Muscle in your shoulder blade locks up on shrugs... Hmmmm U think it's your levator..
Elevates the shoulder blade and since you are not just working traps but also that on a shrug.... AND most people hold stress in their shoulders anyways so I'm sure those muscles are always loaded with knots... making it lock up. Try a levator stretch....

Scroll down and look at the levator scapula stretch. You can do it standing also... I call it the scratch and sniff.. Scratch your back with one hand, and sniff your arm pit

[jenscats5]

Thank you Ladies!!

My husband actually ATE sushi!! Well, it was all vegetables - but it's still something as he's a very picky eater......

 

[Roonytunes]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

I can't forget how Jens' husband was describing how eating for him is such a chore when I met him. For someone who loves to eat like me, it's so hard to fathom. But I understand how it's a big deal that he ate the sushi

Jens, I bought a toaster oven today just based on your recommendation a while back. I am so stocked up now on appliances - wafflemaker, crockpot, toaster oven, blender, chopper, muffin trays....& to think once upon a time, I didn't ever cook
