Take spear. Hold at 45 degrees in overhand grip. Rest part of shaft forward of the hand on shield rim when not actively stabbing someone in the face. Arm doesn't get tired, it doesn't go to sleep, holding the arm in that manner (like a bodybuilder's bicep pose) is not an unnatural position, biomechnics says so.
"NO. WE know for certain, that fighting with spear like this just for 2 minutes causes muscle spasms, and overall fatigue.... no matter how trained men is, human physiology is same for everybody... stronger men would hold a bit longer, but not much... and in war, you dont want to use technique, that will leave you completely fatigued in 2 minutes..."
From another forum where you are repeating the same info. So now its 2 minutes? Malarkey. The first video alone has the narrator and the group with him holding their spears in the overhand for over two minutes and none seem the least bit fatigued. I grabbed a broom handle and tried it myself just before posting this, and two minutes is easy.
Part in bold, did you test this or are you still only using Matthew's one book as a source?
