Do you want more?: If you want to see more veins, people with low body fat who lift weights seem to dilate their blood vessels more over time so you can see them, as well as long distance runners where gravity plays a role. If you want to hide or slow down the progression of noticeable veins- some people use compression sleeves while running or lifting weights to control the dilatation.

Arm veins.: The formation of arm veins essentially is related to your genetic makeup. However, weight lifting and using your arms for strenuous activities will increase the blood flow through the veins of the arm and increase the size of the veins. Thinner individuals tend to have larger veins because they are more easily noticeable.
