01
The bicep is a muscle, not a joint—damage occurs through compression rather than leverage.
02
Tap at first sharp pain in the bicep; muscle injuries heal slowly.
03
Attacker: Hold pressure steady; avoid squeezing harder once submission initiated.
04
Never attempt to bench-press escape; this accelerates muscle damage.
