    Yeah there very well may be a frequency but a rubber band with a hologram sticker on it has nothing to do with it, there is no science behind it. Also time travel is theoretically possible, physics allow it but it is very unlikely. Just thought you should know

    The reason why the "push test" seems to work is a very quick example of neuro conditioning. Drop and do ten pushups now and then again in 5 minutes. The second set will seem easier because your body has prepared itself. The same priniciple lies behind the 'increased' resistance to the push. Other effects are most likely placebo. I'm actually very open to new agey ideas but I think the mind is inherently more powerful than a rubber band with a hologram

    What's the relevance of this? The makers of these power bands claim they use Mylar technology. So what? There is no link, no science and no tests that suggest the things they claim. I've made a special piece of bread, it gives you special powers. I don't know how but it does. And btw it costs 100 dollars for a piece. It's not illegal so all athletes should eat it just incase it gives them an edge.

    People are just looking for easier ways to get strong.People have just become lazy in training. Surely if you know you've put in a **** load of work in the gym it will make your mind more secure than wearing some band.

    Exactly, people want results without actually working. So they look for latest hyped up product that will do the work for them.

    I only skimmed over the post but if I'm reading this right and they can supposedly stop people smoking and prevent drug and alcohol abuse, these bands would be a LOT more well known than they are. It'd probably be the top invention of the past 50 years and someone would be very, very rich. I'd never heard of the load of bull**** things until this was posted.

    Does anyone believe crystal healing works? It's the same kind of concept, different crystals at different frequencies affect the body's natural electromagnetic field when placed by the body.

    This too is unsupported and complete bull****.

    There's no science to back up what they claim, just some nice stories and theories. If you don't need proof of something working why aren't you wearing my magic hand wraps that make your hands up to 50% faster? They work by making your hand more aerodynamic. Only £100 a pair. First to purchase gets a 15% discount...

    They measure the frequency of the body how? Frequency is not a real thing its is the rate at which something is oscillating what is oscillating? Is it supposed to be the body’s’ electric current? I didn't know the human body was AC. There are numberous "frequencies" within the human body like the frequency of the heart beat at around 1Hz but what is this frequency of the body bull****.

    That is absolutely not what I am talking about. Do some research. There are a number of theoretical possibilities for time travel according to the known laws of physics. To say that it is impossible is foolish and you're saying that the likes of Stephen Hawking are wrong.
    I don't understand why you'd dismiss something like that yet you'd believe that a rubber band can tap into and manipulate the bodies frequencies. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that these power bands can do anything they claim. Who made these bands? What are the inventors motivations? Honestly if you can't see through a scam like this then I have nothing left to say to you. Good luck with life, you'll need it.
