any way I can increase shoulder width besides adding muscle?

Trying to get a super crazy V taper, I see alot of bodybuilders throughout the years add alot of width to their shoulders not just from building muscle alone... aka flex wheeler.
Any tips?

If you are like me you have been over emphasizing the bench press (do you always start with the bench and haven't left if out of a pec session since high school). The problem will be compounded if you work at a desk all day.
If so, then you may/probably have a structural imbalance between your internal and external rotators. This will result in poor posture, rounded shoulders (they will look smaller) and limited bench press strength. Put on a T-shirt with a seam between the collar and top of shirt sleeve. Stand relaxed with your arms at your sides and have someone look at the seam. If it deviates, even slightly toward the front of your body, you have an imbalance.
Bringing your internal/external rotators back into balance will retract your shoulders, lift your chest and you will look and feel better in your clothes.
The external rotators I am specifically referring to are the infraspinatus and teres minor. There are several exercises that specifically focus on this muscle group. To continue making gains on the bench press, the external rotators must be capable of lifting at least 9.8% of the bench press weight.
Thats well said mate. I do however think he is after altering his structure, which as we know can't be done. You are either born with the wide upper body structure and narrow pelvis or you aren't. I will be watching out for more info from you klon. Cheers mate

Lose inches on your waist and you'll have more of the V shape

Thin waist + broad shoulders will create/develop/enhance the v-taper
