    How can I get veins on my biceps?

    Hi, I was just wondering what specific exercises I can do to get veins popping out and running vertically through my biceps.

    If anybody has a good exercise, please tell me what it is and how much reps/weight I should be aiming for. Okay, thanks.

    Exercise hard, and diet smart. Vascularity is part genetics, part training, and part bodyfat%.

    The most powerful factor in your case is a loss of body fat, which requires dieting.

    I'm sure you have veins on your biceps. You just can't see them.

    Is this really that common?
    I see plenty with bad form or stupid routines that neglect lower body but none very huge. Most are just permanently at a plateau until they get hurt.

    Re:

    You can just GET veins! They aren't things that you can build because you were born with them so it depends on your anatomical variations (genetics play part here) but if you want them to show then you'd have to decrease your body fat percentage first and foremost and keep on pumping that iron
    once your biceps grow bigger, they'll be even more evident (the veins). Besides, why do you want more veins on your biceps? most women HATE them so it's not that it's very attractive (unless you're not aiming at meeting women or getting laid!).

    and guys that are big, they swing the weight because they dont yet have the strength to move it in strict form. iam not small but i use a 55 db and do very strict form moving it up, some biger guys dont have the discipline to keep focus when woman are around so they get sloppy to impress the girls. but they know how to get big, and others thats wat works for them. i also see guys that are small and YOUNG do alot more weight than me with strict form to. i like the strict form better. even bouncing weight off your chest in bp is bad you need to adjust that. your getting nothing out of that use the chest muscle, you be able to feel the chest pushing the weight towards the sky, if you have enough mass youll know wat iam talking about.
