Shoulder Workout Success

[bullet]

I wonder how much Width a person can gain in the shoulder area with a proper workout in 12 Months.I guess Swimming will help as well.I'm 26 now,so I can't increase the length of bones.
I just want to broaden my shoulders.How much width can I gain by bulking up muscle in 12 Months?
Thanks.

Its not something Im assuming you want to here, but thats very dependant on a few things. Kcal consumption vs. expenditure, type of workout, genetics etc. No one can approximate any number for you. You will have to figure out what works best on your own. Heavy compound movements is mostly what I use. I have a wide clavicle structure but my traps tend to overpower my shoulders.

I think it was DBhammer who wrote something along the lines of,"I would rather make minimal gains my first year and make great gains for the next three years then to make slow gains for four years straight." This is probably very loosely quoted, but I take it to heart. Take some time, figure out what works and what doesn't and your gains will begin to really increase. I could give you a number, but what the hell for? It may be worthless in your case. You could gain 1" or 6" in width.

Can I ask what program you would like to take on?

It would be helpful if you supplied us with more background and current status info. Training experience, Height, weight, current routine, natural or unnatural, number of years training experience.

Obviously narrow waist and good lats help give the illusion of wider shoulders. Its as much about "look" as actual width as far as the perception.

Would it be wise to say you may not gain a ton of size but the overall look will give the impresion of one being much wider???
