46cm (over 18inch) shoulders, is it possible to widen it by building muscle? if so, how much can i add aproximately?

clavicles cannot be widened but you can try to improve how wide your shoulders look by building your delts

ive been lifting for about a year with slight priority on shoulders/side delts, and ive gained maybe 1 or more inches on each shoulder, def worth it. i train them twice a week, 4 sets of lateral raises to failure in the 6-12 rep range.

Yes you can improve a lot. Try to get really strong at strict overhead barbell presses.

That's average for your height. You just need to lift. Overhead presses also mog lat raises to death. Lat raises are fucking shit

aight thanks for motivation, im doing overhead presses and lateral raises for couple weeks but its too early for gains i guess, i gained a lot in arms and chest though

overhead presses target front delts which are already overdeveloped for most people anyway, lateral delts are pull muscles not push, the only way to train them is putting your arms to the side and raising them to the side

How can you know if your gen is trash without working out?
I was skinny af, and after 2 years of working out, I gained 30 pounds lean and look great.
Just workout and eat more, you will see results, especially the first year.

jfl do an overhead press you can feel the lat delts and triceps are doing all the work
