    weird question

    I was asked a weird question today at the gym. And didn't know what to say really.

    I was asked how to get veins to pop out. I answered lower your bodyfat.
    Then asked if there's anything that will help them (veins) pop out.

    I again said work on your bodyfat and keep lifting.
    BUT- is there anything that helps?
    Never really thought about this.

    Oh one funny response from a guy was- put prep H on your arms...
    What the heck would that do?

    Nitrate. Creatine nitrate or any supps with nitrate in it.

    Increase water intake, I believe taking a supplement that increases your pumps will also but there are a couple ingredients they use 1 of which has no effect but I forgot what the ingredient was, also increasing rbc and cardiovascular function through cardio

    You were correct with your answer . Even a very small layer of BF will blur vascularity. Niacin, NO boosters and the such with bring them out. Sugar and caffeine also but BF has to be low

    The main thing is drop BF, if you have a layer of fat covering the muscles, u simply won't be vascular..
    now, genes also play a role, some people are naturally more vascular than others..
    Drink lots of water throughout the day. Dehydration decreases your vascularity by filling the skin with water... when it comes to training doing supersets allow u to get bigger pumps and an increase in blood flow to the muscle for improved vascularity.
    and of course high intensity cardio which helps burn the most fat without losing muscle mss.
    Creatine, L Arginine, Nitric Acid are good vasodilators. ..

    Re: weird question

    The preparation H response was accurate and a well kept secret. It will pull moisture out of the skin, helping give the thin skin look and making veins more visible. I know that people who have needed to drop weight for competition will cover there abdomen in it and then wrap it in plastic wrap before bed. I've seen people lose upwards of 10 lbs of water weight this way.

    The preparation H is used by some women for the bags under their eyes. Heck even my wife has done this after a night at the club. Pulls the moisture out.
