What are some simple but effective exercises(Preferably bodyweight) to bulk up shoulder and back muscles?
I was born with an extrememely thin upper body and thin shoulders so I'd very much like to change that, and i've been doing a ton of pullups but they haven't helped me at all in building my back muscles. I'm just trying to bulk up, and more specifically im trying to obtain that V-shaped back. Also, for the shoulder exercises i cant do handstand pushups so if anyone has any advice i'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!

If you really want to bulk up the muscles, you will need to lift weights. Lift each set until positive failure, which should be between 4 to 6 reps. Some good exercises (along with pullups) are bent over rows (for back) and military press (for shoulders).
Lifting weights does not need be expensive. You can get a set of dumbbells really cheap (the kind you manually change the weight plates on).

You should try swimming on a regular basis, like 3 times a week. It's an excellent exercise that tones just about your entire body.

your best shoulder exercise is the military press, its most effective but maintain your form, do not swing your back or you will get hurt rather drop your weight, good thing here is that more testosterone is released which is a natural muscle and size growth hormone
