Vascularity!?

[freakshow85]

Besides what everyone has mentioned, there are other things that factor in. Temperature around you and what you have taken in diet wise that day. Lots of things affect it. Mainly, though, stick with training and you will see them slowly appearing. Some days, when it's hot out, my arms look wicked from the veins, and then other days, if I'm a little cold, you can barely see any veins.

Age... Just become an old fart like me, and you'll be sportin' veins everywhere but your toe nails.

In addition to age, low body fat is the biggest part of vascularity. I don't know of any AAS which will help get you there, but obviously anything commonly known to reduce body fat and water retention will help.

correct.. i was 6% body fat when i was an endurance runner and i was not vascular. it will improve your vascularity but it won't mean you will be vascular to your liking

Complete bro-science right here but as an endurance runner I'm sure you were pretty skinny, no?

Wouldn't you need a decent amount of muscle mass as well as low BF in order to show a lot of veins?

I did keto for 4 weeks, to see what it was like, did a small depletion workout Fri, ate carbs all night, all day Saturday.

Worked out Sun...dear god. Best pump + vascularity ever.

No matter what other factors you take into consideration, you will never be vascular with high bf. You must cut this as a priority if you want to be really vascular.

The key to vascularity is bodyfat....plain and simple. Pumps, heat, carbs can enhance it but bodyfat is where its at

Some people are just not genetically vascular. (in the way we are speaking of being vascular)

I'm only 9% bf guys and I still have hardly any :/
6ft 205lbs and I would say I eat about an 8 on a scale of one to ten healthy wise

well if thats the case, there is genetic factors and individual variance...no need to get upset..if you are that big and 9% Id be happy!!! Are you 9% from a dunk tank or your own estimation? So many folks are just guessing, or if you have some idiot from the gym do calipers you are probably off too...
