Power Balance wrist bands or equivalent

[HassanZ]

Hi all,

 

There's been so much debate and discussion on these products, all with mixed opinions. There's many people I see wearing these ranging from people in the street to members at my local gym.

 

If you don't know what these are, the following should give you an insight:

What are your opinions on these things? Are there any members on here who wear them? Do you think they actually work or are they just placebo? Some people I know swear by these and some are disinterested.

 

I've always been curious if these actually work!

 

It's quite weird the difference it makes in those tests!

 

All input is welcome!

 

(I wonder if this turns into a debate )

Shouldn't be any debate, they're a load of old turd.

 

Whoever thought that up is laughing at every single person that buys one

I reckon they only work in by boosting you mentally. Making oneself think they actually have a new found strength, wore them once during football training when my team mate had it . The result...... still a lazy bass

I picked on up in Egypt last year whilst on a windaurfing holiday for a fiver. Knew it was a con but i like telling people it gives me super powers. Plus i've only fallen over twice this year so maybe it does help

Just like those pieces of red string you tie round your wrist while saying a prayer help you massively...
