Zulu, not to be picky but an anorexic would probably not have that good a BF5 due to the reduced muscle mass.
Have seen the photos, cass, they are very impressive, but they look around 10% to me.
I have worked with bodybuildeers (female include, physique and figure/fitness) and they are leaner than that and not 6.5%.
and back on topic, what have people actually done to increase their vascularity. Please no speculation, and hold back from getting into a pissing match with others. This implies that the bodyfat is low enough to allow vascularity.
Have you not just read the thread? Good suggestions have already been made.
has anybody here found that biotest’s methoxy supp. helped w/their vascularity?
I think vascularity is just another one of those things that depends a lot on genetics. I’m at about 14% right now and you can follow a whole maze of veins up my arms all the way up to my shaved head. It just gets better as I get leaner. Being well hydrated makes it much more visible and a glass of wine does seem to exaggerate it even more.
How do you know that Cass is not more lean now than in the pics she posted? You dont. Obviously there is some variation with different methods of body fat testing. If she was really 8% which is leaner than her picture, isnt it possible that the machine may have said 6.5%? Back off you internet bad boys.
Sorry to highjack this thread about vascularity, but Goldberg brings up an interesting point about body fat testing.
Many traditional methods have a wide range of variance. If I’m not mistaken, calipers can vary by +/- 5% for example.
I’m not sure if this has been ever tested though, but have contest ready BB men and/or women ever been tested for their bodyfat % on a DEXA? It would be interesting to see if body fat is that major variable that makes these individuals appear leaner, or if it is more of a factor of water loss.
If anyone can offer more insight into DEXA measures of bodyfat I would like to learn more about it.
And then back to vascualrity: Genetics/hydration/ and nutritional status may play more of a factor that an exremely low bodyfat level. I’ve seen some contest ready individuals who have no vascularity at all because their diet sucks ass.
Oh ya, I’d like to add:
Vitamin B3, Niacin (the flush kind, not niacinamide) is great for vascularity.
yeah, ok sorry, back to the thread
i found methoxy & t2 (old skool) popped viens out very quick. prob just due to the decrease in body fat, but viens none the less
