Anybody else doing anything like this?

I and most of the guys on my team (inadvertantly at first) are using the exercises in Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning daily.
I origionally started the program while deployed and in school with limited gym facilities to use. When I took over an A-team it just seemed natural to use several of these exercises and routines to supplement the PT program, and add variety to the standard Army calasthenic exercises.
For those of you who havent used them, these exercises, when performed correctly, will CRUSH you! I've liftd weights my whole life, and maintain above average strength in the big 3 lifts compared to most guys I've worked with, but this type of PT changed the way I train. When I started I could Bench close to 400# but couldnt complete 25 of Matts "hindu pushups".
I've got one of my guys reviewing Pavels new book to see how we can use that as well.
