Nothing too special, but it gave me an extra 10 on PFT's.
Agreed. My buddy recommended I get use a couple of my textbooks for elevation, and no two textbooks are of the same size, nor is any combination of all my books. Plus, the muscle confusion is awesome; going back to a standard pushup afterwards feels quite a bit easier. I hit a plateau around 65 pushups, with only 6 more for a 100 on the pushup part. With these, I maxed out at 40, but after I used them consistently, it helped me break the plane and added a few more reps. Last week, I tested myself, I was at 70 pushups.
