How I Built 23 Inches Bideltoids (Framemaxxing Guide) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I built around 23 inches wide as I built
- 0:02it, but I wasn't always like this. I
- 0:04used to have an extremely narrow frame
- 0:06despite already having muscle. Those
- 0:07pics were taken around 15, and as you
- 0:09can see, my clavicles were non-existent.
- 0:12So, I'm going to talk about everything I
- 0:13did to get wider, and it's not going to
- 0:15be surface level trainer shoulder stuff.
- 0:17It goes deeper than that. The most
- 0:18important thing to grow wider is to
- 0:20train your back. Having a thick massive
- 0:22back will push your shoulders outwards
- 0:24as your arms basically have no room left
- 0:26to be held along your body. It's like
- 0:27the invisible lat syndrome meme, but the
- 0:29goal to achieve that without having to
- 0:31force it. For this, I have always done
- 0:33pull-ups to failure, but lately I've
- 0:34been using the lat pull down machine due
- 0:36to a fractured rib. A big mistake I was
- 0:37doing back then was to not train to
- 0:39failure, just count reps to 12 and stop
- 0:41when I felt a mild discomfort. Whereas
- 0:43now, I train super hard with all sets
- 0:45taken to failure, not regarding form as
- 0:47much, just putting as heavy as I can. I
- 0:49think that's what you would call ego
- 0:50lifting, but it has benefited my muscle
- 0:52growth so much. I also do seated rows to
- 0:54grow my back, and normally with both
- 0:55arms, but again with my rib, I have to
- 0:57do single arm for now. I have only done
- 0:59those exercises for the last 3 years to
- 1:01grow my back. You don't need more than
- 1:03that as the pull-ups make your back
- 1:04wider and the seated rows make it
- 1:06thicker. So, I have never really tried
- 1:07any other exercise as it's pretty much
- 1:09all you need for frame maxing. Now, one
- 1:11very important thing which I just
- 1:12changed recently is that I started
- 1:14focusing on shoulders much more. Up to
- 1:16that point, I had always been doing
- 1:17lateral raises at the end of my push
- 1:19days because I thought, "Oh, they're
- 1:20already a strong point of mine, so I
- 1:21shouldn't bother training them much."
- 1:23But I realized it was a huge mistake as
- 1:25instead of having just decent shoulders,
- 1:27I could have had coconuts. So, now what
- 1:28I do is focus work for each head like
- 1:31rear delt fly, overhead presses, and
- 1:33heavy lateral raises. Again, not really
- 1:35focusing on form as you can see. Now, I
- 1:37hear a lot of people say that you should
- 1:38not train traps if you want to look
- 1:40wide, and I don't agree with that as
- 1:41having massive traps doesn't take away
- 1:43from your wide frame, but makes it even
- 1:45better by helping your neck look
- 1:46thicker, which means more masculine. On
- 1:48this picture, I was 67 kilos, and you
- 1:50can see my frame was still narrow, but
- 1:52my traps made it look much better in my
- 1:53opinion by giving my neck a much thicker
- 1:55look. If I had a pencil neck and no
- 1:57traps on top of a narrow frame, I think
- 1:59it would have looked way worse. I guess
- 2:00it is kind of true that having a big
- 2:02traps will take a little bit away from
- 2:03how wide you look visually, but at the
- 2:05same time having a pencil neck will also
- 2:07take away from how masculine you look.
- 2:08So, it's up to you to choose what you
- 2:10want between those two. A big bonus to
- 2:12add to your wide frame which I've never
- 2:13heard about is to develop massive
- 2:15brachioradialis. You know me, of course
- 2:17I cannot go 2 minutes without talking
- 2:18about forearms, and rightfully so as the
- 2:20brachioradialis is a huge chunk of beef
- 2:22that will stick out of your arms making
- 2:24you appear wider from the front. For
- 2:26this, my favorite lift has always been
- 2:27reverse barbell curls. I currently use
- 2:3060 kilos for that lift for about 12
- 2:31reps. It has blown them up like crazy,
- 2:33but none of what I just said in this
- 2:35video is going to matter if you do the
- 2:36same mistake I did, which was by far my
- 2:38worst one in my fitness journey. Not
- 2:40eating properly truly stunted my growth
- 2:42when I started, and worse than that, I
- 2:44was eating below my maintenance calories
- 2:45and only consuming processed food, which
- 2:47means I was getting close to no protein
- 2:49or nutrients in a day. The moment I had
- 2:51my diet on point and started bulking is
- 2:53when I saw the change happen in terms of
- 2:54frame and muscle growth, which is kind
- 2:56of weird since I started doing this at
- 2:5818 years old, which means my growth was
- 3:00supposed to have stopped already. But
- 3:01this is proof of what good alimentation
- 3:03is capable of doing. If you want to know
- 3:04exactly what I ate and how I bulked to
- 3:06grow my frame and body, I have explained
- 3:08it all in my program, first link in the
- 3:10description. Thousands of members have
- 3:11already transformed with that program,
- 3:13whether by growing a large masculine
- 3:14physique or getting shredded. So, if you

- 3:20So, now what I do is focus work for each
- 3:22head like rear delt fly, merde.
- 3:25Mhm.
