Victor Webster showed me something cool last week. He said he learned the grip from Gene Lebell. It's like a gable grip, but you put one of your thumbs between your index and middle finger. To make it a bit more complicated, this only braces you one way, so if your opponent is armbarring your right arm, you put your left thumb inbetween your right index/middle finger (and vise versa if your left arm bar was being attacked.
It's a good alternative to the figure four, and allows you to hold on longer and try to drive your elbow to the mat
