Getting into Navy SEAL shape

First off, I do not plan on actually trying to become a SEAL. However for the next 6 months I've decided I want to dedicate my training to getting as close as I possibly can to meeting their fitness standards:
>100 pushups in 2 minutes (currently at 35)
>100 situps in 2 minutes (currently at 65)
>20 pullups (currently at 1)

I was a cross country runner so I can already pass most if not all of their running requirements but as you can see, I'm weak af and really need to improve my strength (I have an 85% bw bench).

My plan so far:
>Every night before bed do 3×15 pushups. Add 3 pushups every week.
>3x a week do "PT Pyramids," where you start at 2 pushups and 5 situps at level one and go up by 2 and 5 every level until failure, at which point you go back down.
>Grease the groove for pullups
>Rest on the weekends
Any advice or changes you guys would make? Should I add lifting? What did you military guys who could hit those numbers above do?

Don't bump so much. If you have access to a gym you should definitely add lifting. To improve both strenght and endurance the ideal would be to have 2 days/week for strength and 1/2 for endurance (since you are more lacking in strength). Do ABxabxx or ABxcxx (A: 3x5 bench press + triceps and shoulders; B: 3x5 pullups (lat pulldowns if you can't do 3x5 pullups) + biceps and accessories; a, b, c are endurance days, a is push ups, b is pulldowns or pullups, c is both, sets of 15 reps until failure) if you don't have access to a gym you can use dips for strength instead of bench and reverse bodyweight rows for endurance training instead of pullups

I'm in a similar boat, I'm wanting to join the Royal Marines, naval infantry in the U.K. I've seen a term used that I don't remember the name of, but essentially it promoted training the movements you need to do in order to pass. So if you need to reach a certain amount of press ups, train press ups. Don't train bench as the movement isn't 100% extrapolated into a press-up.

I've actually been referencing a SEAL training guide, think it's official that promoted a six set in each movement you needed to train. For example, 6 sets of press ups, pull ups and sit ups.

The beginner level is:

6 sets of 10-15 pressups
6 sets of 1-6 pull ups
6 sets of 10-15 sit ups

Book was called naval special warfare physical training guide. My press-up count has doubled since I started, pull ups similarly and sit ups I struggle with but this has roughly doubled

I think I've heard of that. You've really gotten good results? What were your beginning numbers?

I've extremely close personal ties to a navy SEAL, and I can tell you for fact that he almost exclusively does cardio, pushups, situps, and pullups/chinups. I don't know what his schedule looks like, but you're hitting the same exercises with your set, so as long as you're seeing progress I think you're well on your way.

Gotta add swimming and treading water too.

And mental immunity to hypothermia-inducing conditions.

Mental fitness more than physical desu.

I've been training six days a week and using cardarine. I run 3 days on 1 day off doing couch to 5k. The cardarine kind of enables me to turn a 9 week program into a 4.5 week program.

i could only do about 20 press-ups in the beginning, one neutral grip pull up, about 40 poor form sit ups.

Now I can do just under 40 press ups, about 6 overhand pull ups, 40 good form press ups. Been training for roughly 3 weeks. Need to cut my 5k time by about 7 minutes and I should be good for basic
