I Have horribly Small Baby Veins???

MasriDoode Posts: 11 Joined: 2005/03/10	2005/05/10, 11:39 PM I have such small veins that when I go get blood taken they usually have to poke me a few times until they find a vein, or they have to use a baby needle since i guess my veins are thin. So does the fact that I have small veins limit my ability to gain muscle..because I find myself working out with people, and doing more lifts then them but I do see myself gaining as much as them. Could this have anything to do with it. Some background info Im 6 ft, 160lbs, 20 yrs old, MALE

The reason you see big veins on bodybuilders is because they have very little body fat, not because their veins are particularly big. -------------- The path to righteousness is a cycle path

But as Princess said, I don't see any reason small veins would have any effect on your ability to gain muscle... Jsut my 2-bits! :big_smile:
