I have them all over my delts and bi's and tri's and legs. If you look close at bodybuilder pictures they are covered in them. Rob

As with what Rob (bore) said.. i don't think that many bodybuilders have them.. I mean take arnold as an example.. his pec and biceps were as smooth as anything.. they shine in the light.. I know that some pro's have them, but not coverd as you said.. and if you have many of them you should really look for a cure
