Shoulder Blades Stick Out

[brandynq]

Hi,
My shoulder blades (a.k.a. the scapulas I think) stick out about an inch away from my back. It's mostly in the bottom corner near my backbone. I don't know if it's "winged scapula" because it's not that bad, it's just noticable. Does anyone know what this is or if I can fix it with some kind of an exercise or something? Thanks

Just because there's not enough meat on your back.

I was like this when I was really skinny.

Either add muscle or fat, or both (preferably muscle) and it'll stop.

I have the same problem> I'm skinny plus I have big shoulder blades. Whats a good exercise to add meat there? Bent Over Rows?

The muscle you need to work on is the serratus anterior.

Check www.exrx.net for some exercises.

before i started lifting i had 2 huge points sticking out of my back, it was very unique to do with my scapula bone, after 2+ years lifting they are of course still there but after building up traps and back in general they are invisable now and love drowned out in muscle..
point of the story, muscle mass will hide bones

You need to add back thinkness. ROW !

Hey,
Thanks for all the responses so far! I went to exrx.net and I found a few exercises and stretches that they said would help make my Serratus Anterior stronger. The exercises were Incline Shoulder Raise and Cable Row. The stretches were Pectoralis Minor Stretch and Wall Lat Stretch. Does anyone know if these would work or if there are other things I should do instead of/along with these? Thanks

I used to have that problem before too.

After working out for a year or two it went away and not my back is chizzled.

I did several upper back exercises so im not sure which one helped the most or if they all did a share.

Add some mass to your back, and they'll be gone in no time.

Hit excercises that's good for the upper part of the back. I don't know but working on your lats might help also ;].
