How can i get those bodybuilder-like blood veins to pop out of my forearms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much fat: The biggest factor on the visibility of veins on arms is the amount of subcutaneous [ in the skin] fat that you have. Also the large and more toned the muscles are the more visible the veins. Good hydration and vasodilation from warmth or exercise help as well.
