If you want to find a way get more benefit from doing push ups or to make push ups more difficult, adding medicine balls to the equation will do the trick!

Push ups on 2 Medicine Balls
The idea behind this exercise is that you are making the surface that you are pushing against unstable, forcing your body to recruit more resources in order to do the exercise. Not only will you increase the recruitment of the stabilizing tendons and ligaments that are used during the push up exercise, but you will also increase your level of neuromuscular communication at the same time. Be sure to balance the weight distribution when doing this exercise by placing the medicine balls directly across from each other, and by placing your hands in the same location on each medicine ball.
