Hawaii and Niacin

[Voodoo]

So thus coming sunday Im heading off to the islands with my family for a week. While I've given up on tanning (cause Im so white theres just no hope) I haven't given up on my vanity, I have about 5-6% bodyfat I might as well have some fun with it.. So to the guys who purposely starve themselves to make viens pop:

Can I take niacin to make myself more vascular? Does it make your blood pressure rise? How about tolerances to heat/humidity? Other sides like dehydration? Give me the skinny, err well the lean and defined and veiny.

DO NOT TAKE NIACIN.

I took 500mg for the same reason and 10 minutes later my skin was on fir and I had a huge headache and I couldnt even stand up. I sat in the shower with ice cold water pouring down on me and I still felt like I was on fire.

If you really are at 5-6% bodyfat, which I honestly doubt, your vascularity should be good as it is. Drink more water.

Thats what I think.

maybe 7-8 but thats tops man, i just felt like looking alien for a day lol;)

i always went by if you can see abs clearly youre 8% roughly, and im leaner than that (thanks trenadrol) so i would figure less.

Vascularity is a strange issue. It seems like some people have it and some dont. But for me, I get it in certain areas like my quads and biceps, but my chest and delts its non-existent.

yeah, arms forearms and post delts have plenty, but i want to look full body vieny for the hell of it. but i dont feel like showering in a fetal position.

unless you are starting to get the veins running down your abs your not under 8% (trust me) i was 4% three months ago, its a bitch to get that low

I know Voo has already left, but I want to make one comment here and one alone...

Different Body Fat percentages will appear different on everyone. Some even with single-digit figures will NEVER see abs (not kidding). There should be NO generalizations with this at all.



Enjoy your trip voo...in short, I would have said take the niacin, but not for the vascularity you are thinking. Blue Print would have done a MUCH better job and I think I may have discovered yet another mechanism that I will introduce at some point that will bode body comp well...gotta experiment with people first though before going public....bwahahahaha!!!

i admit i have no idea what my body fat percentage is, but according to the one time i did have it measured, it was 9, and i was (well what i consider to be) fat. So I kinda use that one time as a rough guestimate, if i get really lean I think about 6-7, but im probably hovering in the 8-10 area. I just dont know, and I dont care to have it done a lot, frankly, Im more concerned with getting bulky and "fat" which unfortunately with my metabolism will never, ever, happen ;)
oh and i will willingly be a test subject for whatever your planning dinoiii.

one day my buddy told me to drink a bunch of maple syrup before working out arms that day.
