Not inherently true. I’m far from 5-8% body fat, but the veins in my arms and shoulders are clearly visible.

That's complete horseshite. You can easily get visible veins in shoulders and biceps with 15% body fat or less.

Visible 6 pack however won't show up until about 10% body fat.

This is true.

Some of that is genetics. You can't really change that, though.

Lowering body fat is the only thing in your control that really works. I have a bit of a bicep vein and if I cut a bit could pull an ab vein. I'm not sure I'm devoted enough to do the ab vein nowadays.

You need to lower your body fat percentage. While some people are just more vascular than others, most need to get it under 10% to start to see some veins. Once you have a low percent, you can manipulate the definition of the vein by playing with your water and salt intake/combination.

Like others have said, it’s a combination of BF% and genetics. Some people don’t carry fat on their arms too much and have it easier than others as far as arm vascular it’s goes, but they probably struggle showing veins in other areas.

Grab a "sick pump" everytime you got out.. also carry some pocket weights so you can top off in the bathroom..

/s

I have 20+% bf and get some nice visible veins on my arms after a decent workout for hours...

As far as walking around looking like an erect penis 24/7. Which girls said this?

I think that's from a Broscience video.

I've been doing farmer's walks and my forearm vascularity has improved somewhat without cutting bodyfat.

Have the right amount hydration & electrolytes, don’t be fat.

as you are dozing off to sleep, repeat in your head
"My veins are bulging" over and over and over until you fall asleep.
As you sleep, your sub conscious will take over and in the morning, you're going to be amazed.

Yeah, I tried something similar. Before I went to sleep, I would meditate and repeat "my penis is 11 inches" over and over again.

No luck

I would never do that. No reason to wish for a reduction...

Genetics yes.
Low body fat yes.

*just noticed you didn’t say anything about working out. Working out will do it. Just strain on your last reps.
Also a good pre-workout will do it.
It’ll widen the capillaries for blood flow and you’ll see more of your veins.
