At what clavicle length is gymmaxxing a waste of time? I have extremely narrow shoulders that are as wide as my hips (which are also narrow) and I feel like it would just be like putting lipstick on a pig.

Most guys that say this are actually completely fine. It's rare to have shoulder so narrow that muscle mass wouldn't help a bit.
I have the shoulders of the guy in the pic
Pretty big compared to the rest of my body
Post body with face grayed out
Are you skinny right now or have you already been lifting a while? How tall are you? It's hard to get an accurate idea to give advice if we can't see you
5'9 lifting 1 months
Post body moron.
If you've only been lifting a month, you shouldn't even be thinking about what you look like. You should be focusing on getting more reps and more weight on the bar.
>5’9
Lmao. Honestly not worth lifting as a manlet. So yea give up
Its over. How tall do you have to be until your not a manlet
Im right. You can cope all you want, but studies show most of what women are attracted to in a mans physique is stuff you cant change like having broad shoulders and being tall. Its sick and evil to delude people into thinking you can just become attractive by working out if you lost the genetic lottery.
Studies do show that, but if you go from “fricked” to “slightly less fricked”, bro, it’s the guy’s life. It’s 20,000 days of misery. You dispense black pills to someone like this, they’ll gladly eat them up. Kid is evidently already demoralized.
5’11 is bare minimum to qualify as a man
Frick u Black person. Hitler was 5'9
Yeah, and he had goons to do his dirty work. Same with putin everyone laughs at them and would kill them easily but they still want a fat pay check for the month
What's the size of your head? If you have a small head then it looks wider. Your pic has a large head for his frame
she framemoggs him by almost x2
I can't believe theres mutants that exist on this planet that are deciding whether to lift or not based on their fricking clavicle length lmao
Im not a mutant, they framemog me. Its just that my shoulders and frame are so bad it feels like a waste of time. Even Jeff Cavalier has broader shoulders than me and that guys frame looks like shit
Do you think you'll look better as a dyel with narrow shoulders or a guy with a narrow frame who has packed some muscle onto his upper body?
The former. Gymmaxxed framecels just look like shit. Like you spend all this time working on your physique when it doesnt even look aesthetic, and you look worse than some guy with good genes who has broad shoulders, narrow waist, and never lifted a day in his life.
Frick off and rope, black pilled homosexual
I have average clavicles and hips that are just above average. Bothered me for *years* before I did anything about it. About 2 years into it, the problem disappeared, and it could have been resolved quicker had I trained more intelligently.
If you’re at the bottom of a pit, start climbing today. Whatever you end up with is better than where you began.
>trained more intelligently
Explain

Ignore the numbers they’re largely machine-specific.
Also, some tips: dark pants and a lighter colored top will create the illusion of a broader upper body. Avoid t-shirts until you put on some size—button ups and sweaters are your friend, as are light weight jackets in the fall and spring.
Workout wise, I’d recommend 3-4 days a week of full body. Skip legs and *do not* listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, as you do not want to pack mass on your ass or legs—it’ll only exacerbate a bad situation. I cannot emphasize this strongly enough. Same goes for shrugs, which will only make you look more like a torpedo. Do lateral raises, upright rows, and a shoulder pressing machine.
Phil Heath had a very narrow clavicle for a bodybuilder and won Mr. Olympia 7x in a row.
What does he look like before? I bet his clavicle bone is inches longer than mine
you motherfrickers will look for any excuse not to work out and it's so fricking embarrassing.
