Veins on cycle.

[Typo]

I'm near the end of a 10 week test cycle.
The pumps in the gym have been amazing. Before I started I had 1 vein running down the center of each of my biceps, now that vein has grown branches like a tree shooting off everywhere, I love it!

My question is; will these veins stay after my cycle, even a little bit?

 

[squatzilla]

No offense but this is like asking a mechanic after he fixes your car, if you'll ever have car trouble again. Almost impossible to answer. Keeping your gains after a cycle will depend on your PCT (which you did not post) & your training/eating & supplementation.

I wasn't aware that veins and muscle were the same in that regard?

I should of asked it like this;

If my pct is good and I keep all/most of my muscle gains, will my veins remain?

yes, those veins will definitely stay ( but you might not be able to see them )

when you get the blood flowing in the gym its normal for the veins to start popping out. its awesome. AAS helps boost RBC count and other factors which give you pumps, so yes once you come off you can expect less veins.. but thats why you cycle off and on.. eventually as you continue cycling and continue gaining muscle and hopefully not gaining fat, you will keep those veins over time. when you go off cycle use that opportunity to cut down your bf%, then when you run your next cycle the veins will be even better IMHO

baby steps.

My veins on Primo are crazy!

 

[OldSchoolLifter]

Primo is great for summer fun woot

It's most likely due to your increased blood volume. They'll probably fade away after your cycle unless you stay pretty lean and dry.

Halotestin + diet for veins. Nothing else even comes close.

absolutely, if you have a shoot upcoming or a comp then halo is the way to go.

but otherwise I would steer clear.. the sides are too much, just a fair warning to any newbs that want to try it.

Tren sides are 1000x worse in my opinion. At least halo is a well studied human grade/prescribed drug.

But I agree, its absolutely not a beginner steroid.

 

[stevesmi]

^^^ agreed, and of course I would not recommend tren for a newb either.. think you need atleast 4 cycles under your belt and you better know what a good PCT is to even think about tren.

 

[wootoom]

Tren is junk imo....i hate that shit...dirty dirty drug

What are you cycling OP? Var made my veins go crazy... To the point where I look like a freak doing a reversed grip deadlift (inside forearm veins... I have more veins there than bare tissue!) or oly-bar rows.

Var also allowed my veins to stay post cycle. Which was very nice. I've seen many people get incredibly vascular, only to have them fade after PCT. Likely due to RBC and blood volume, yes... But also due to decreased muscle volume. Large pumped muscles push veins tightly against the epidermis, making them more visible.

 

[topasch]

How does this work guys? Are this veins you already have that get more visible or do you get "new ones"?
I'm not really a veiny guy, at least not as much as others, and I'd like to know what effects I could expect. I hope its okay to ask this in this thread, but since its the same subject it thought its ok

 

[stevesmi]

after my last cycle of tren/mast I have a vein running down my calf and a vein on my bicep... they pop out during a workout, when I am cold like in the pic I have up they are barely noticeable. if i flex hard they show up.

so it all depends. definately drop your bf% and grow your muscle and that will improve your veins.. also taking supps that cause pumps seem to help too.

 

[topasch]

Alright thanks! Yeah I know with low bf there are more veins visible, but still with around 10% I'm not blessed with too many....its genetics I think. Sometimes you see guys with a lot more bf who still got MASSIVE veins on forearms and/or biceps. And most aren't even as big as me :-D life's unfair
Since I'll probably start cycling in the near future I just wondered how AAS affected veins longterm. Thanks for sharing your experience man

 

[stevesmi]

when i was 6% bf i had veins but not as much as guys i see with higher fat. so there are other factors, genetics being one of them.. also age as well.

i dont want to be crazy veiny but i do like the bicep vein.

 

[UA_Iron]

Genetics, and also age has some effect too. Your skin tends to thin out over time. I've also heard avoiding dairy helps as it will cause water retention etc.

My workout partner has some crazy veins, natty or on cycle.

 

[stevesmi]

ask your gf or wife if she likes the veins.. i bet she will say no.. mine hates them.

Yep, honestly, though mine loves veins; she's the first and only one I've encountered.
I'm a veiny freak. I need to hold onto this one, I guess.

My forearms look like spider webs... And the tops of my hands are even worse. There's at least 1 large vein passing through each square cm of my left hand.

 

[C.K.]

I take N.O. and creatine alkalyne off cycle... I stay vascular all year around

I'm just on 500mg test per week (first cycle). The veins/pumps are definitely my favorite thing about the whole experience!

the bigger i get, the less veins. not fat related either. idk what it is, when i was 160 pounds my forearm and bicep veins were always bulging out. now i have more smaller ones like ones running around my arm from my bicep to my tricep, lat veins, upper abs sometimes, but the ones ive always had just dont "pop" like they used to.

think alot of it may be diet related too. whenever i eat pizza i pretty much look pumped for some reason. but i dont eat too much salt or high gly. carbs anymore
