I was on my right side and as I tried to whip up my opponent would base out and I couldn't whip up, and eventually I got my left arm under his body and gable gripped my hands and tried to pull his leg with a whip yet again the way he based made it impossible to move him. Anything would help and the guy had at least 40 pounds on me, but that has never stopped me before. Thanks for any advice.
I feel you, I've been experiencing this as well. One thing that's helped is going for the old-school sweep in conjunction with going for the electric chair. By going for that sweep first, if they defend it correctly by basing their leg out, it makes the electric chair that much easier. A detail that's helped me tremendously is to drive INTO the guy by driving your chest in once you have the electric clinch. I really like to cinch in that electric clinch and secure solid-ass underhooks and a tight-ass clinch. By driving my chest in from that point, it'll hopefully cause a reaction to have him drive into you, allowing you to roll over your shoulder and whip your lockdown to the opposite side, disrupting his base. You need to get his leg up on your shoulder by your neck. If it's on your bicep, it'll be weak. Sometimes it might take repeating this sequence two, three, four times or more until you get the space to push his armpit away and complete the sweep. But it sounds like you're believing in it more and more and it's the details and timing sequence. The more you believe in the steps and feel the right way vs. the wrong way, the more higher percentage it'll be. Hope this helps a little..
