that veign on my bicep?

Question

I'm a fairly serious weightlifter and all I want for christmas is that veign that runs the length of my bicep to be more visible. (jk I know it will take longer than that)

Does it appear with a larger/stronger bicep or is it just a matter of your body fat % that lets these show through?

Is it a proportion of both, if so what ratio do you think it is?

Answer 1

As stated above, body fat certainly has a large part to play. That you can control some.

But, I agree, it's mainly how you're made/built. Certain people's veins are just more muscular/thick naturally. Mine are, but I'm no bodybuilder. I've always had 'em like that since about 14y.o. They give the lab techs & nurses nuts when they need to do a blood draw. They have to shove the needle so hard to get through they often "blow out" through the other side.

I had knee surgery in Oct. and the nurse blew it 4 times. The anesthesiologist got frustrated with her, numbed it up with novacaine and did it himself to "show her how it's done."

Took him 2 tries, also. :)

Good luck with your bodybuilding!

Answer 2

Its all about bodyfat.. Im the same way you are and It was annoying me sooo much that I couldnt get the bicep vein... so i started dieting to lower by bodyfat.. I went from a 16% to 13% and now i actually see the vein more and more... Im also planning to go down to 10%... But try to lower your body fat and u'll see it!!

Pectoral?? i assume in case you rub your self against the carpet while doing bare push ups. this is biceps, yet once you bypass complicated on the downbeat, you will additionally paintings your triceps. (Yanno, i replaced into thinking why your authentic arm replaced into so massive)

Answer 4

yes less body fat will help it show through, sometimes it's just how you are made. I have big arms and low body fat and yes they are there but not to the extent of others I have seen as well.
