Does anybody do bottom armtrianles with lockdown on the opposite leg ? I think same leg lockdown and arm triangles work better but it seems easier to get the opposite arm/ leg setup.

Yes. With opposite leg you can stomp and sweep and finish from top.
Eddie does that shit a lot.
But what about finishing the armtriangle from bottom with opposite leg?
MTS 20, 41:30, is this what you're talking about?
Yup its called the apollo ;)
Opposite leg? Same side leg yeah. Not opposite leg. I don't think I'd get leverage with the opposite leg.
That was it,thanx.
All the time, I have a few of these in competitions.
A few guys at our school have good variations of this.. I usually picture trying to pop the persons head of as I squeeze, extending the lockdown and pulling up,away and away with the arm triangle.
Master Louis "Street" Ho has a super effective version that he does but he crunches in when he does it. Neither are very pleasant to be stuck in.
I love a good apollo!
All the time! Eddie showed it in his last Indy seminar, including a sweep to finish on top.
