Could be the Delts work you do. You should be doing stuff like Front Raises, Side Raises, Shoulder Presses, Bent over Side Raises etc etc.

think illusion

a small waist will give the illusion of wide delts even if they aren't although big traps do the opposite and once you have big traps they don't shrink back to normol size

as well as all side raise variations do the same volume for rear delt as well...i wouldn't do the dame fro the front delt as he gets a lot of work from bench and shoulder pressing so maybe 1 exercise for 3 - 4 sets or so

best width exercises i say are Horizontal DB Swings (search these), High Pulls (using a wt that you can only raise up to your mid and no higher), L Laterals (take out elbow weak link) and Power Laterals (same as high pull but with DB's and raiseing up as normal)

most important thing is to constantly change the way you hit them so maybe devise 3 workouts with different goals and rotate throught hem for 4 or so weeks
