What does an armbar do, and what can it do if you apply a ton of pressure? My friends say it feels like I'm going to break their arm, but to me it doesn't seem like thats what its gonna do. It seems like it would like hyperextend your elbow, pull/rip your bicep, or dislocate your elbow. Anyone know what you're doing, anatomically, that causes pain, and what you'd do, anatomically, if you pulled SUPER hard.
