    Trying to keep up with the Kardashians is an intense burden to shoulder .

    But wannabe bombshells are shrugging off the heaviness of the lift to achieve K-inspired contours.

    “Me after seeing Kylie and Kendall’s shoulders on the yacht in Mallorca,” said fitness influencer @ProteckPhilippe , or PP, in a TikTok clip of her grueling upper arm workout.

    The brunette centered her sweat session around attaining the slenderized look of the A-list sisters, Kylie, 26, and Kendall, 28, who cut toned physiques while vacationing on a luxe cruiser off the coast of Spain in June.

    “Yacht shoulders,” PP captioned the post, which muscled up over 7.6 million views from digital audiences — many of whom had a bone to pick with her for starting yet another Kardashian-spawned trend.

    A newcomer to the body-modification movement, “yacht shoulders” are slim, chiseled shoulders accompanied by a slight neck and chicly prominent collar bone.

    However, unlike the viral “TrapTox” craze, which sees beauty belles injecting Botox into their trapezius muscles for leaner looks, women of the yacht shoulders swing are flocking to the gym for the enviable exterior.

    “Those yacht shoulders are pending!” vowed UK exercise content creator Natalie Rose while executing a weight-training workout.

    Health tastemaker Nathalie Jennings echoed Rose’s sentiments in a separate snippet of her own shoulder-sculpting routine on a machine.

    Natalia, a lifestyle influencer, also took to TikTok, boasting , “So happy to announce that I do, in fact, have yacht shoulders,” she wrote in the closed captions of her post. “So blessed.”

    But, unfortunately, not everyone sees the ultra-trim trend as a blessing.

    “Arm and shoulder beauty standards is insane,” barked a detractor beneath PP’s viral video.

    “Ummmm they also get Ozempic, tons of work and maintenance done,“ alleged another about the Kardashians.

    “Love yourself,” a concerned commenter urged.

    And a little self-love, coupled with a little less social media, might be just what the doctor ordered for some easily influenced young women.

    In fact, a February 2023 study from the from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute found that cutting a teen’s scrolling time in half can “significantly” improve their body imagine in weeks.

    Alyssa McKay, 23, from Manhattan, previously told The Post that she immediately regretted undergoing a $7,000 breast augmentation in an attempt to mimic Kylie’s bountiful bust.

    “When I got my boobs done, the beauty trend was all about having the Kardashian look — big boobs and a big butt,” she said of the voluptuous family.

    “I wish I would have waited and thought about whether surgery was something I really wanted to do,” McKay continued.

    “I just want to be happy with who I am and my body as it is.”
