Do broad shoulders help your shoulder striking ability?

[teknien]

This is not a new technique. Ive been watching Mauy Thai guys use this in the clinch for a very long time. Just because it is not used that often in the UFC doesn't mean people dont know about it.

We gotta teach this to Niko

He is plenty aware of the technique

Obviously it does. Bigger shoulder = more mass = greater impulse transfer. Plus; clavicles are weak and a narrow shouldered dude could easily snap his collar on someone's infinitely tougher skull.

Jones was doing it beforehand

More recently Conor has begun using the technique

Both broad shouldered individuals but would someone like Max Holloway be as effective at using this technique

If they make it in UFC PS4 game then Max will start using it too
