Try the Americana. It's easy and there is little risk of losing the position. Or cross choke if you train with gi.

Armbar is probably the most popular sub from mount, but if you don't hit it you will lose position a lot.

Americana seems to be the big guy go to move. Do you get to roll with decent guys that cant actually give you trouble as well?

Thanks man, I'll check out some you tube instructional vids on those and rinse the technique solo x100 ready for next session. We do gi and no gi, I need to buy a gi to be honest. Going to just get a cheap top gi to start with...

Well gassing is a problem at the mo, typically we spar for anywhere between 15-30mins... 5min sparring and swap partners but I gas like a bitch after the first bout at the moment whilst im trying to get my fitness/weight to a decent level.

But yeah I'm getting owned by some guys and then finding that i am able to dominant some others quite easily when jockeying for position but then struggling due to lack of options/knowledge what the next step should be. Still waitin on my first submission as well!! hopefully it'll be one of the few that you guys have mentioned. If you know of any great instructional vids on above then pls post links - Cheers for the help

I'm a little guy that rolls a lot with bigger opponents and the moves they most often get me with is Americanas and Arm Triangles from top position. These work well for the big guy I think because you can force the position using your strength. Just be careful to not get too used to strong-arming your way into submissions though because when you start to roll with guys that are your size, that suddenly won't work any more.

I haven't grappled in a few months and wanted to try an arm triangle on a girl friend who trains. I was pretty drunk. We were on carpet.

The scabbing was so much worse. This happened a full month ago. It's finally looking normal again.

Girl via staph!

So the crazy good judo girl I always talk about at my club, her family is friends with a woman who was on the Australian Olympic wrestling team, and her husband, who is from the Ukraine I believe was the coach for their Olympic team. They have been meaning to come and check out the club, and now are going to try and throw some pure wrestling classes, first class this Saturday right after BJJ. Super hyped on this.

Got x-ray of neck/spine and a nerve velocity conduction test, both not showing any problem. Doc said i can keep training normal. Reading up on similar cases on the net is freaking me out though, seems there is some chance that the strength loss is permanent :/

Having a pretty hard time adjusting to it, just noticing now how much i rely on that strength to apply shoulder pressure in half guard/side control.

Been having a lot of good seshions lately, really starting to feel things click.

I got nothing else to add, so here is a video of me lifting something up and then putting it down.

Phresh · 01-25-2012, 04:17 AM

I'd probably lift barefoot and not bend your back as much. 355 is sick though. GO TRT!!

Me lifting **** a long time ago.

caught_clean · 01-25-2012, 02:24 PM

Yea I was lifting for awhile in running shoes not knowing the difference, wore those shoes because they are pretty flat. My DL has gotten a lot better, but my posture is just terrible and I round a lot regardless. Nice power cleans btw.

Phresh · 01-26-2012, 08:16 AM

Thanks. My form got a little sloppy near the end with the heavier weights. My shoulders were too far ahead of the bar, causing me to swing back on my pull, rather than lift straight up and explode out of it. I also rounded my back a little. :-/

What's the deal with the last 20 seconds of that video.

Phresh · 01-26-2012, 11:22 AM

What's wrong with the last 20 seconds of that video?

pageh656 · 01-26-2012, 02:42 PM

lol i didnt watch the end before but thats pretty funny

bought a cup and mouthpiece gonna try a class and see how it goes, only thing im worried about is my shoulders holding up esp in bjj

theres two places im considering since they r closest to me, i assume i should take a sample class at each. what should i look for? one uses gi for BJJ and eduardo de lima is the head BJJ instructor but he works at like 4 diff mma gyms around here so im skeptical of how much time hes there. other gym is no gi and has an octagon, shane dunn is the coach. not as many classes on the schedule but that may not be updated. both mainly focus on bjj and some muay thai w some mma classes. ive been puttin off goin to a class for years excited to finally do it
