What's the best/quickest way of going about this? I just want the veins to pop out of my arms and be noticeable.

They are a product of leaness in most cases, especially so with the bicep vein.

Yes, a question about your body fat %

No offense to anyone here, but I think that veins popped out all day long would look kinda ugly. I'd be wondering if it's due to the low body fat percentage or a health problem lol. I'd much rather just have the cuts and only see the veins popped out when I put my muscles to work.

My veins in my arms from fore arms to knuckles are always out.
My wife gets scared, but I'm used to it.
The Red Cross love it when I give blood!

My veins in my arms can be easily seen. Some ppl don't like it, but I do. Must be a sign of good blood flow. I think it's all about your vascularity. Trying getting good pumps at the gym and don't let light weight be an option. :angry:

Viscularity as has already been stated and restated is about lean body mass or low body fat....that's it...drinking won't get u get viscularity...and 2 liters is not that much....most people should aim for 1 gal which is 3.78 liters a day....

actually TorchTragedy is wrong... in order to show off the veins due to water intake you need to "dehydrate" yourself. less water=thinner skin and all that. this is what bodybuilders do... but it is dumb to do unless your going to a show... so dont do it. it is mostly due to genes and body fat. some people can get them some cant. good luck i guess...

Low fat + hard arm exercise in the 8-12 rep range.

If you do that the rest is up to heredity; they still might not show that much if you don't have the right genes.
