Do you struggle to finish the straight footlock on taller people? If so, this variation is for you!!
Share with your short friends :D
 
I like it. Have you experimented with tucking the toes completely into the armpit? I've had good success with it as it primarily attacks the anterior foot ligaments. Thoughts?

not really something i've played with myself yet
 
Got any links?
Sounds like he’s talking about the way Reilly Bodycomb and Roli Delgado both teach how to do the ankle lock, which really emphasizes a deep fold of the foot by catching just the toes in the armpit. Any of their YouTube videos on the ankle lock should show it.
 
OP does the fold to at least some degree in his videos, but doesn't seem to be explicitly cueing it. If he was bridging as hard as he does when demonstrating with the toes caught like that, his training partner would probably see God instantly. It's just an insanely urgent tap.
