what excercises can i do to help increase the size of my shoulders and widen them? i don't want too many that involve the traps because traps can make youlook slope shouldered.
thanks

To get the impression of wide shoulders you need to develop the medial delts. These can be worked by doing lateral raises - I prefer dumbells than cables. Don't overtrain your delts though. They are small muscles and can easily be overtrained.

Try some Arnold presses and lateral raises. Be careful when working your shoulders, overtraining leads to injury. You dont want that, it takes a long time to heal.

dont worry about 'widening' them...certain shapes or features like that are merely genetic...just work all areas, front, medial and rear deltoids...they will look 'wider' when they get bigger, period
