too musclular and vainy

kowser · 05-28-2009, 09:40 PM

I'm a 5'2 115 girl. I recently lost about 13lbs. some was due to stress and plus I'm in the gym now 4 times a week. My arms now are skinny ,w defined muscles and vains. I dont work my arms that much to look like that.They are on the borderline of still being feminine. How can i get rid of the vains and remain fit and a girl.
thx

Hmm...I'm not sure how to answer this.

Part of me want to tell you that you probably look great and only an insecure man would ever tell you you don't look feminine enough. I'd also want to mention that it's probably only you who is really noticing. However, I don't want to tell you how to feel about your own body...so I'll move on.

Vascularity is usually a combination of low body fat and genetics with muscle density.

You can't change genetics (at least not yet...come one gene doping!) and muscle density is a good thing, so your only option is to get fatter.

Unless you're underweight, or experienceing amenorrhoea you're probably not 'underfat' which makes recommending getting fatter essentially an unhealthy option. Unless you're rocking a visible six pack, at which point putting on a bit of weight is not unhealthy at all.

However if you're not super lean everywhere else it's probably down to genetics...and that's just how it is.

on another note you may feel better if you realized how many women are working their asses off to have what you see as a problem. You're not wrong, and they're not right, just thought I'd put that in for perspective...

Good luck.

thanks for the comments. i just have a few people worried cause it was a quick loss of weight and very noticable. but i guess not a bad thing!

**mindstar** · 05-28-2009, 10:53 PM

Well if folks are worried, there's no harm in going to a Dr for a physical. Might put everyone's mind at ease.

**Kaboom** · 05-28-2009, 11:11 PM

What does the rest of your body look like.Do you have a lean abdomen?

kowser · 05-28-2009, 11:47 PM

yes. a slight 4 pack to say. not at all disportioned. just want to keep a girlish fig, not be like the fitness competetion girls.

**islander** · 05-29-2009, 12:59 AM

Have you ever took or are taking any supps like superpump..no explode?

**Kaboom** · 05-29-2009, 08:21 AM

I say you are probably just pretty lean especially after losing the extra pounds and now you are noticing .You most likely look great.Of course the veins will show more while you are working out and right after.I dont believe theres no reason to be concerned like your friends or family were.
Nobody wants to tell you to gain weight and thats about only way you could make some of the veins less visible

haha^^

Uh mindstar I know you new at this but is there such a thing as a good explaination for pretending youre a girl lol

**mindstar** · 05-29-2009, 08:20 PM

Sure there could be a bunch of reasonable explanations...of course, it could also be that s/he is a weirdo.

**Kaboom** · 05-29-2009, 09:00 PM

yeah maybe his sister needed sum info too lol

**Freak** · 05-29-2009, 09:04 PM

You guys are hilarious!

kowser · 05-29-2009, 09:44 PM

my husband posted the shrinking post. he was signed up first just easier to post sorryy for the confusion

kowser · 05-29-2009, 09:46 PM

dont have a rage rage geez. it was a legitimate question that my wife wanted to know thats all. but thx fir the answes

**Freak** · 05-29-2009, 10:16 PM

check out the steroids myths section... roid rage is a myth.

kowser · 05-29-2009, 10:46 PM

ok stop the agressive behavior on assumptions. better now

**mindstar** · 05-29-2009, 11:06 PM

fair enough, and that's why I wanted to let an explanation come out. You have to understand though that there have been some whackos that have passed through these parts, so if people are a bit jumpy, that's why.

I think your wife should sign up! Now that we all sort of know each other, we'll all play nice. Plus there are some women here who may be able to answer questions and provide support too.

Cheers,

thebeginning · 05-29-2009, 11:26 PM

Agreed, two accounts would be better (and slightly less confusing/weird).

kowser · 05-29-2009, 11:28 PM

Tdubs88 · 05-30-2009, 03:43 AM

**Frag Hag** · 06-05-2009, 02:30 PM

One of the girls who WANTS veiny, defined arms, checking in! lol

Yeah, everyone else pretty much had it right. It's caused by low bodyfat, which, unless you're dehydrated or have an eating disorder, is a very desirable thing. Most guys aren't intimidated by defined arms unless you're anywhere near as massive as the guys themselves, which with your stats is not very likely.

Fashion magazines (though a horrible metric for basing self-image and acceptance) have even started including arm workouts for "sleek, sexy" arms, so it appears a lean overall physique is becoming fashionable. The workouts detailed in those magazines are a joke, of course. They're basically cardio you do with your arms, and you'll find much more beneficial health advice here anyway.

I'm glad you'll be staying and posting under a new account. Welcome to the dungeon!
