Building shoulder to shoulder width?
Is there a certain exercise that can achieve more shoulder to shoulder width? Like from your neck to the left and right side.

Damn, its what I hate since I am 6feet tall and compared to other people I have relatively wider shoulder to shoulder but I have always wanted a really wide frame. I guess I will have to increase it via gym workouts.

Dumbell lateral raises are good for widening your shoulders. They even get taxed from heavy dumbell/barbell pressing too. Wide-grip upright rows can work your lateral shoulder head as well as your traps.
And also, like dg806 says, you can broaden your back which, with a small waist, can make you look broader.
