoulders help add to the bigger look more then working arms and chest

Big shoulders help to give you that tank look.
Of course don't leave out chest, back, arms, abs, legs or traps. All the other muscles you don't really have to work.The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins

In my opinion I think the back is the most responsible for makings some one look big, then the shoulders/chest. disagree if you want, but your back gets alot bigger than your chest and you build the most with in your back.

Re: Do big shoulders make you look bigger
they help alot with adding to the illusion of broadness and size but do not neglect any other muscle groups for they all play there fair share in adding to that lookOriginally posted by nolimitsfor2003

Bump!...i think forearms have such a big effect on how big you look and people dont really even think about it. DONT FORGET TO TRAIN YOUR FOREARMS!!!Originally posted by htownsb

If you work out your entire body you'll look huge regardless of anything else. YET I've found shoulders/traps to be what gives you a broader stance.

It's my traps that make me look like I work out when I'm wearing a shirt... unless the sleaves are really short

Same here. Im so glad no one does stiff leg and heavy shrugs with proper form on a consistent basis which is why hardly anyone has good traps compared to the rest of their body.Originally posted by busta hymen

I have decent shoulders too which helps even more. But traps i think really help you stand out when your wearing a shirt since good traps are rare. Add good shoulders and its a good combination.

yes shoulders make you look bigger, and combined with a good chest that sticks out an inch and thick forearms, its a good bet everyone will know you workout.
