You will get no effect holding the lead whilst the handle is being pulled. The operating voltage is very low, probably less than 10 volts. The spark plug voltage of a petrol engine is typically 35,000 volts, hence the shock! A detectable low voltage can be assessed by either a digital volt meter or ...

By the way, my e-mail address should be andrew.church@tiscali.co.uk, a space slipped in without my noticing.

Thank you NHRower. There is nothing paltry in ANY exercise. It is a state of mind that sees benefit in increased fitness.

Have put in 2 days of 50+k (Yesterday in 4hrs) felt really strong, but taking it easier today in order to recover. My aim is to row a week of consecutive 50k's, but guess I shall have to pace ...
