He fit, just out of curiosity, what is more important to being aesthetic and looking dominant?
Have shoulder width, or shoulder roundness?
I believe the most important is shoulder roundness, which is what makes the development visible.
Pic related.
Hafthor and Kevin Nash in his prime.
Both are close in height, but you can instantly see the structural difference. Hafthor is broader across the shoulders, he they have an ugly sloped shape. Nash isn't as wide, but has round full shaped delts, and so looks more dominant.
What do fitizens think? agree that Shoulder roundness > total Width?

I'd rather be above average in width than above average in shoulder "roundness"
Looks more intimidating

Width > Roundness.
Roundness you can build with more side lateral work, especially if you're a roider.
Width is fixed, depends on the size of your ribcage and collarbones.
In that picture Thor isn't "posing" the same way. If he was holding his arms and shoulders up and out slighlty like Nash is doing, then Thor's shoulders would look both wider AND rounder.
width is better obviously as long as youre not fat

How do you determine if you have good shoulder width?
>>39604985
Boney point near the top of your delts, the acromion. "Biacromial width" is the widest boney point on the skeleton.
Measured with anthropomorphic calipers is the most precise method.
Then compare the following figure to a chart that shows the normal range for your height. Upper end of range = wide.
Or you can just eyeball it when around other men close to your height.
Also, what matters more than biacromial width, is the width of your hips.
Small hip width + wide biacromial = good V taper.
V taper is more important than absolute biacromial & shoulder width.
All that said, every guy can benefit from fully developed round delts.
Also, if aesthetic is the goal then don't iver develop your traps. Big traps visual takes away from your shoulder width and roundness. Over developed Traps make your silhouette look like a bell.
Wide shoulders with full round shaped deltoid development + V taper + lean muscular definition = ultimate

I dont think Nash in WWE was in his prime you dumb fuck

V-taper is the most important thing in bodybuilding so width wins by a country mile.
Roundness can be attained, you must be born with width.

Nobody gives a shit which company he was in, point is his hair wasnt silver yet and he still had huge delts at the time. Head on full body shots of guys who are muscular and over 6'8" are uncommon enough that will just use whatever picture can be easily found. Sorry not sorry I'm not a fucking Pro Wrestling historian.

Oh shit, no idea how "Anthropometric" got turned into that.

I mean, you can't change your width...
