Big veins in arms?

Question

one of my friends has many big veins in his arms, some of my other friends thinks it looks cool while some thinks it's gross. How do you get big veins in your arms??? I don't want to get big veins I just want to know where you get it, so i won't get it. Is it safe for him to get those big veins??? One of my friends told us that uou get those veins if you get tired then you wet your self, is that true??? Because sometimes I play basketball for about an hour and I go to shower, is it safe or not? Will I get those big ugly veins?? What are ways to avoid those? If i get those veins will it be safe???

Answer 1

its a genetic thing really, my dad has those veins in his biceps, and i have them in my biceps and forearms. when i was really in shape i had them going from my shoulders into my chest a little. when theres no fat on top of a muscle, the veins that are there sick out more, but not everyone gets them.

i dont think its got anything to do with water at all.

Answer 2

Are you asian like Korean, Chinese and Japanese? Because not to many caucasians are bothered by this. Well, I think it is true that you use your hand and wash it will make your vins larger. Or maybe, if you are too thin then of course these veins would be more prominent. also, when you do a lot of lifting it will make the veins bigger. I am partly chinese, Filipino and Spanish and I think that big veins in the arms are not good to look at. Some of them looks like worms under the skin which gives me the creeps!

Answer 3

Hahahaha. I'm sorry, but I found that kind of funny. It's just something that a person has, like blue eyes or dark skin or a freckle on their foot.

Answer 4

your question is like saying "how can i be taller, or have blue eyes"
either you have it or not. it's a genetic thing.
