Your lats and back make your frame, and of course your ribcage.
You need to consider that the point where the bideltoid is measured is all the way down to around 1 third of the upper arm, so something like hiding pillows under your arms would do the job surprisingly well.
Widening the ribcage raises and widens the shoulders (you can observe this in the mirror by breathing in), and so do lats and the rest of the back.
Also, it's very experimental and I haven't done any proper research on it yet, but from what I have read, ribcage expansion methods (which were pretty common in old school bodybuilding- an extinct practice) not only expand the ribcage, but also assist the ribs to grow longer than they would without those excercises.
Feel free to correct me on the last part, I haven't done any strong research yet.
Anyway,
That's all related to the reason that fat people are so insanely wide at the shoulders. It's not the fat on the shoulders and arms itself- as the fatties on Looksmax.me commonly misdiagnose their wideness with- but all the fat on the torso and back, that pushes the arms out.
Disproportionally big boulder shoulders as I see them on here all the time look ridiculous, and they don't add to frame nearly as much as a wider ribcage, lats and back would.
