    Striations

    Besides lowering body fat and genetics, is there any way to make striations more visable, especially in the pecs, triceps and quads? Are there really exercises that can "bring out" striations, like cable crossovers, or is it a bunch of bull?
    "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training...what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." - Socrates

    "my bench press brings all the pecs to the yard and they're like, more striated then yours."

    Training for crazy strength gains!

    I cannot speak from personal experience but I remember reading in arnie's encyclopedia that machine flyes can bring out striations.

    Again, not personal experience, just rehashing info I read!
