making your veins bigger?

[Jumbo18]

so this may sound odd, but in the gym i noticed a tall guy who was in good shape, however his veins literally looked like they were mini pipes.... how exactly do your veins get bigger when relaxed? is it generally the more mass you have the bigger you're veins get, or testosterone in general will dialate your veins larger?

[jamyjamjr]

testosterone will cause greater vascularity... but vaso dialation can occur due to many factors..

i have a friend who has alotta vacularity, but when he gets cold (like in his convertable) his veins constrict, making it look like there's nothing there..

it's like a guy who has a 10 inch cock when hard but a 1 inch cock when soft.. kinda weird...

hey, nothing wrong with being bi curious okay!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha....

im sure dsm would have a blast with this one....

To a great degree vascularity is determined by genetics. Of course, low BF% will make veins more apparent.

Agreed, either you are a vascular person or your not. I didn't think I was a vascular person, but then I dropped my bf% and veins started emerging all over my forearms and arm.

Outside of "NO products" I don't see any way to make your veins bigger. Does GH make your veins bigger? I heard long-term GH use might make your veins bigger.

any vasodilator (nitric oxide, anavar) will do it. decreasing cortisol will do it. being low body fat does it more than anything.

i read is is good for vascularity but i havent had 1st hand experence with it.

+1 . Var will show the ropes... and low BF.

i have been told by a doc that i have low veins and he said that some have high veins and some have low veins. this means, like everything else you have read, "that different people react differently." weather or not the ropes are shown or not is dependent on you and where your veins show.

There are a number of factors in veins being dilated and bulging. Some are increased RBCs, increased sodium retention and anything that increases nitric oxide. One major factor in AS use that is never mentioned is that the drugs that induce this effect the most are the ones that either inhibit progesterone or have no activity on the progesterone receptor. For example Masteron, Anavar and Winstrol are all DHT analogs/derivatives and are antagonist to progesterone. I believe this could be a major reason it makes the veins bulge. The latest research is showing that progesterone is very important for vein integrity. When a woman has estrogen dominance (low progesterone) she is more prone to varicose veins.
Equipose is the other drug largely known for bulging veins, it is however a testosterone derivative. Although DHT has much more of an anti progesterone effect, testosterone drugs can have some simply because they throw off the natural test/progesterone balance. I also think the strong rbc increasing effect of Equipose is probably a major factor here.
While bodyfat % and genetics are clearly factors, there is more going on than just that.
