Martin Heidegger argued that humans are thrown or geworfenheit into an existence we didn't choose a specific time, place, and historical destiny and we are constantly hurtling toward death. Most people live in inauthentic anxiety, hiding from this reality in comfortable distractions.

The authentic human accepts their thrownness, looks death directly in the eye, and consciously chooses to author their own fate.

This is an almost exact philosophical parallel to the Norse concept of Wyrd. The Norseman does not cry about being thrown into a harsh, freezing world doomed to Ragnarok.

He accepts his geworfenheit, steps into the shield-wall, and claims his authentic destiny through action. A martial civilization is a collective of authentic individuals who refuse the sedative of safetyism and choose instead to write a heroic destiny in the face of inevitable mortality.

One of the hardest quotes off all time:

“We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that cannot be taken from a man.”

Elbow position changes which part of the back does more work.

Elbows close to the torso usually target the lats more.

Flared elbows usually target more upper back and rear delts.

"A civilization is not an economy. Wealth is not money. The real wealth of a people is their civilization. Their civilization is this complex tapestry of a long process of social contract negotiations that goes over centuries or even a millennia or more. That is the real wealth of a people."
