A member asked:
I workout regularly, and have low body fat %. my forearm veins show a lot. what could be the cause, and is there a way to reduce their show?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are normal: You already answered your own question. You have low body fat percentage. Lifting weights will increase the visible show of your veins, especially in your arms.
