Any advice on rolling against people pushing 100lbs & over a foot on ya?

arm drag to the back makes my life SOOOO much easier against the heftys. get really good at the arm drag.

butterfly guard! deep half maybe if you got the move down. if your underneath u want to be as underneath as possible. under his center of mass, it will make him feel a lot lighter.

Butterfly guard..prison guard works well too

I always choose bicep slicers over arm bars every time there's an opening.

Man I have the same problem. A couple guys at my gym are 260 plus with good BJJ and a little bit of height on me (I'm 6ft 145). My best solutions I have come up with so far is to play a little more open and wild then I like to. Personally I have a hard top getting top position on them in a scramble so more often than not I pull guard and try to throw up pop triangles or quick armbars (the armbars are much lower % for me). Also keep an eye out for inverted triangles especially the one setup from a recent MTS I have been having some success with that on the bigger guys as well. Like someone else said leg locks are always an option, I have been working on adding Einsteins ankle lock to my game but I haven't caught it on any of the big guys yet (havent went for it on them either though.) Other than that the other thing I look for on them is free New Yorks from the cocoon or any position where you see the opportunity, I have trouble getting the normal step by step rubber guard on the really big guys but if I can get free New Yorks I at least have something to work with. Good luck hope this helps....try to stay away from
half guard with way heavier guys too, I get smashed a lot if I try to play half with them. Like others have mentioned arm drag to the back and prison guard are great options too...in fact i think im going to make prison guard my new project.

Story of my life in JJ! I'm always the smallest in class. Butterfly, X-guard and prison guard are what work for me alot
