Develop your shoulders, all deltoid heads - anterior, lateral, posterior. The lateral delts imparticular. Exercises: military press, lateral raise, rear lateral raise.

The key to lat raises is to use small increments as you move up the weight rack. You need to jump in as little as 1.25 as large as 2.5# increments. Just a fraction of an inch on your lateral delts can make a huge difference.

Develop your lats! Exercises: pull-ups are a king movement, then rows and pull-downs.

Of course, you'll also want to develop your chest, arms, and abs or you'll look silly with massive lats and no chest, and huge delts and no arms. You also want to cut down until you have at least no love handles or a belly.
