Before it used to be real easy for me to pop up my veins..one warm up set and there they were..but now even after a full workout they're nowhere to be found. What's up with that?

Either you are building up fat storage, or you are retaining water.

During Summer it is very easy to get dehydrated and not be as aware of it.

Drink more water, or maybe take some Midol....that might help with water retention :p

My muscle mass has definitely increased since a few months ago..along with fat too though. My forearms are relatively the same size though..but how does fat affect it? The most obvious places where the veins are on my hands..and it's not as if my hands have gotten any fatter.

i would think that fats right under your skin and it covers the muslce and viens, so if you gained fat you're definately going to lose definition.

You need to stop shooting up so much, methinks. :p

If you've lost all of them you must have really chunked up :p I'm probably about ten pounds over right now and haven't worked out (on any sort of regular basis) in about a year. I can still pop the veins in my shoulders, one bicep :confused: calves, and forearms completely cold with no pump whatsoever. Stop eating :p

Yep, your BF% has increased. The more BF you have, the less vascular you will look.

Time to hit the treadmill and moderate your diet.
