Hey, so Denny has been teaching us to overhook the leg when a guy stands up in our triangle. The reason being that you can prevent the slam more easily with an overhook than an underhook (presumably because he can't stand straight up when his leg is overhooked). Can the same concept be applied to the air pump, or does underhooking the leg make the arm bar more effective?

Once you overlook the leg, the opponent is probably going to come back down on top of you. Thus the pressure comes back down, making it hard to push the elbow over into the center of the stomach. At that point you'd just be dealing with a regular pump, or a mission pump. You may have a split second to go from the overlook to the air pump, but if has to be before the opponent comes back down.
