this may sound stupid, but i see a lotta guys when after they lift, you can visibly see their vains - is this because i have too much body fat, or am not lifting enough or?

i think its alot to do with genetics.. ive been vascular/vainy in my arms and legs all my life, even when i was at a higher bodyfat..
But it would also be to do with bodyfat levels, if u where to get to like sub 5% ud have to have veins..
I just dont carry much bf on my arms and legs..Keep Your Eye On The Prize!, Never lose sight of what you want.

Also it depends on hydration and sodium and sugar levels in your body when you lift...

alot has do to with genetics. I have friends who have veins and they do not work out. Yet, even though I do not have a very low bf, I have been lifting all my life and have only had a slight veins showing. My biggest vein is in my forehead when I am squatting

If you want more veins, reduce your carbohydrate intake, i've noticed that when i eat high protein, combined with eating real low in carb, i get real chiseled and cut, however i feel sluggish and lethargic when i do that. That's why bodybuilders in precontest experience the "Precontest Syndrome"

The only places my veins show up much are mainly my forearms, where they pop up big time, and my biceps. Im not particularly veiny what is a good thing!
The only thing i want fat free is my women!

when i was around 200 pounds 22% bf i could barely see any veins when i lifted. now im at 183ish no clue what my bf% is but my arms (forearms, wrist, biceps) are popping with veins when i lift. not sure what my bf% is now though but its a big difference.
