Veins

I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2004/01/06, 02:20 PM Last night while I was working out and happened to look at my forearms to see my veins really enlarged. Can't say I am too fond of this look. I am wondering why now? After all this time of working out, why so big now, will this always be the case and if possible, can I do anything to help alleviate this?

I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2004/01/06, 02:25 PM Arms are showing definition charlie - maybe the loss of bodyfat had just made me notice them??? But this change has been gradual, one would think I would have noticed it before now....? I wonder what causes this?
	2004/01/06, 02:30 PM Sometimes my veins bug out to beat the band and other times they don't. From reading Rons journal I noticed he said his veins were showing more as he drops fat for his competition. Sounds like you ate well over the holidays and still lost BF!!!! You could make a fortune on those genes if you could bottle them. LOL -------------- Living well is the best revenge. Charlie

You didn't see it before because they were covered with fatty tissue, and you know that blood is going to your muscles to feed them while working out at a faster rate then when relaxed. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada

Are you saying this is a good sign for losing body fat. -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author

I have had virtually no veins almost all my weightlifting life until I dieted down for my first show. -------------- May the lift be with you.

shavondec Posts: 340 Joined: 2003/11/26	2004/01/08, 02:28 PM Never thought of it that way.

Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2004/01/08, 02:48 PM You can tell if they are into extreme sports just by their veins?...LOL Veins are veins, some are from exercise, some are from genetics. My mother has veiny arms but has never worked out a day in her life let alone do extreme sports. She's not very active either. ============ Quoting from cdjustason: Well veins on a woman can be sexy.
