I am concerned about the news of Veins popping as I get stronger, and I am scared for that situation since I started to go to the gym recently and personally I don’t find the veins appealing, do you guys have any advice or exercises that can help prevent the veins from bulging out as I get stronger?
Fat. Fat has always worked for me.

There’s also a genetic component to this. For some people the veins just pop out more than for others. Honestly, it’s not something I would stress over.

Not much can be done if you also like being on the leaner side. More muscle and less fat equals more vascularity.
Donating blood frequently will help slightly. You also get the benefit of helping someone else. If you’re like me though, you will still have lots of bulging veins.
I wouldn’t worry about it being unattractive unless it is ridiculous. By that I mean something like this:
You have a few options:
- As mentioned get fatter. 25% body fat should be sufficient.
- Wear long sleeve shirts
- Get strategically placed tattoos.
- And the best solution: Quit lifting weights and on the plus side, you will have freed up some time

I’ve heard you can get vein removal surgeries too. They may be costly, but they’ll stop you from having unattractive veins, and you don’t have to pay to take them out of your whole body, just upper body if you want. Or DIY, cut a slot in your arm open and start pulling them out.
