Frame
-Shoulder width-Waist ratio
-Posture
These are the foundations of having that wide built look. You can have a great face, but if your frame is narrow your presence WILL suffer
Example:
The good news is that Even tho bone structure is set, You can dramatically improve the appearance of your frame through muscle development, posture correction and fat loss
Now in order to achieve crazy bidelt numbers the easiest way is to train the muscles that give you that wide look
SHOULDERS
Shoulders are the single most important muscle to building a wide frame (water)
The fastest way to grow your shoulders is to train them often and with enough volume to really push growth. For width focus on focus on the side delts
Lateral raises with cables are best (dumbbell is good too)
aim to reach failure on every set at around the 12-15 rep range
Overhead press should also be included twice a week to build overall mass and strength. Incorporate rear felt flys or reverse pec deck to keep your shoulders balanced and prevent bad posture.
Training shoulder 2-3 times a week works well
BACK
The back is another very important factor and is almost just as important as shoulders for looking wide/ achieving a strong v taper. The main muscle you should focus on is your lats
Pull-ups and lat pulldowns should be your main lifts, keeping your chest up and pulling with your elbows to really target the lats.
Adding in rows with a slight forward lean helps hit them from another angle. Train lats 2-3 times a week, focus on clean form over heavy weight if you are a beginner
and let the muscle stretch at the bottom of every rep for maximum growth.
WAIST
Most people don't actually have wide waists they just have too much body fat.
Get to around 9-10% body fat, will make your waist look much smaller. Beyond fat loss, learning to control your diaphragm and core muscles can make a big difference. Practice keeping your abs tight and breathing through your chest instead of letting your stomach push out. This takes time but dramatically improves your waist aesthetics.
Fixing anterior pelvic tilt improves posture and creates the illusion of a smaller waist. For exercises to correct this, I recommend watching this video:

BONUS TIP
Avoid training traps at all costs if you want to be aesthetic and have a wider look
Big traps: narrow look-
Small traps: wider more aesthetic look-
Look at how much more aesthetic he looks with smaller traps.
That’s all folks I hope this was informative.
Because this is my first guide feedback and tips to make my guides better in the future would be much appreciated
Happy thanksgiving and good luck
