Gain size in the upper back

javaman12 Posts: 4 Joined: 2005/09/14	2006/08/25, 07:15 PM Hi everyone. I've been going to the gym regularly for about a year now and have seen significant gains. But the one part of me that doesnt seem to grow is the upper back, between the top of my neck and my shoulder blades. I do a lot of back and traps exercises like rows and I shrug heavy weights, but its just given me a lot of size and definition at the top of the muscle. I want the area around my shoulder blades and right above it to get bigger, because right now I look kind of awkward because my back is basically flat while my chest sticks out, so I'm looking to compensate. Any ideas?
