Since none of my freinds seem to care, I thought you guys might at least know how it feels. I was just excited because in the past month or so I'm finally seeing those veins bulge out on my shoulders/biceps/and forearms when lifting. I guess that means I've dropped my bf% down quite significantly from where it once was since I've never seen that before except maybe on my feet ;) rawk!

Good for you! I still think it is pretty cool when I see new veins, and getting leaner for this contest I see more veins than I have ever seen, places I didn't know I had them!! LOL....My wife doesn't care too much for them though. Keep up the good fat loss! Way to go.

It also means you're improving the blood flow to those muscles - which demand more as the work harder and grow more - a good cycle to be on - more muscle, less fat.

Great job.

Those veins look good -especially the one on the biceps......... I can only see mine when I'm working out but my work out partner got his alright. He's not really cut so I don't think it's always a question about body fat.

The veins are a great accomplishment! The one is my bicep is visible all the time now, and I feel like a powerhouse! I love how people who are into fitness are so pleased by anything new their bodies do. In a day and age where so many don't take care of themselves, this site is such a treat!

BB1fit is right I don't like the way the veins look but I can appreciate any man that is bodybuilding and gets to that point cause I know how hard you have worked. Since my last lean out my mother wanted to know if I was getting sick again because the veins on my legs and arms were beginning to show. It is good to be proud of what you are seeing.
