which veins come in first?

Willdabear · 09-10-2007, 03:52 PM

when you cut to a lower BF% what veins start to come in first? i know genetics plays a big roll but im just curious so i can know what to expect. so just lemme know from your personal experience...

ibzGSZ120 · 09-10-2007, 03:53 PM

forearms, always had massive veins in my forearms but when i started cutting down bf they showed even more, but thats just me

crakker · 09-10-2007, 03:53 PM

mainly my forearms and hands

DarkFlames · 09-10-2007, 03:54 PM

Forearms.

Willdabear · 09-10-2007, 03:57 PM

alright im getting that forearm vein that goes up into your bicep vein and i can see a blue hint under my bicep and if i poke it theres a divet, so hopefully in 4-5 more BF% that'll pop out.

thanks everyone

I've never understood why people like that veiny look so much. But I guess I can't really talk because I've pretty much always had pretty veiny arms.

being veiny kicks ass

vanilla sky · 09-10-2007, 04:28 PM

ive been veiny all my life but after i started working out the one where my bi's and forearm meet in the middle stuck out.

Volatiledisplay · 09-10-2007, 04:44 PM

Well once i started taking fown my body fat %, which was my main goal. I started seeing it like this,

1. Hands
2. Forearms
3. Bicep
4. on sides under belly button
5. Bicep connecting to forearms
6. Around my abs
7. Slightly on my chest

By now my veins on my arms are the same just more intense

tinyman5000 · 09-10-2007, 04:46 PM

Ive yet to get those lol they're so rare

Murraaaaay · 09-10-2007, 05:11 PM

My veins never pop out. I've got a little on the top of my hands and at my inner elbow but that's about it.

Domstar104 · 09-10-2007, 05:14 PM

Watching your hands get really veiny is cool.

Meitoku · 09-10-2007, 05:21 PM

My feet (serious), although that's not really impressive.

After that, I have veiny forearms and hands, and some around lower abs. Never got fit enough to have any more than that. =/

TDace25 · 09-10-2007, 05:48 PM

Another for hands and forearms

wanabeebig · 09-10-2007, 05:49 PM

wtf,? wow this question is great.

kfx450r · 09-10-2007, 07:08 PM

I wish I was veiny..damn I have like the most anorexic looking arms imo, yet I can ONLY see veins in my damn hand if i let them hang for a few minutes..I want teh vainz!!

ThatArmyKid · 09-10-2007, 07:09 PM

forearms don't really count everyone has veins showing there

chest maybe?

tinyman5000 · 09-10-2007, 07:09 PM

I'll do a set of db shrugs with 70 lbs and my neck literally bulges out and veins come out, i look like a freak because i'm way too scrawny to be that vascular

Battista · 09-10-2007, 07:09 PM

i have like a bf of 17% lol, and i have a huge ass vein in the top each forearm running up my bicep...i can only see it in my bicep with a pump though

o yeah, cant forget the huge ones in my neck and traps..i think once my bf goes down ill have really good vascularity

iatemeself · 09-10-2007, 07:10 PM

hands + fore arms

Baba_ghanoush · 09-10-2007, 07:54 PM

one in ur bicep....looks effin sick

swoljerboi · 09-10-2007, 08:19 PM

my feet and hands come first.. they have the least amount of fat covering them. Then I believe it is the forearm. But I have some massive veins always sticking out of my forehead and they get huge during a workout, especially during squats.

I belive veins pop out on the biceps around 15% bf.

=T Bone= · 09-10-2007, 09:05 PM

I get them real bad between my delts and chest,but they are real nasty lookin.All swirly and ****.

bicepguy3 · 09-10-2007, 09:32 PM

forearms

Laszlo · 09-10-2007, 11:16 PM

I think its supposed to go

highest-lowest

main vein in forearm (back side)
bicep vein
veins on outer side or forearm
veins in upper side leg(near the torso connection)
shoulders
neck
chest
back
abs
quads

or whichever muscle you have more developed.
If your 8% bf but have no legs you probably wont have veins in your quads
but if your 8% bf and have serrations then veins i will be

havef8th777 · 09-10-2007, 11:18 PM

with me its of course the arms then my legs come last(unfortunately)

ridley89 · 09-11-2007, 12:33 AM

My forearms have always been veiny and that vein that goes up your bicep popped straight out once I gained a bit of muscle.

I don't know why people like the really veiny look thats why most chicks hate really big guys because they can see there veins. The first thing a chick says when I show them a pic of a bodybuilder is "thats disgusting look at all the veins".

roomesh_s · 09-11-2007, 12:41 AM

The first will be that big vein that run in your forearms, then the small ones the forearm will start appearing. Later, u will see that bicep vein and if you continue dropping, u may find veins in your triceps. Then,, there will be the veins in your shoulders, then chest. Finally the long vein that run run off your calf will appear followed by that in the quads. If you still continue dropping you will finally see those so wanted ab veins and along with this there will be all these smaller one appearing a little everywhere.

This is what happened to me. It took 4 months to make the veins in the calf appear. But by then the contest season ended and i started bulking.
