What it concludes

• To build the illusion of wider shoulders, you must build both the back and the shoulders or deltoids.
• For the lat pulldown, using a shoulder-width grip and keeping elbows tucked in allows for maximum weight overload and least amount of joint strain.
• The military press is one of the most effective compound movements for building up the deltoids when proper form with packed shoulders is maintained.
• Lateral dumbbell raises should be performed with light weight (20 to 25 pounds) using slow and controlled movement to properly target the side delts.
