There is much debate about the legality of this hold and it is most often used to set up the straight arm lock.
i would use the armlock attempt as a setup for the bicep slicer. no need to armlock em if you can destroy their limb from right there as he is defending. the guy from my academy that had his arm broken wasnt a small guy either, he is well over 6 feet tall and he still went into shock from the injury. no need to even go for the armbar in real life, only for training.
