Answer 1

The levator scapula lies along the back and side part of the neck. It originates deep in the side of the neck near the base of the skull, passes down and back and inserts in the scapula (shoulder blade). As the name implies, this muscle is the "shoulder blade lifter". This muscle tenses up, becoming hard and stiff, when you carry a weight on your shoulder.

Here' s a good web link about the neck.
