😤
Veins poppin’ don’t lie, but water cut can trick.
Could be glycogen fullness, not pure lean muscle yet.
Vascularity’s great sign, but check scale and strength gains.
Harder pumps lately mean real tissue forming underneath.
Lean gain possible, but lighting can fool big time.
Keep sodium stable, see if veins still stay.
If definition sticks post-carb drop, that’s legit lean growth.
Track body fat weekly, veins alone don’t prove muscle.
