Average shoulder width.

Edit Post

I've just measured it and it's something around 55-57cm's. It may vary a bit since I've measured it alone.

I should add that I've measured it from shoulder to shoulder on my backside.
If I put the ruler above my chest I get a shoulder width of 52-53cm's.

I just called it a ruler but I measured it with a tape  I got measured by a tailor once and I don't have his measurements anymore unfortunately.

Yes I think you might have measured incorrectly, 55-57CM is huge. That would be wide even for a professional bodybuilder and like you said, your shoulders don't look very wide in the picture you posted.

I measure from the front, though I do it myself. http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Shoulder-Width

Edit- apparently you should preassure your arms towards your legs, when I do that I measure closer to 44CM -yeesh.

My build is very much like this guy though, so I think it looks good at my current height.



Problem is, can I pull of another 5CM?

The guide I saw used a different point to start the measurement, anyways my mom just measured it and it was 51,5cm's.
I did it with the method that was described in your link.
Don't worry about that.
Tall slim guys are considered attractive, I often face the problem that I can't wear a coat because it looks better on guys who have narrower shoulders and appear therefore taller. Male models tend to have a more feminin build in general.
I always wanted to get a burberry coat but it didn't fit me well enough (due to my statue) to be worth spending the money.

Impressive,that's very wide. I am naturally just 2CM shorter than you and still my shoulders are 6-7CM more narrow. Yet I've been complimented on my wide shoulders believe it or not; it's strange that you don't look very wide in the picture you posted. Maybe it's the angle?

I look extremly narrow on the picture I posted, but I had around 8% bodyfat at that time so it makes me look even narrower.
I think you are acutally taller by a small amount since I'm only 178-179 and your morning height is close to 180 If I remmeber correctly.
I don't like the idea of uploading many pictures of me, but I can assure you that the numbers are correct we measured it again and it was between 51-52cm's.
Edit:
I am now on 12-13% bodyfat so it's quit a substantial increase.

You always will have time to bulk your shoulders, you need just to go to gym (or pool)... I have about 48 cm shoulders and I'm about 165 cm tall.

Crap, what's wrong with me, and why don't they look narrow on my frame if I'm 14CM taller than you?
