the vein factor

[buksoon]

Hello girls! I'm new to the boards and am loving it. What a great community!

Anyway, this is my question: I've been lifting to failure for almost a year. I see a difference in my muscles, but also ... my veins are so much more obvious.

No protruding veins, just lots of broken capillaries. I look like a highway map of the United States.

Is there anything that can be done to repair/avoid?

Thanks!

are they vericose or just regular veins. If they're regular, that ok. More veins=more venules=more capillaries= mean more blood flow.

if they're vericose, you can read some info here

More veins the better!!!!

Well, I guess it's not a medical condition. Just my vanity (my sister calls me "Courtney Love" for having such pronounced veins).

I didn't think anybody liked them ... except for doctors drawing blood. They loooove them!

They're just so darned blue! All 'em blue squigglies! "To each her own" I guess.

I guess it means your blood is really flowing, so count yourself lucky..... Red Cross loves mine
