    ... that would be from a poor diet , training and higher bodyfat %
    .. and do you do cardio?

    more leaner and cut you are the less bodyfat % you will have which will make the veins appear alot easier, not tryin to flame but if you dont have that , there is something wrong with either your diet and training or both.

    .......... how old are you btw?
    usally when people bulk there are "bulking" they are taking around 5000 caleries and packin on the weight so its almost impossible to see veins.

    exactly... my diet consitsts of betweet 4700-5000 calories... around 400g or protein..
    and im 24 btw..
    so im guesing that i just have to bulk up... then when it comes time... run a good cuting cycle to cut down?
    i knew while bulking it would be nearly impossible to see veins, i just didnt know if there was some way around it

    ya very hard to see veins while bulking, when you start cuttin down with your diet and cutting cycle you will have less bf% which means more visible veins.

    Out of curiosity, do you have any ab definition at 15%? I always try to tell people they're going to need to be 10% BF to see abs and 7% to get veiny, but that was always just a best guess.

    All of this is individual dependant and genetics as well. Some people are naturally more vascular than others and some not. I've seen guys who look vascular at 15% and others who don't.

    Upper abs only at 12 -10% you can see everything.

    Try Niacin (vitamin b3, the flushing kind). I have taken up to 3 grams per day of this stuff and im not that genetically vascular, so this stuff does work, and you can get insane pumps.

    genetics, if you aint got thick big looking veins, well, there's a pretty good chance you'll never have them...if you lower your bf% enough, of course you are going to be able to see some veins... but not the kind of ones that I guess you are talking about..

    can also be genetic like others said. i have seen pics of pros down to 5% some have veins in their abs and chest even back some dont at the same conditioning levels. then you see pics of pros in off season at high bodyfats and some of them still have veins. its hit or miss, but for the majority of people it comes down to how low your body fat is and how hard your muscles are. some people are so carb depleted they cant even get a pump.

    Yes I've quite a lot of them on my forearms and only some on my upper arms. My advice to get them?- Intensive, heavy- weighted workouts...haahaaa. But very often veins also might look quite ugly, especially if a skin color of arms is quite light, but veins r colored blue or violet. Did u really mean veins- maybe u want more bulged sinews...?-

    Someone has bicep veins even with 18% bf.
    It's just genetics or fat skin
