tbh, You really wont be able to get your veins to really pop out unless your bf is around 10% or below IMO.

My veins pop out like crazy, but Doug has estimated my BF% at 11.7.

But yes, I agree, it has a lot to do with how much body fat you have.

Maintaining low BF% and continuing my lifts I've seen a lot of veins coming out. I hover around the 9-10% and this seems to be where the line is to get noticeable "Vascular Achievements" as I call them!

cardio does wonders as well. the more fit you are overall (cardio wise as well as lower body fat level) the more vein pop you will have. Im sure genetics comes in a little bit as well...
