| Vascularity (n) – a very silly word to describe being all veiny. |
I’ve made it a point over the years to avoid, at all costs, workout plans and techniques geared around aesthetics. It’s not that I don’t care what I look like a little, and it’s not that I don’t enjoy the visual improvements that have come along with increasing my fitness. It’s just that for me, that’s not the point. Lifting weights, especially, has always been about what it will allow me to do, rather than what I’m going to look like later. It’s another reason why I spend almost no time on isolation work.
Still, when I’m halfway through an upper body session, and my arm starts to look like this, it does feel pretty good. Katie says it’s gross, but the BRO in me thinks it’s sorta badass.
