Question 1

what causes blue veins to show under your skin on your thighs and chest which started since weight training?

Accepted Answer

Result of Wt loss!: It is due to loss of fat under the skin, and as the underlying muscles get bigger with training, the veins become prominent. The veins are located just under the skin, then fascia, under which the muscles are located. 
I am sure yeins become prominent elsewhere else also, but one sees them easily on the thighs and chestwall, while those on the back or back of thighs/legs are not seen easily.

Normal finding: I am amazed about how often patients ask me about the veins on their chest or breasts.  Occasionally they are spider veins but mostly they are blue veins.

May be ok: Prominence of superficial veins on the breasts are normal  if present on both breasts in similar pattern. Larger breasts have more noticeable superficial veins as a rule. If your breasts feel tender or overly congested get an exam by your Physician for peace of mind.
