I still think a 110kg gym head who regularly lifts twice his body weight will overcome a 60kg geek with technique. Gets a bit different after 8 years of training etc but I hate these people who’ve done it for 9months/a year who come out with stuff like “bigger guys are easier, use strength against them” or “big or small, if your thumb’s being broken you’re going to crumble” – a pair of hands that lift 280kg deadlifts, a pair of legs that push 300kg from floor to shoulder, your not going to be able to A: get past a grip B: bend an arm away from the pecs C: prevent your legs being disabled by being pulled toward them.

Not a snipe at those above, you have conceeded that you need to weigh the situation up more than anything, but I do hear off some geeky types who do judo/ninjitsu etc all this shit – I’d have to see it to believe it.
