Are the veins overtaking the muscle?

As a bodybuilder it’s only natural for a competitor to build up a physique that is at once massive and aesthetic. That’s the whole point of bodybuilding in the first place. Once you begin the journey of building quality muscle it’s only natural that you’d want to become the best version of yourself. The whole point of bodybuilding is creating a physique that is both satisfying to yourself and that separates you from the average Joe. If you lift and look just like everyone else then it can be a bit deflating after all.

If you’re looking to take things a step further and compete on a bodybuilding stage then you’re certainly going to need some characteristics that set you apart from the rest of the athletes that take to the stage. If you’re looking to make your stamp on the bodybuilding world then you have to bring something new and different to the table. For Karl Anderson, that’s insane vascularity.

The amateur bodybuilding champion is massively muscled and known for his unusual genetic attribute. His vascularity is extreme and makes him look inhuman when he has a pump. The man seems to be proud of his unique trait as he makes a tremendous amount of posts of his irregular physique on his Instagram page. Check out one of his latest posts below.

With so much vascularity one has to wonder if Karl has taken this particular attribute to the limit? Obviously he can’t control exactly how his body reacts to training, but there certainly a point of diminishing returns and at seems as though Karl may have reached that point. There’s a difference between setting yourself the part and changing your physique to the point where it’s no longer aesthetic.

Do you think Karl Anderson’s vascularity goes too far?
