You can cheat curl your way out by swinging your back.

TS sucks dick mildly... oh wait this ain't the OT

Seriously though, you're not gonna curl your way out of an arm bar, no matter how much you curl.

You want grip? Train like a strongman.

Enjoy your curls. The men I let in squat and pull heavy.

I now release you to the rest of the S&P members. Enjoy.

There is one type of curl I do enjoy myself! Plate Curls! They really strengthen them wrists up! But yeah, your better off just learning to defend an arm bar, you will never be able to cul out of one!

If you can curl your way out of an armbar, it's time to leave the childrens Bjj class.

Someone add the Kramer childrens Karate gif!

I've done it before.... to guys that I outweighed by 100 lbs and I'm damn sure they have never even thought about lifting weights.

Rows and deadlifts are far better for armbar defence. Rows to keep the elbow in so they cannot lever it, and deadlifts for better grip to stall them.

Its always funny when I get framed up with my arms and I have some middleweight trying to legpress against my grip. If they've never rolled with me before I'll let them go until they give up.
