The POWERSTANCE is an exclusive product of Themendo Products, LLC which is designed to improve a wrestler's stance and position while drilling technical skills.  All wrestling coaches have experienced the frustration of observing his team warm up and drill from a poor stance despite constant instruction to the contrary.  And wrestlers at all levels have experienced the disappointment of not being able to finish a takedown because their head was down near the mat instead of up in a strong position.  As the late, great Howard Ferguson liked to say, “practice makes permanent, perfect practice makes perfect”. Therefore, a wrestler must maintain a proper stance/position at all times while drilling and practicing in order for that stance/position to be applied to competition.

The POWERSTANCE is a dynamic wrestling harness with a patent pending design consisting of neoprene arm and ankle straps as well as an elastic strap secured to the headgear which are all attached to a nylon belt by means of elastic tubing. The POWERSTANCE allows for full freedom of motion while providing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to encourage a position of head up, elbows in and butt down. This wrestling posture is properly applied to the up and down referee’s position as well as the “neutral” position and especially upon performing any leg attack. It can be utilized independent of a partner (shadow wrestling) as well as drilling technique with a partner. It is not restrictive and does not inhibit one’s partner from drilling.

It is only by drilling properly that one can perform proper technique in competition. It is our sincere belief that the POWERSTANCE is the best means available to prompt wrestlers to maintain a proper stance and good position while drilling. Training with the POWERSTANCE is the only way to truly “Harness your potential!”

"Successful wrestling is all about maintaining proper position at all times and good position translates into power. The POWERSTANCE is the first and only training device of which I am aware that is able to teach proper position in nearly all situations. It is almost impossible to be out of position while wearing this device. Muscle adaptation and muscle memory are certain to be achieved by consistently training with the POWERSTANCE."
-Russ Hellickson (former Head Coach, The Ohio State University, Olympic silver medalist, Olympic team captain)

"Proper stance while in motion is essential to success at every level of wrestling.  Every wrestler must assume a posture of knees bent, butt down, elbows in and head up to maintain proper position and the POWERSTANCE  requires this to happen.  I encourage all coaches, parents and wrestlers to take advantage of this extraordinary training tool."
