Thoughts on the Reeve's deadlift for broad shoulders?

What is the general consensus? I've heard many sources say it can widen the clavicles, others say it's just good to fraud with muscle mass. If anyone has a legit answer I'd love to know. I believe that it follows somewhat reasonable logic and has anecdotal evidence to support it.

Has it been fully proven though?

How so? I've heard that it can make marginal incremental adjustments to the frame through stress to the cartilage and muscles surrounding the clavicles aiding in slight remodeling.
because it's biologically insignificant; any adaptation is so small that it doesn’t meaningfully alter skeletal width. Just like how i've disproven my past threads regarding mechanotransduction for leg lengthening and height, the same type of application is so minimal due to the biological and genetic restrictions of bone remodelling. Reeves Deadlifts do not create marginal changes in skeletal structure, only minimal ones;millimeters at best, undetectable without precise measurement.

So, it works in theory, but is so insignificant that it's not worth it. Got it, thanks.

yes, if you're going to apply the theory you need to apply torsional and dynamic torsional forces to the scapula, clavicles, and upper body frame,which possibly may stimulate interstitial fluid flow(indirectly linked to scapular widening) and potential structural adaptation. You need asymmetrical, rotational, and multi-planar loading. This however will only create more than mm differences if you have open plates as cartilage is easier to be molded and adapt. We've seen many cases of tibae volume and shape deviations based on what the human played(sports) in their earlier years constantly.

How would one apply this method?
 
Single-Arm Snatches or High Pulls,Rotational Isometric Holds with a Barbell,mostly exercises with these one sided unilateral movements
Interesting. Do you think that applying these methods on top of the reeves shrug can do anything? I don't lift much these days, but I'm interested in lifting for frame. If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear how to go about it functionally.

it would be too linear and symmetrical, you could try having unilateral effects still like keeping your right delt higher and vise versa for the sets, maybe leaning too, standing on a vibrating plate, etc etc anything keeping it more dynamic to increase intersitial fluid flow leading to indirect lengthening of the bones and possible widening.

There has been no evidence saying it can grow your bones
 
Yeah no scientific studies, but to be fair it hasn't really been a studies topic. Anecdotally it has marginally worked for many.
That’s just not how bones work, you can’t just pull them to make them longer

And the only reason people see results, is probably just because they are going to them gym and doing other exercises at the same time as doing the reeves deadlift
 
apparently reeves didnt even do the reeves dealift its just like a shrug with a wide grip, i do believe that training anything with a wide grip will widen the frame more but it could be cope
