Got Veins? - Page 2

Madman, are you generally fairly vascular? Before the abs started coming in did you have any protruding vascularity?

**madman911** · 10-31-2006, 03:46 PM

I would say my forearms start showing some decent vascularity around 12%, but nothing that would turn heads. My arms didn't start getting really vasculr until I went sub 10% a few weeks ago, that's when smaller veins running over my biceps started protruding. My chest and sholders are displaying veins but they aren't always standing out... depends on how much water I'm holding on any given day... after refeed they pop up, my lower abs have 4 nice big veins that are coming in better every day. I'd say that once you get below 10%, that's when your level of vascularity should become apparent even if the veins aren't always visible at all times. On show day after you dry out and fill up, then all your veins should be front and center. How warm the room is makes a big difference too. When I get out of the tanning booth, I am vascular as hell from the heat.

i'm a bit late ... but congrats Madman lookin great.

Damn, I was hoping you were just naturally vascular.

Last week I noticed protruding veins all over my pelvis. Lower abs are a big fatty problem spot though and my arms are nowhere near yours in vascularity.

I have a really cool vein on my forehead when I'm angry, in case anyone was interested.

I get veins that pop at different times of the day. I hate when i'm cold(most the time), because my veins all dissapear.

BTW: Looking very vascular madman!!
