Hi, those are not nerves but superficial veins (blood vessels). Veins often bulge during exercise but then diminish once you are at rest. During exercise, arterial blood pressure increases, forcing the plasma from the blood to pool around the muscles and causing the muscles to swell and harden. As a result, the veins are pushed toward the surface of the skin, making them appear more prominent. The appearance of the veins in your hands may also become more pronounced if you lift weights because your muscles are larger and harder, which also works to push the veins to the surface of the skin.
