Swim more.

Honestly, if you want broader shoulders try and go to a swimming pool at least once or twice a week (your choice really, thats a minimum) and spend at least an hour or so doing lengths. I have broad shoulders because of it, it's the best way to do it. ;)

As for wrists, that would be weights I think?

Wrists is to do with the size of your bones. The skin around it is never too thick. You just get it by increasing your size in general and height and growing. You can't do anything manually to increase the width, that's just weird.

Do lateral raises, shoulder press, upright row, trap raises. Google them :) And for wrists? I've never seen anybody want huge wrists lol. Your wrist is just a bone with a tendon, you can't get it big :P

The tips theyv'e given you on this forum are bog standard

Swimming? no that will not get you that far, you will have to do constant swimming for atleast 30 minutes every session (which is very hard) and even then you would only tone out your shoulders and you wouldn't gain much muscle mass.

Shoulder Press? yes this will work, you will need to do high weight (high weight for your current strength level) with every set of the shoulder press you should try and do your best 3-7 reps and LONG rest periods.
What i would do in free weights;
20kg on each arm (40kg) and i would do about 5-10 reps (don't count, stop when you think you should) then i would have about 45-60 secound rest period

Now there is alot more other methods but your diet is almost as important as your training, you should be eating about 75g on your training day and about 50-60g every day your not training

As far as wrists are concerned THEY CAN BE EXCERCISED with great results.
An easy way is to grab a barbell (heavy weight) hold it with both hands and rotate your wrists doing half barbell curls

Sorry i can't provide any visual tutorials though
Good luck

Good luckA few of them are bog standard.. Your wrists cannot be exercised, it's a bone incase you didn't know.

If you want your wrists to look bigger you have to work on your forearm strength.

Getting stronger forearms will make the tendons round the wrist grow and be thicker, making your wrists look bigger!

To work on your forearms get some dumbells and bend your wrists back and forth,
but search it on google for a better tutorial because that was rubbish - sorry !
