Some wrestlers of today and many Europeans of the past were very good once they were extended. This is because they know how move their hips out and lift their head and back, and most importantly the lock they use acts as a fulcrum on their opponent's leg from which they are able to pivot and gain good position. Wrestlers like Nasir Gadjikhanov, Valentin Jordanov, and B. Saitiev were masters at finishing once they were extended with their faces on the mat. John Smith was also able to finish in this position.

Commenting on Coach Hump's limp arm (which I think is excellent technique): Just know that you are vulnerable for a sec when you turn out for the limp arm and your opponent can attack your leg. Once you know this, and your opponent does try a re-shot, you will (should) be ready to bring your leg back and now your opponent will be in bad position.

This is how Russian Alan Dudaev sets up his famous chest lock: he takes a shot and if uncomfortable quickly limp arms out and if the opponent takes his leg, he already has it back and now his opponent is on his face extended. As Dudaev attempts to go behind his opponent will usually try to improve and pop his head to the outside and as he does ::boom:: chest lock. It's truly a thing of beauty.

Very important to realize you're just stuck when you're locked underneath. Fr too often too, does one see kids/wrestlers pop their head outside and try to force this double that will just spin you in circles. This is a sold reminder, you've got an out maneuver. Plus, one you pop out, you can get heavy on the head, snap down and spin and pick up your two and you've wasted nearly no energy. Good stuff Coach. Or just be slick and go Gerry Abas low-single. Just had clinic #2 with Abas. Guy without question should be heading a NCAA program. Fresno State needs to suck it up and get a program going again.

If you take a bad shot you can limp arm out, Coach Hump does not want wrestlers to "chase a bad position".
