Exercises to build wider shoulder
Pushups
Pushups are one of the primary shoulder workouts, and it is arguably a fundamental exercise for developing strength and muscles. Furthermore, pushups are very easy to perform and, as a result, are one of the go-to shoulder (and chest) exercises.
Pushups are also very flexible as you can perform them practically anywhere without any equipment as all you require is some space and your body weight. Likewise, you can perform several pushup variations for different specific benefits.
Incline bench press
The incline bench press is another shoulder exercise, and it is integral to any relevant shoulder workout. The exercise targets your deltoids and upper pecs, expanding the top area of your torso for a wider shoulder. This is different from the regular bench press that targets more of your lower pecs.
To ensure you hit the right spots, position your bench at a 45-degree angle before performing a regular shoulder press. This could be by lifting a barbell or a dumbbell in each hand. The bench’s angle will engage your chest’s upper portion and strengthen your chest and shoulder connection.
Lateral raise
Lateral raises are another essential and versatile upper body workout that targets your shoulders. It builds your lateral deltoid muscles while improving your shoulder mobility. You can typically perform it with resistance bands, a pair of dumbbells, and cable machines.

Overhead press
The overhead press, or overhead shoulder press, is an excellent shoulder exercise for any program seeking to build strength and muscle mass. You can generally increase the resistance with heavier weights, allowing you to work your deltoids, trapezius, pecs, and triceps.

Exercise to build a wider back
Deadlift
The deadlift is an excellent compound exercise that helps to develop strength and muscle mass in the back, hips, and hamstrings. Deadlifts can stress your back when you use moderate to heavy loads and allow for higher volumes and loads training.

Pull-Up
Pull-ups are another fundamental back-building exercise that you can perform almost anywhere. The exercise’s overhead pulling movement helps develop your lats and upper back muscles. Pull-ups also have variations that you can perform depending on what part of your back you want to target.

Abs exercises
The sub-heading is slightly misleading because narrower hips and waists are more a function of nutritional diet rather than ab exercises.
