Real or Photoshopped Arm?

It’s not mcgrath. Its david pulcinella. Raising The Bar is a good video.

You’re wrong, Bonez.
It’s DEFINITELY McGrath. Look at the OP’s pic and compare to this video.

Every person has a unique vascularity, like a road map. You can easily see the same “routes” on the OP pic and Frank’s arm in the video.
Dave Pulcinella’s “map” doesn’t match. Look at that loop in the OP pic. McGrath has it, Pulcinella doesn’t.

Maybe for an amateur. But for pros like me it’s easy.

LOL!

Im sorry. I dont see it. Maybe its neither.

I’m SO sure, I’d bet my nutsack that it’s McGrath.

Does anyone else think those arms are fucked up looking? That’s just not a good look IMO

I don’t mind it, but I do prefer the “off-season” look.

Ummmm a wrist/hand?

To this day, I still don’t fucking see it :frowning:

Damn good call, D!
No 2 men have the same vascular map. These arms share so many vascular similarities, I do believe you’re right with McGrath.

I dunno man - my Dad and I have almost (if not completely) identical vascular maps on our left arms. The only difference is I have one over my brachilias when pumped and he has one across the lateral head of his tricep. That’s about the only difference I’ve ever picked out.

He also gave me genes for varicose veins :slight_smile: woooooo

I think it is one of the most bad ass things that come with being lean and muscular.

When I got my first forearm veins and bicep veins when I was 15 and I asked my Mom why I had veins ‘grow’ - she looked at me and said “That’s strength, Ethan”. That has stuck with me to this day.

Vascular arms = bad ass.

I agree about vascular arms looking bad ass to a certain degree… I just think the arm in question is too vascular (for my taste)

yeah i remember the first time I had the upside down Y vein pop out in my arms (while not working out) and it was awesome. It was something I always wanted ever since I started working out lol

Same here, veins can look good because they are a sign of low body fat/having muscle, but if low body fat is already evident regardless, I’ve always thought the less veins the better

For sure lol. Those viens are downright freaky. It’s like he’s got hydraulic hoses implanted underneath his skin.

EDITE: Also, regarding the vascular mapping, I’d say it’s probably largely genetics based… hence (whoever mentioned it… too lazy to look) and his father’s similar viens …I don’t think Pulcinella and McGrath are anywhere near that related lol.

BTW guys, it’s written as “viens” spellcheck is wrong.


I don’t think its either of the two guys mentioned. Neither of them has that firehose running along near the peak of bicep. See pic.

On the last picture to the left of the circle… its right there. his arm is at a different angle so its higher up

Not buying it.

Anyway, shuddup. I want Iron Dwarfs nutsack.

Heres a better example.

This makes sooo much sense to me now. I happen to be a guy who just has freaky vascularity too. To the point where, unflexed, there are huge veins on my biceps sticking out. But if i walk outside on a hotday its on another level to where every single person has to comment. I guess the heat somehow makes the veins pop out. Blow drying though, thats some intuitive shit.

Another thing I always personally thought contributed to my own vascularity was drinking massive amounts of water.

I’m just amazed you guys can “look” at an arm and based on it’s vascularity determine who owns that arm. I’m just blown away by that uncanny perception.
