Vein Question

[Shades McCool]

Ok, this might be a silly question....but I have started to notice that the veins in my arms are staying out all the time now. Even up on the front of my shoulder you can see right through the skin and see veins. On my arms the veins are sticking out and you can see them reall good now. What is the actual cause of this? Is it a drop in body fat for is the actual muscle getting bigger? Veins Rock!

Drop in body fat and genetics. Also, when I take high doses of ALA, my veins pop out even more.

Most liklely it's from an increase in blood volume and and increase in muscle size. Of course if you increase the amount of air in a balloon it gets bigger. The same think happens with the vascular system. Also, as the muscles get bigger they require an incresed blood supply which effects the size of the veins and the amount of blood/volume of plasma in the body. Anonther factor contributing to the "permanent" status is the fact that a well trained body is very metabolicaly active. This requires substrates to be shuttled to the cells at a greater rate and volume and also requires the removal of cellular waste at an increased rate/volume. This keeps the veins bussy in a sense.
