I agree with Denny and Brandon. I cross them when finishing from spider web. I don't think I cross them anywhere else though. You can't stomp the head down as much if your feet are crossed. I say whatever position feels the best clinch wise, that's how I do mine. Most of the time I never cross. I'm too small to risk losing even a little bit of control when going for the finish.
Exactly. Leg curling from bottom stop them from posturing and hulking outQuote:

If they stay strong I transition to standard control and attempt other breaks. Options.
I cross from everywhere, however I have godlike leg curls.

Arm crush arm bar is your feet are still crossed but in a different position.
From the classic closed guard, leg curl his head with one leg, squeeze knees together, leg curl his body with other leg. I would toss or swim if his defending arm is in the mix.
From muddy waters you will do both at the same time. No need to toss or swim because his defending arm in out the mix.
