just wanted to ask a couple of questions, anyoine have any idea what excercises can help either make my shoulders broader or at least give that broad look? also, weight loss excercises are exactly the same as the other ones, only with less weight and more reps right?
thnks in advance.

For a good shoulder workout try one of the programs on here and supplement it with the "wide shoulders program".
It will give you nice shoulders and that tapered "V" look you are looking for.
For weight loss, (i think you mean fat loss) incorporate 25-30 min of cardio to your weight training.
You must always remember to eat right and you will see results, be pateint and good Luck.

Weight loss exercises are in fact the exact same as gaining exercises. As Carivan states, adding cardio will help. The key here is diet. Adding cardio will help create a calorie deficit, help raise your metabolism, both of which will result of course in weight loss. And if you keep your protein intake high with good fibrous carbs, it will result in mostly fat loss rather than just weight loss. Do not lower your weights. This is a setup for muscle loss. You may decrease your rest time, this will help.

Military Press, Front Raises, Side Raises, Rear Delts. - don't forget many people let these slip, causes injuries. These should put some mass on those shoulders, soldier.
