Looksmaxxing
The clavicular system explained: what to steal, what to bin
The 'clavicular system' is a bundle of looksmaxxing techniques that all claim to make your collarbones and shoulders more dominant. Some of it is standard hypertrophy training with a new name. Some of it is nonsense. Here's a clean tier list.
Steal: proven training
These are just hypertrophy and mobility work under a new brand. They work because they always did.
- Face pulls, reverse flyes, seated rows
- Overhead press variations with strict form
- Daily band pull-aparts
- Thoracic extensions on a foam roller
Steal with caveats: aesthetic tweaks
These help the look, not the frame — cutting body fat, choosing shirts that sit on the shoulder line, standing tall.
Bin: crash-out content
Anything that promises to lengthen or reshape bone is either wishful thinking or an injury waiting to happen.
- Bone smashing / clavicle tapping
- Weighted hangs to 'stretch' clavicles
- Undocumented peptide stacks
- Cold-plunging for 'clavicle visibility'
Never try
Any DIY intervention that involves hitting yourself or injecting something you can't spell. The downside is permanent.
FAQ
Are 'clavicular' exercises different from normal training?
No. They're renamed rear-delt and upper-back work.
What's the single highest-ROI move?
Face pulls, daily, high reps. It fixes posture and grows the muscles that frame your collarbones.
Why is bonesmashing bad?
You cause micro-fractures with no way to control where the callus forms. You can end up worse-looking and in chronic pain.
