England rugby player, collar bone?

Question

Hi, i play rugby for surrey and england u16, i have a large upper body with lots of muscle mass but my collar bones stick out and show up. Is there anyway i can hide this or stop it? i.e build up my pectorials and trapezius muscles? will this help and not make the collar bones so noticable?

thanks. x

Answer 1

your clavicle, do u mean sticks more forward? It might just mean u have a big frame that ull grow into? Does the joint click?the shoulder girdle is made up of different joints if thats causing you problems (from the SC joint or ACjoint) it could make ur clavicle stick out more? Go see a structual doctor like a chiropractor or osteopath they'll sort you out and even be able to test for weak muscles. If there is a slight problem and you build up just the larger mm groups (pecs, traps etc) you may be masking the problem. good luck
