Key steps

  1. With the triangle locked, take two-handed control of the arm stuck inside your legs.
  2. Pull the wrist across your chest with their thumb pointing up.
  3. Lift your hips into their elbow while you squeeze your knees.
  4. Draw their hand in to your chest to finish.

Key details

  • Keep the triangle locked; it holds their posture while you work the arm.
  • Look for it when they sit tall to save their neck and the trapped arm straightens out.
