ive started lifting weights recently and i can now see veins in my hands that i havent seen before..
is this because my body is making new ones or jus the fat in my hands is getting used?

its your veins dilating, probably to cool your body down.

It's 'cause your body's telling you to iv heroin and meth.

ya my veins have always gotten bigger and smalle but these ones i have never seen before

not of any concern bro

its just your body's response to maintain the intense workload

your muscles get pumped with blood when working out.

your veins enlarge because It is easier for them to carry blood around
Since you need it fast and the heart usually beats faster

If you had thin veins then your blood pressure woud go through the roof.

Sorry, but wrong physiology

Veins don't enlarge during intense work outs, as a matter of fact, they venoconstrict (becomes narrower).
If they had enlarged then you'll get a decreased blood pressure, hence decreased blood flow, therefore less blood is pumped back into the heart.

Bulging of the vein is caused by a process known as "filtration" and this is where plasma is forced out of the vessel walls into muscles, ultimately causing muscle swelling.
Muscle swelling results in surrounding veins to be pushed against your skin, that's why you see them... it's a normal process so don't worry about it

Hope this helped!

im not worried at all lmao...

i jus wanna know why im now seeing veins that i never have before...

The most likely cause that I can think of is that you've worked off the subcutaneous fat that was there before (where you're seeing new veins).

This is a good thing Work out wise hehe

stupid to engourage someone to do drugs, even by joke-___-
