To create the large V shape that many bodybuilders seek starts mainly with the shoulders as they add bulk size and mass to the width of the shoulder area and the top of the arms, together with wide lats they create the V look that many bodybuilders have, this mixed in with a well defined waist helps improve the overall appearance of the upper body.

Shoulder width is usually determined by your skeletal structure its this that you will be adding width to by doing exercises for the shoulders, side deltoids are the critical muscles to focus on that add width.

Width alone is not enough for a fully developed set of shoulder muscles, they also need to be thick and blend in with the chest and biceps to form the perfect look

Doing inclined bench presses will work the front head of the shoulder muscle, presses to the back of the neck will help develop the rear head, lateral extensions and shrugs are another 2 type of exercises for the shoulders, laterals are done by holding dumb bells and raising the arms outwards away from the body in an arc type motion, shrugs are similar but the only difference is you keep your arms straight down the side of your body and shrug by pulling the shoulders up towards your ears.

Shoulders will get worked out during a normal workout routine so in the beginning of your workout regime you wont need to concentrate too hard on them, every upper body exercise you do will use a percentage of the shoulders, when you advance, you will need to start isolating them with shrugs, presses and laterals

In the advanced stage of shoulder development you will need to do presses, front and rear, laterals standing and bending over with your back horizontal to the floor to build the rear deltoids

Military presses are the best for the front shoulder muscle head, sitting on a bench back straight, press the bar straight up over your head and repeat, this exercise really helps in joining the biceps to the shoulders, this position can also be used for seated lateral raises.
