i prefer a double reverse leg grapevine, because it automatically adds the scissors. then he's trapped in a triple combination hold with zero chance of escape.
Whenever a bigger dude places a full Nelson on me… he slaps his hands on my neck then lifts me… chest hurts, chin pressed down, neck inflamed and him taunting me through my back on his stomach.. what a fucking hold, men
Love this vid! I’d want to be the big guy giving the full nelson and spinning the small guy around while he helplessly kicks his little feet in the air.
A lifted full nelson is one of the hottest holds ever, especially when the size difference still allows the full pressure to be applied while suspended.
One of those ultimate displays of control, strength, and dominance.
Reminds me of a flailing insect helplessly caught in the vice grips clutches of a praying mantis, and doesn't yet realize his time has already come to an end.
Some moves/hold are just naturally size dependent, and the Full Nelson is chief among them. That's the only time its worth watching, and the only time I give it any credit. The reverse is just too awkward and clumsy to be entertaining as far as I'm concerned.
Agree, tho also love to see it used by 2 equal sized dudes and it cranked on so hard it forces the one dude to his knees and the other dude is still standing behind him with his upper body flexed to the max as he continues to crank on the nelson. Awesome display of power and domination ;)
Everybody likes those victories. But if I could chose I would take the battles that are a lot closer where the two are virtually equal in strength and endurance.
That way the person being nelson is highly resistant and even capable of breaking free of the hold. That's what causes the adrenaline rush that fuels the experience. The victory comes only after a long and hard-fought enduring struggle by a worthy opponent.
Its that sensation of finally overcoming an as strong and resistant opponent that result in the greatest amount of satisfaction. Especially when it takes that maximum flex of power to finally overcome and submit them.
Oh for sure man, totally agree an almost equally matched opponent who can give a nice long strong battle is the best! Guess I just haven't been lucky enough to find someone who can handle my nelson for more than a few minutes and make me go to maximum power ;)
That's exactly what I want: the occasion so that I don't have to hold back. But if you think you've got woes, try being tall.
Finding a rival as tall as me is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
There is a single tall guy at my gym that seemed friendly, so I asked him and he ran away as if I had asked him to take a punch to the face. That's the last time I'll do that.
Anyway, my preferred rival would be height/size equal, but must also love the moves/holds as much as I do. Otherwise, they'll just stop and give up at the first sign of difficulty or pain.
Its the same thing with the bearhug. I end up doing all he work all the time since they can't give it back. Result? I've never been subbed, not even close.
I guess kneeling would make it even. As long as you don't mind losing the "lifted" part.
Well if we ever meet I'll make sure to bring a step stool with me to help with the 6 inch height difference and let u feel a lifted nelson for real lol ;) btw always wished i was tall like u, even tho it would have been harder in my bodybuilding days :)
LOL, now that would be an interesting sight. We'd have to make a video of that one, or at least take photos to prove it happened. Not sure how it would be titled though.
btw always wished i was tall like u, even tho it would have been harder in my bodybuilding days :)
Even 5'10 is tall for a Mr. O. They're typically shorties. I can't think of a single one that's broken 6' mark besides Arnold.
Haha def need a video for sure! "Tall vs short full nelson challenge" ;) Yeah true about the Mr. O's, tho some competitors have been close to 6 feet like Antoine Vaillant and Regan Grimes, I've met them in person and both taller than me. Oh and Cbum too, tho he won in classic physique. And all Canadians too! Hmmm what are they putting in our water?? ;)
Oh, absolutely. But its not a question of strength, rather one of leverage.
A shorter person can get into position, but will just pull you backwards and off balance. But that's awkward and not a true Full Nelson. A nelson cranks the head/neck forward and down.

If u wanna see more, search on Youtube for "Chris Masters" or "master lock challenge". Not all are lifted nelsons, but a lot of great full nelson submissions :)
