I've been trying to figure out how to add those in as well, and I'm not exactly sure how to do so. The sit-ups at least... I will probably leave out unless I add weight. I don't really want to try and break it down that far. As for push-ups though.... it's hard to compute that as well. It's different for everyone. A push-up is basically a second-class lever. However, the distribution of weight on everyone is different. If you are tall like me with very long skinny legs, most of your weight is in your upper body and your resistance arm is very long in comparison to your effort arm and so the force required to lift someone like me is much greater than someone with short legs and more weight in their thighs and waist area (generally women).
So, again... I'm probably going to leave out sit-ups and push-ups, unless I specifically add weight to them. For instance, when my sons sit on my back and I do push-ups, the extra 70 pounds is definitely felt and so I'd proabably add that in.
Pull-ups however, I'm just using my body weight as the number times however many reps I do.
