[split] Phalanx warfare: use of the spear

[JaM]

not shoulders but arms.. If you keep arm up long enough, you will lose blood from it.. and then you wont be able to keep it in that position at all. Besides, that book has like 500 pages, and there is a lot more what was not so far mentioned... like for example, orders to "lower weapons" to ready position... which kinda suggests underarm, not overarm grip, otherwise order would be to "rise the weapons".... etc etc... people on internet follow own agenda, its not that uncommon to see somebody thrashing some work, by nitpicking parts that suits them, ignoring others.. but Chris Matthew's work should be assessed as a whole, and not by some youtubers who are making their living on a number of views made...
