The fact remains that you called 20 pull-ups "acceptable". This demonstrates a totally delusional definition of what is needed to be combat effective. I applaud you for trying to encourage people to get physically fit... It will be important. But you are over indexing on PE. 20 pull-ups is not "acceptable" ... it is commendable, exceptional even... and every military force on the planet agrees with me. If I were forming a militia I would gladly take recruits that could do a third that number of Pull-Ups... but that is not the only qualification by far.
This is the classic mistake I see lots of people make when they first get serious about prepping and survival. There is a high focus on getting buff and buying guns. Typical machismo. While equally important subjects of food, water, shelter, communication, organization, tactics, planning, etc. are largely ignored.
Physical fitness is important and in general most people are fat fucks that are totally unprepared for any form of conflict and again I commend you for attempting to motivate people to get fit... but right now I would argue that Communication, Organization and Op-Sec are far more important. Build your network NOW. You can be a Rambo-Superman but alone you are NOTHING. If you cannot see this as self evident then you are all sound and fury with no real experience in any of this.
