Implants.

Typing in all caps is bad for your shoulders.

Yeah, especially if you have implants.

Why would you just want huge shoulders? You would want that, and still have a scrawny little chest and back, toothpick legs and spindly arms?

Any of the basic whole-body workouts build big muscles all over the body, including shoulders. They need to be developed in balance with the back and chest to avoid risk of injury, and in conjunction with the rest of the body to avoid risk of looking like someone who just works shoulders.

Learn to walk on your hands upside down and do it ALL the time.

Why do you want huge shoulders? Do you want your shoulders up to your ears and have bad posture and forward head posture and then pain? I don't think so.

Wow. I can't believe I am the voice of reason.

Try military/shoulder presses, bradford presses, cleans and upright rows.

I still say implants are quicker, and you can have any size you want. I think they also come in designer colors.

Why do you equate large shoulder muscles with bad posture and pain?

People who train their shoulders exclusively will probably end up with both.

True, but you can't build really impressive shoulders without also developing other muscle groups.

I have big shoulders (not to mention everything else) and I am just fine. No problems with pain or postures. I am just very wide at the top.

I'm with Hoosegow. Time for a good answer rather than just bashing the poor kid. I m pretty sure he got the point that the "how to get hyooge" body part thing isn't a terribly popular question around here. Lot's of BB and DB clean and presses, snatches and what Hoosegow said.
