No secret, Im a skeptic but . . . . I'll try it tonite. Do you have a skinny arm? Rubber elbow?
Some of the people I crush feel it as a bicep slicer and tap before its leveraging the elbow joint. I like to rub my forearm bone a bit into the spot where the biceps turns into connective tissue (head of biceps?)
little black kid scrutiny, lol, yeah it relives pressure. it still hurts a bit but its like comparing someone sitting on you compared to someone choking you. the thing about it is it doesnt matter too much about how snug the hook is because its once the defending hand passes the leg. the guy in spiderweb still has the arm but has lost the leg on top of the arm to apply pressure. i do have good flexibility but ive worked it with other guys aswell and they all had it work too.
not that ive tested it out but i assume bigger guys would have more trouble with it and if someone gets the arm crsh on right away then it might not help. still it gives those few seconds to help and sometimes i get out.
i hope that helps explain things, im not saying this is the bees all and end all but its gotten me out of lots of problems.
