a lot of people tell me I have a good/decent frame but I'm wondering how I can improve
I can't send a photo because I'm on a school computer lol
 
im assuming your a beginner at the gym, so i would stay stick to some staple compound lifts (bench, squat, shoulder press), and keep your volume and frequency low until you become a more experienced lifter. (for example, only go 3x a week, unless your disciplined to do more than that)
I'm not saying this is you, but every new lifter thinks that they need the "perfect" exercises to maximize muscle growth, but staying consistent and having a good diet is 10x more important.
for a 3 day split, i would say its best to do full body workouts 3 days a week and keep volume low (not a lot of sets per muscle group)
here are some exercises for each muscle group that you can choose from (only need 1-2 per muscle group per session)
Chest- Bench press, Incline Dumbell press, Pec Deck flies, cable flies,
Back- Lat pulldown, Wide grip cable row, barbell row, T bar row
Triceps- Rope pushdown, straight bar pushdown, Overhead dumbell extension, Overhead rope extension
Biceps- Cable curl, Alternating dumbell curl, Preacher curls
Shoulders- Db shoulder press, overhead barbell press, dumbell lateral raise, cable lateral raise
Legs- Squats, leg press, leg extension, leg curl of some sort

if your specific goal is just a big frame and not being super muscular, the best exercises that you can prioritizing or actively progressively overloading on are any sort of lat movements (lat pulldown, lat pullover) for the v taper look and lateral raises for broad shoudlers. though if you want a good frame i recommend training every muscle equally.
i hope this helps

well u cant work out bones
shoulder exercises give of the appearance of a wider frame so do lateral raises and also dumbell pullovers to widen the ribcage

So would you say doing all these shoulders exercises be good for chest and shoulder?
