Does your frame grow after your growth plates close and height stops?

Title. Once your growth plates fuse with your shoulders get any broader or nah, like your actual skeletal frame

I’m 16 and this is my frame it looks big already as I am 5’10 165 pounds. How much more is it likely to increase? I’m 17 in 11 days

You most likely have years until your calvicles fuse, so keep putting in that work. It looks like you have a solid physique already with pretty good shoulder:hip ratio. You’ve got time, so don’t waste it.

My shoulder growth plates have fused bro
 
Have you gotten an x ray of it so it’s confirmed?
I mean even if they are you can still add width to your shoulders through intense shoulder targeted compound and isolated movements.

I just looked it up and saw the 15-17, but 15 is early stage, meaning that there could be a chance that there not fused for you. It also said that they can fuse as late as 20. I think that shoulder width is one of those things that even if it is too late, it’s worth giving it a try because it’s even an addition inch total would still be noticeable and improve your physique. If I were you I would do overhead press, bench press, any rear delt exercise, and lateral raises.

Also once the clavicle plates close it can’t expand anymore right? Just like with height?

Oh okay I didn’t know you were saying yeah to th ex ray part. Sure you can send it to me if you want but I believe you. Exercise your shoulders man. A lot. Be careful tho that you dont hurt yourself. I have a thread for shoulder pain if you want to check it out in case you ever need it. You have a good width and traps to because they are wider than they are tall. Some people have super short traps that almost ball up right besides their neck so it’s good that you don’t have that.

Scientifically yeah, but I’ve come across some height forums where people have claimed to have grown taller after growth plate fusion, but it was probably because of spinal legthening. The clav is not like the spine so I couldn’t say for sure, but you’re probably right.

Your frame is good, no need for extra width at your height. Get your dad to rope and live a happy life

17 years old vs 22. I have a ectomorph build so that doesn't help but you are huge for 17 man, you'll be twice of me.

It’s possible but probably not likely
