True genetic freaks can fill out broad frame, Dennis Newman, Lee Haney, Nasser Elsonbaty, Ronnie Coleman are all naturally broad shouldered with no problem filling those frames.
Mike Matarazzo failed miserably with his thin back, high lats and weak pecs.
So if you can fill it, it's not a problem, but it is very rare to be very wide and thick at the same time.
Real broad shouldered guys tend to have Ectomorph tendencies along with mesomorphy.

Ronnie actually didn’t have a super side frame either, look at him now. It’s clear it was all muscle.

Ronnie was not wide. He’s not looking At their actual shoulder structure I assume

Case closed

Mentzer looked great in gym and beach pics but not so impressive when up against other bodybuilders on stage. He even had a perfect score on the Olympia stage and won his division only to lose to Zane head to head.

Good builds but they must not have Irish genetics as the narrow clavicles are fairly evident

One cannot have elite genetics with narrow shoulders

Look At Phil for example - narrow shoulders and a little bloofy chest - worst Olympia ever without a shadow of a doubt

You're saying Chris Dickerson is better than Heath?

Seven Sandows vs. one (actually, I don't think Dickerson actually got a Sandow when he won it. It was just a big regular-looking trophy).

When Cutler was at the top of the game he was the widest person I’ve ever seen. I’m assuming he has a wide shoulder girdle or was that strictly drug induced (Gunther was very wide as well, massive in terms of overall size, but Cutler at his height was something else. And for those wondering Ronnie had the biggest arms of all the pros from that era. Mind boggling size.).

Ronnie had some truly huge arms, genetic freak

I agree. Ronnie had huge genetics and freak arms.

wide clavicles?

Just look what happened to Dillet

Its the muscle that fills the frame not the bone structure

No big gut here

Exactly!

Every good bodybuilder seems to be a natural ectomorph.

Not really. If you’ve good eyes you’ll see Kevin is still rather narrow. Dillett does look different alright. Maybe he had better access to GH. Maybe Pfizer like Dorian.
