Bulging biceps!!!!

apester

Cathlete
I just wanted to share since you ladies encouraged me to buy PUB that i was doing it tonight and I saw a vein in my bicep!!!!!!!! My arms are pretty cut but this is the first time i saw my vein!!!! I'm not gonna get overly excited and do upper body split tomorrow or anything. I am just so happy!!!:7
 
Not trying to take away from your excitement or anything, but isn't it funny how we get so caught up in something like a bicep vein? I do the same darn thing and get so excited when I get the results I want. Anyway congrats on your uhm veins !!!:D

Ha! I thought by your subject tile that you were upset. You go girl!! Just don't let Briee know you found one before she did!!!

If I started to see my veins pop, I'd cut back on whatever I was doing. I personally don't like that look on me.
 
Lucky you!! I've got a couple of shoulder veins, but no bicep veins yet, try as I might. Way to go! :D
 
An astute Cathe Forum participant just emailed alerting me to this late breaking thread. She shall remain nameless, but currently resides in Ohio, is relentlessly kind and encouraging to everyone who posts on this forum (unlike myself who can tend to be WAY more sarcastic than is necessary), and has greatly exceeded the recommended daily allowance for posts set forth by the Cathe Police, which, apester, you may not even realize exists. Well it does (but they seem to turn their head away from these little indiscretions sometimes, all to our benefit of course).

Just what might Briee do you ask......maybe a full month of daily PUB at oh say three times per day pyramiding 20, 25 and 30 pound weights }( }( . You know, I once thought I saw a bicep vein and after baking a cake and throwing a grand celebration involving friends from all ends of the globe (it was almost as big as Debbie's 2000th post celebration), I discovered it was just a ripple in the mirror I was looking into - positioned right where my bicep vein SHOULD be - when I moved it was gone (insert smiley guy in major anguish).

No guys, I won't do anything hasty here. I've been through too much.....me and my bicep veins that haven't appeared. I've tried it all, and I'll continue to try and maybe even add in PUB here and there just to be sure. But if thats the solution I'll be very mad that Aquajock didn't mention it to me any sooner (are you secretly doing PUB without telling me AJ or is the prescription for bicep veins really hidden secretly somewhere in a killer IMAX mish mosh that has been alluding me????).

And apester, please forgive the sarcasm, I am very, very happy for you and keep on posting your progress!!! I'm a sucker for anything involving bicep veins. :7 :7 :7 , but to be sure....the Cathe police will be checking on the validity of such a statement ;) ;) ;) . SERIOUSLY.... congratulations!!!!!

Briee (and her veinless bicep)

Susan...you of all people should have a bicep vein after doing 896 pullups per day....do you do them overhand of underhand - I'm sure the answer must be underhand as it employs more of the bicep :7 .
 
Ok, this forum is very entertaining!

true confessions: no visable bicep vein on this gal...but no under arm flab either, LOL!

I'm sorry my earlier pull-up post wasn't clear. I meant to say that I do 896 EACH of overhand and underhand pull-ups daily.

I wish I would have known about this before posting. Sorry Briee your day will come too!!! It was definetly not like Cathe's or anything but it was there. I can't wait to do upper-body split though to see if it comes out again. If it doesn't i will just do PUB more often and check out my right arm(only my right one) while doing it. Yeah now if i could only get rid of this little pooch on my stomach. I have what i would call a 4pack with a keg!!!!:+
 
Nope!! No bicep veins here either

BUT

I do have a couple of veins that pop out on my forehead when Im really really angrey...........does that count?

Marion

Oh Joy!! I am happy for you...Not!(wink, wink)

The thing I, like Briee, continue to strive for is the elusive bicep vein. I don't think it is fair that the veins on the back of my hands and the the ones going up and down my legs don't count one bit. If fact, I have had my legs injected! But where oh where is the one, which could possibly be attractive, on my bicep??!!}(
 
Susan would that be alternating hands (ie one arm pullups) because I have a heck of a time doing one arm pullups in the overhand position without rotating to the underhand position (and you should see what happens when I do crane using only my left hand, or one legged plie squats}( }( }( )

Kathryn....if you see the makings of a bicep vein beginning to occur and you make a note of what you are doing so that you can stop doing what you were doing, can you please let ME know what it is you were doing so that I can start doing it????? ;) ;) ;) Thanks!!

Briee
 
It varies, but I mostly like to do one-armed corn-cob pull-ups where I alternate arms and hand positions after each rep.

My new favorite move, though, is a no-armed tricep dip (straight-legged). I've worked my way up to 726 reps.:p
 
You win!!! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7


Apester...my sincere apologies for hijacking this thread. I want to thank you for posting this as it pulled me away from a big building project going on in our home currently. x( x( x( . We've had a few too many set backs lately and I NEED you guys here at Cathe's site to keep the day FUN!!! So how long have you been lifting weights??

Briee
 
You guys are all too funny! Now that I think about it...I have a few veins myself! And, they are not on my biceps either! ;-) Briee, who would have the audacity to alert you to a thread to make you feel sooo bad. Shame on her! Apester~we truly are thrilled for you! Has it re-appeared lately???
