So I've been doing bodyweight exercises semi-frequently for the past few months, and while I definitely feel stronger and can do way more reps of push-ups, pull-ups, squats, and lunges than before, I feel like I look no different and I've only gained one pound. I want to have less scrawny looking arms and shoulders, and for my butt to not be a pancake for once in my life. Not sure if this is shallow, but it would help a lot with motivation if doing this shit that my body really doesn't enjoy doing actually left some visible impact.
I know these things take time, but I'm wondering if my approach is wrong. What's usually the best way to actually build visible muscle? Is it about how much weight you lift or what? I feel frustrated. Hope this doesn't count as doomposting, just saw that's against the rules, I'm just looking for tips and venting at the same time.
Look in actual street fighting the fash terms being able to run and having endurance is going to count for as much or more than being super fucking swole. You don't need to be able to bench 300 lbs to knock some chud out, you need to be able to land a solid punch in the jaw, and then dance out of the way of any counter attack. You need to be able to run from the police. Being bulk is cool and all but for fighting you want cardio and endurance as much as muscle.

she didn't ask what's the best routine for smashing fash heads in with lead pipes and then leading a guerilla warfare campaign in the mountains
she asked how she can get some visible gains
Personally, I will shoot myself in the face before I ever start doing lots of cardio. Fuck cardio.
