GTFIH IF YOU ARE FRAMEMAXXING

[the_nextDavidLaid]

To properly framemaxx you have to put stress on the arms by either swimming, doing the Hercules hold or... you guessed it the Reeves Deadlift. This is probably one if not the only exercise that directly puts stress on the clavicles so you have to do it correctly.

Spoiler: Reeves doing the 'Reeves Shrug'

Spoiler: Steve Reeves flexing his sexy body

Reeves reportedly stated in certain interviews that he created the 'Reeves Deadlift' but it should not be used as a deadlift cause the Deadlift doesnt directly puts stress on the clavicles.
So, to not waste your time any further he said that you have to do shrugs while holding the bar to properly widen the clavicles/shoulders.


Heres a video you can easily find on Youtube that shows the proper way to do the Shrug

Spoiler: Video Example

Now, before you watch note that you have to pull your shoulders back and just use the Scapula up and down, up and down, feeling the stress mostly on your delts and not the traps.

Spoiler: Scapula

-Also the shrug movement has to be very slow and intense-



Happy Framemaxxing lads.

reeves already had more or less the same frame at age 16 and none of his training visibly contributed to it.

I've seen this exercise thrown around here and there but do we have examples of anyone who's actually improved their frame from framelet or just average with it?

 

[the_nextDavidLaid]

doesnt seem like it tbh

just do a lot of overhead press.

 

[the_nextDavidLaid]

did you widen the clavicles or did it just develop the shoulders?

yes its arborist

Reeves deadlift is stupid. Just do BTN press and face pulls with external rotation.

fixed my scapular positioning because I had bad posture and developed the shoulders.

if your chest is underdeveloped compared to your back your shoulder blades get pulled backwards which makes you look narrower.

Nope, there isn't.

Amazes me that there are people that still don't know this but what causes the "swimmer frame" is not swimming, it is that if you have said frame you will do better on the sport.

Yeah this sounds about right. I don’t think you can train your clavicles lol or every bodybuilder would be doing it

How can I fix this? I have the same problem you had right now

Lol it's only 1 excercise you need to research way more as of now
There are so many things you can do to significantly wider th frame except for gaining muscle

what do you do? I just do very high delt volume, for all 3 heads

Microfractures
Dumbbell pullovers + deep breathing squats for ribcage expansion
Reeves deadlift

it is quite literally just strengthening your muscles, if there's an imbalance between the back and the front you either get rounded shoulders (if the front is too tight and the back is too weak) or they're pulled back too far which is the opposite (if the back is too tight and the front is weak), most people have some form of it due to their sedentary lifestyle.

if the back and front of your body both have proper development it keeps your shoulders in a proper neutral position in the middle where they appear their widest.

 

[flippasav]

No gym for ur frame

 

[the_nextDavidLaid]

That’s literally all you can do
