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  :-\

How is shoulder width  being measures? From the end of each shoulder?

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

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.

Reeves had great shoulder width, but the king of shoulder width in those days was Don Howarth.

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.
