I used to go to the gym 4 times a day, but then academic circumstances led me to discontinue my schedule for an entire year or so. Two weeks ago, I was tired of losing my gains and becoming fat, so I just started doing 15 pushups and 30 squats (weightless) every single day. And I have to say, even doing these basic movements actually have made a noticeable change.
My biceps look bigger and even my forearms have developed. My chest fat has decreased, and even my gut looks leaner.
Should I keep doing this exercise with little incrementals per week or should I start adding sets to these?
Why would you change something if it's working for you?
I fear that my body would get used to this. This happened to me when I was doing Stronglifts 5x5 and Mad Cow 5x5 programs. My body got used to it, and I started plateauing and actually getting fatter
This may be a very retarded take without any evidence to back it up apart from my own experience, but when I felt like I was getting stuck on progress with push ups and sit ups, I stopped doing them for a week or two, and went back to it after that and shit seemed to work. Not to mention that during the rest weeks I looked better.
I believe there are studies on this, so not that farfetched.

If you look better afterwards do more sets, if not, return to the 1 set method you're doing.
Will do
You're delusional, you dont develop bicep from pushups, are you retarded or something?
You can with bad form
you stupid naggers think your bicep is doing nothing during a pushup? your arm is bending at the elbow. its literally impossible to accomplish that if your bicep was static
100 situps
100 pushups
100 squats
10-km run
Do these everyday and thank me later
You fags need to up your volume. There is literally NOTHING stopping you from pumping out AT LEAST 200 push ups, 200 sit ups, 200 air squats and 100 pull ups every day. Do a set every 30 minutes and you'd be done in no time. Repeat every day and you'll ascend beyond what you've known to be possible.
how do I keep it from impacting my weight performance?
Its better to do 3 sets of each exercise for 1 minute each and then rest for a day, but yes, all you need are some basic ass push ups and squats because they teach you how to contract and tense musculatrue for maximal output rather than using weight to do it.
I don’t understand how you people do next to nothing and somehow claim to be seeing results. This is me after 5 months of 100 pushups almost every day, 40 dips almost every day, and a 30 minute workout almost every day. Barely a difference.
Some people are fast responders when it comes to muscle growth.
Stfu you stupid nagger
> Waaagghhh you can't have better genetics than me!!!
Cry more bitch, do some heavy sets like rippetoad told you.
Stfu you stupid homosexual
>5 months
There's no intensity in this workout plan. Everyone fucks this up. That's what actually drives changes
Those 100 pushups are worth as much as one (1) challenging set of bench press
This is why rippergut is so popular here, but what yall didn't realize is it's just a simple high intensity program with plenty of recovery
Nah, you are fucking it up, if you are doing the same exercise with same reps over and over your body just gets used to it, you need a change of pace, rest and increased demand from your muscles to get results with a bodyweight program, intensity is personal, a person who can only do say 10 push ups is going to say its intense for him, 100 might be intense for you, different levels and expectations.
Also what helps is cold-to-warm exposure, your body contracts muscle tissue when its cold and when you get warm again it expands providing better blood flow.
The difference is very noticeable you just have body dysmorphia.
