The Willpower USA Website states this:
March 2020, COVID shutdown gyms and sports programs all over the country. Dedicated athletes still wanted to train. But there was a dearth of accessible training systems that you could trust to move the needle.
At the time, the founder of Willpower USA, Andrew Hunter, was coaching at a wrestling club in south Brooklyn run by a 3x Olympian from the former Soviet Union. When gyms shut down, the club had to move practices outside to a local park.
If there was ever a sport that you’d think impossible to practice outside at a social distance, wrestling would be it.
Learning to train better with less
But the head coach was well-studied in the science and training methods developed by the Soviet Olympic machine that were decades ahead of the West. They proved quickly that you did not need a wrestling room or partners to train effectively. You needed a few key pieces of equipment that you could carry in your backpack and proven training methods that once learned you could do on your own.
Before long the club was training up to 50 athletes at a time in the park and not just wrestlers. The training regimens drew athletes from sports as diverse as boxing to track and field. The piece of equipment most effective at helping the athletes make gains was a World War II era resistance band. They were invented in Eastern Europe by athletes who had no gyms or partners to train with. After the war they were adopted and mastered by the Soviet Olympic training machine.
Evolving a World War II Technology
Soviet style resistance band training routines proved effective for a wide range of athletes. It didn’t matter if you were a boxer, wrestler, or a football player, you could strap into a set of bands and create resistance against movements common to your sport. So you’d build strength and conditioning specifically for your sport in a way that you could not with any other piece of equipment.
