I was too wondering if they work and what they do. They cost expensive like $29.99. I bet my boy allstarNZ has a collection of them, you know that ninja be having paper LOL.

It probably does work. It makes you "think" you are stronger, faster and have more balance. The mind is the most powerful thing in the body.

Officially don't work

About 5 studies already and they haven't been able to find any difference.

I heard Shaq is/was also wearing a special mouth piece "designed" (marketing) to make you crush your teeth harder and therefore increasing body strength (through the process of irradiation).

Does power balance bracelet really works? I think it's only mind which balance power. It may just make you think more powerful.

someone at the courts did this balance push to someone else, and then made him put the bracelet on and did the same thing and balance was better.  i'm guessing his 2nd push was much softer and the dude planted his feet sturdier.  and then some people concluded that it has to do with some type of magnetic properties in the magnet or hologram

wrong, it's due to the magnetism of one's chi and quantum physics can explain it, it has to do with nano electrons and electron passing.

Quantum entanglement does the trick, it changes the spin of the particles to match those in your own body... Pure Quantum Physics baby!

Meh! Power Balance is a shit hype. Anyone who wears them wants to get strong and fast without training hard. And they are lazy and rich asses. More and more people want shortcuts to everything. They want to jump high without working hard. They want to get lean within 6 minutes. They want to be successful without bearing all the pain that life hits on you. That's why they are easily scammed.

THEY ARE REAL TO ME DAMMIT!

There's been several products similar to this throughout the years and they're all always bullshit. I especially liked the placebo band test descriptions and the video. I can't understand how some people believe in this stuff so easily though.
