What Causes Veins That Show Through Skin?

I have what looks like a tendon or vein in my arm protruding through the skin where my bicep meets my forearm. I was wondering if it is something to worry about considering I will be lifting heavy weights tonight? There is no pain but there is a bit of tightness.

Hi
I had gone through the question and understand

Visible veins are mainly because of two reasons;
1) when skin if quite thin
2) when body fat percentage is quite low

There is nothing to worry about , as this thing is very common and normal.

Hope this information was of help.
Thank.you.
