    I delete their emails as soon as they come in.

    However, when I need some shorts or something, I will check to see if they have what I want…

    Powerbands, what a load of Hokum.

    A friend who runs a watersports shop was selling them by the truck load last year.

    As soon as someone put one on there balance was immediately improved, it made them stronger and more supple.

    I tried one on and it did F-all apart from keep £20 in my pocket.

    They’ve been selling them for years – even since the whole thing was debunked.

    I cannot believe thy were able to debunk that…are you saying that there is no science behind Syionic90 engineering process

    What sort of person needed that debunking ?
    Seriously who?

    I don’t use them because they use Yodel as their couriers. apparently I was always out even when I was stood at the gate watching them drive right up my road to deliver my parcel to my neighbour!

    Quite a few athletes at the Olympics apparently used this, which also appears to be utter nonsense.

    just done a search for band and balance etc on CRC and cant find them.

    How anyone can sell these things to the public (Stupid or otherwise) and not feel utterly filthy is beyond me.

    Hey, don’t knock them. The power of the mind to decide if you’re stronger/faster/awesome is a strange thing.

    IIRC they did some studies on athletes telling them they’d given them the next ‘thing’ in vitamins (or something like that). Funnily enough they all performed better with just the placebo.

    Utter rubbish in their scientific mumbo as to how they work, but something to concentrate on they might have some substrance. Though it would be cheaper to tie a bit of string around your wrist instead…

    They’d probably work better if they weren’t reduced.

    As breatheasy says, its all in the mind, and can produce measurable results. Nothing to the physical science though.

    In a way similar to team GB’s ‘sum of marginal gains’ in that the athletes believe minor enhancements make a measurable difference and so go on to produce improved results (although there is probably some physical benefits in this strategy too).

    Amazing what the power of the mind can do (and no I don’t buy it either).

    They seem to sell an awful lot of tat

    that and the fact I followed a sneaky link in a PSA thread and let a STWer “refer” me ( 🙄 ) means I’m pretty much out

    Addit:

    They’d probably work better if they weren’t reduced

    Like the “grot” sales in reggie perrin !

    Thanks for the PSA.

    Needed to replace a Livestrong wristband; 40% off Lifestrength is a bargain.

    How anyone can sell these things to the public (Stupid or otherwise) and not feel utterly filthy is beyond me.

    Is it any worse than marketing the latest bars/stem/cranks/tyres/frames/fork/whatever that make use of Strengthomatic Technology or some such nonsense to make them x% lighter/stiffer/stronger/plusher/radder and will therefore transform your riding enjoyment?

    S’marketing, innit.
