Good point , haven't seen jackets like that since the 80s

I've seen plenty of NPC and ifbb guys with way bigger shoulders than that in real life :-\

I think with bideltoid breadth, you just lean up against a wall and measure from the side of one side delt to the other.

Post by: The True Adonis on May 10, 2015, 12:57:45 PM: I am in the 99th percentile here. Its not really great though because I believe wider shoulders makes for a horrible bench press for one. Notice the narrow clavicled slope shoulders always bench 315 and above and have a high bench in general without any real effort. These types are also very good at front squats and olympic lifts.

Maximum horizontal breadth across the shoulders, measured to the protrusions of the deltoid muscles.

The shoulders are round. Many people are eyeballing the measurement. To be accurate somebody else needs to measure it with a caliper touching the sides. Also, how much are you allowed to flare out? A lot of these guys claiming 24" are not standing relaxed I would assume. When I flare out my shoulders and lats it looks like mine are also around 24". When I stand in a 36" doorway with my lats flared like truanus my elbows hit the sides of the door frame easily.

Post by: Mawse on May 10, 2015, 02:11:52 PM: the width measurement seems easy to mess up, mine are about 58" around - which seemed great until I measured a SHW bro's chest at close to that, much leaner than me too :-X

Reeves would be like a little kid compared to todays chemical experiments
