Is this for real!!???!??

[shafts basson]

it looks like it one of those got pricked it would gush out all his blood. i dont think that looks good at all

Vascularity is not part of the judging criteria. I do think that being vascular can make you appear more cut however. I read something a while back (probably in md) that branch warren was being criticized for being too vascular.

Valid point, but vascularity shows low bf % and muscle maturity, Are you saying branch does'nt look good ? the judge was probly a complete knob anyway, they always are.

Ok, so I know it's not McGrath in that first pic, but I did used to hang out on the main site that he frequented about 7 or 8 years ago, and I remember him explaining how he would get crazy vascularity like that. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly... I do recall it was dietary, and basically had to do with carb refeeding. The look only lasted about a day or so.

McGrath is a really nice guy, btw.

Im going to quote you on that, ive heard them insane viens come from a form of training called 'tourniquet training'.

Hidetada yamagishi uses it. It involves tourniqueting the body part you wish to train and proceding by training that part to failure.

The theory behind this idea is that starving the muscle of oxgen and blood gives an initial rush of oxygen and nutrients on release of the tourniquet, giving an insane pump and creating great vascularity/hardness.

Or it could just be all the gear he is on!!!

to me, i think that looks ridiculous and it appears he crossed the line years ago. i just can't see how that would be healthy. to each their own.

how is having a lot of veins unhealthy? If anything its prolly more healthy.

when u wear contact lenses for too long veins start to build up in your eye. and i dont think that's anywhere near healthy....Lots of veins means your body has trouble getting its oxygens and gotta build more veins to compensate.

[americanoak]

hmmmmmmm i could be wrong but im pretty sure there is nothing wrong with being very vascular and im sure there is a diff between the veins when contatcs are in too long and when you get veins from lifting for many years

i could be wrong but.... i rly dont think veins r bad lol

I'm not massive on that,
I'm still more a fan of the old school BB physic like Arnolds and just prior to his hayday.
As much as I can respect Cutler & co I'm just not as much of a fan of that kind of size & vascularity.

[sean_holland]

I don't find that appealing at all. I like to be big, I like to vascular but there is a line and this freak has far crossed it. There is no glory and no blow jobs at the end of his rainbow...

Just a freak show!

It almost makes me sick to my stomach to look at the first pic at the start.

Freaky with that music in the background... like something from the interstellar medium.

[desizon]

brb doing forearms twice a day... that's interesting though.

[Times Roman]

Kinda makes my sh1t look small and feeble!?
and btw... can you imagine? every little cut and scrape is a potential gusher?

[SEAviator]

awesome...

im also from bb.com btw

[gym_junki]

gaspari had some veins on him.

Ive heard stories about bbs blood doping. That could explain the freaky veins. Not sure if they really blood dope or not but ive heard it more than once.

how the hell would u take ur shot wif all them straws.

ya id puke if they were mine
