I'm gettin ready for my second tourney at the Reno Reunion VIII. I noticed that he has a wrist of steel, no matter what I did I couldnt get him to budge, so I was just wondering what to do if I encounter an opponent with the same advantage. What technique would be best?    Report

Yet I am a hooker trying to transition to a toproller, it's definitely a move that is easier on the arm, but on the same token its hard to execute if you dont have everything down. I talked to Bob Brown at the tourney and he said the same thing, find a way to get as much leverage as possible. But if I try doin all that and still cant do it, then I need to get stronger. And if that is the case then I have a little project in the making that might help. We shall see, I'll keep expiramenting and see what I can do.    Report
