Hi, I'm new. :)
It's often said swimming makes your shoulders broader.
Does they come from a bigger upper body bone structure or due to prominent deltoid muscles?
For me it's hard to believe that swimming in the developing age can make bone bigger.
Are there any real swimmers who got broader shoulder from swimming after the developing age?
I'm 23 years old with narrow shoulder and I'd like to know if swimming can help me.
Thanks!
I think that you're either born with broad shoulders or not. Many swimmers seem to have this body type because their natural-born shoulders make them stronger in the water and thus, they pursue the sport.
With that being said, even people with narrow shoulders will develop pectorals, deltoids, triceps, and back muscles by virtue of swimming, so in a sense, swimming will build the appearance of a developed upper body. (Broad shoulders)
Add dry land training, and the upper body will strengthen and shoulders will appear even larger. Maybe this is a chicken/egg question!
