there are 3 degres of "ripped-ness."
veins in arm isn't ripped, most people have them
Level 1: Vein across bicep can be seen unflexed, 6 pack.
Level 2: Vein across chest can be seen after gym, 6/8 pack
Level 3: Vein across abs after gym, 8 pack.
usually only bodybuilders hit level 3
Ok, I am more "ripped"(according to your definition) than I
thought. LOL!!!
