Getting Vascular

Bodybuilders and Competition Athletes are all after one thing, veiny arms, vascularity, and that dry, hard, chiseled look. Why are we all trying to look veiny when much of the rest of the internet is trying to avoid looking veiny? Well being veiny, which is often referred to as vascularity, improves the visual appeal of fitness athletes. Visible Veins make the skin around them look thinner which enhances the visual appeal and gives that dry hard look.

Being veiny however isn't entirely a sign of peak fitness, it does occur naturally and sometimes even those who spend no time in the gym have veiny arms. There are some things you can do however to make your arms more veiny and to enhance this look. Let's start by examining what causes veiny arms.

What Causes Veiny Arms?

Two of the main causes of veiny arms are a low body fat percentage, as well as high muscle mass. The nice thing is these elements are entirely under your control. There are a few other factors however that can lead to veininess.

Some other factors that lead to veiny arms are high blood pressure, high stress levels, age, and genetics. While high blood pressure and stress levels are things under your control, ther'es not much you can do about genetics or your age, let's focus on the things we can control.

How to Make Your Veins More Visible

So whether you're a bodybuilder, a competition athlete, or you just want to look veiny and ripped at the beach, there are some things you can do to make your arms veiny. These changes have to due with your body composition, workout routine, supplementation, and diet, so let's hop into it.

REDUCE BODY FAT

One of the most important factors when it comes to vascularity is your level of body fat. If you have less body fat between your skin and your muscles your veins are not going to pop as much. You can fix this by increasing the level of cardio you do, eating at a calorie deficit, and focusing on building lean muscle mass as opposed to bulking.

BUILD MORE MUSCLE

While your working on cutting fat you should also be focused on building more muscle. High Intensity Resistance Training will cause your muscles to grow larger and in turn cause your veins to move closer towards the skin. You can do this by focusing on lifting heavy weights with a high amount of reps or lifting until failure. Take short rest breaks between sets and if it's veiny arms your after, do plenty of bicep, tricpep, and forearm exercises.

DO MORE CARDIO

This kind of goes along with reducing body fat, but start including more cardio in your workouts. This will help you lose weight and it will also improve your circulation which will in turn make you more vascular and more veiny. 

WATCH YOUR DIET

If you're a bodybuilder or fitness athlete you likely already have your diet in check, but if you're more of a casual gym enthusiast and aren't as well versed on a proper diet, focus on eating lean meats like chicken breast, turkey, and lean beef. Eat dairy foods like greek yogurt, fat free milk, and cottage cheese, and make sure you stay hydrated as hydration also effects vascularity. 

SUPPLEMENTS FOR VASCULARITY

While supplements will likely only give you a short term bump in vascularity, they definitely will make you more vascular. Look for Non-Stimulant Pump Pre Workouts, these typically contain high levels of ingredients like Citrulline Malate, Glycerol, and Agmatine and will really make your muscles pop, especially when taken just prior to a workout. One of our favorite pump supplements is Merica Labz Stars 'N Pipes. Here's another trick to make yourself Vascular AF, and this involves something most of you already have around the house. Add some Pink Himalayan Sea Salt to your pre workout or intraworkout supplement and watch those veins pop!
