How To Force Your Shoulders To Get Wider (8 Mistakes)

#shoulders #lateralraises #hypertrophy You press every week and your shoulders are strong, but your frame still looks narrow. It's not just genetics. Most shoulder training hits the front delts, the part that makes you strong, not the side delts, the part that makes you wide. In this video: • the three heads of the deltoid, and which one makes you wide • why overhead pressing doesn't build width • why your lateral raises are too heavy, and why you shrug them up • the right arm path: lead with the elbows, about 30° in front of the body • cable and lean-away raises for tension in the stretch • the rear delts, and why rows don't train them • the 8 mistakes that keep shoulders narrow, and the fix for each • why your waist decides how wide your shoulders look • a simple 3-day plan (gym and home) • how to tell if your shoulders are really getting wider THE PLAN Train side delts 3x per week: Session 1: Dumbbell Lateral Raise 4 x 12-20 · Reverse Flyes 3 x 15-20 Session 2: Cable Lateral Raise 3 x 12-15 per arm · Seated Dumbbell Press 3 x 6-10 Session 3: Lean-Away Lateral Raise 3 x 12-15 per arm · Face Pulls 3 sets Last set of each raise: partials to failure.
