Veins on cycle.

[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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
