LOL...I too had this concern for years, seems like no matter how hard I worked out, never had that vein showing. I was as you say with muscle definition. But I really wasn't as defined as I thought, because not until I dieted for my first contest did that vein show up. Now it is always there no matter what. My experience anyway. One more thing, how is your B vitamin intake? There are some products out there too that can help with that if interested. Hot stuff vasolidator comes to mind. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!

They only portrude when I am lifting weights but because I am fair skinned I also have a nice blue-lined road map down my arms and chest. Ah well I don't plan on wearing a bikini any time soon. :0) :)

This is an indication that fat loss is occurring, how well hydrated you are and of course the pump you get when working out or doing manual labor. Hope this helps and puts your mind at ease. :) Melissa -------------- Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.

I have noticed, however, that the vein running up my bicep is sticking out now when I lift. A step in the right direction I'm guessing. -------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe

Also, as said - body fat - the more u lose - the thiner the fat between your skin and veins is - so they become more noticable. -------------- (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯The trouble with life is there’s no background music¯`·.¸¸.·´¯) (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them¯`·.¸¸.·´¯) (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯God must love stupid people, he made so many of them¯`·.¸¸.·´¯) (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯Life ain't short, your just dead for too frick'n dam long!`·.¸¸.·´¯) (¯`·.¸¸They know what is what, but they don't know what is what, they just strut,WTF!¸.·´¯)
