Bigger muscles require more blood so you need bigger veins... That video is kinda stupid though why would he put that on you tube... arms are way veiner than that and i dont bother.

It could also depend on bf%, I mean whoever saw a fat guy, who's just getting into big lifting, popping his veins, under his 40% bf?

Ya true... I'd like to know bf% I'd guess between like 4-10 its pretty damn low...

Funny story I was once on the city bus and veins were really popping that day so I was looking at arm at all the viens. Kinda grungy guy beside me says man your making me jones! But dont worry I havent in years I'm clean now... but all viens are gone not like yours.
Hopefully I didnt get him shooting up again that would be pretty bad.

obviously body fat and geneitcs play a part

also some people have deeper veins than others which will make it hard to show them unless going to extremes...even when i'm at about 10% bf i have hardly any...in the photo's on rich-fit.com i'm at about 11 - 12% and there aren't any

also more muscle will "push them towards the surface" i suppose
