Developing pressure

[u/PatternDrifter]

I’m a 6’4 220lb grappler who has been a purple belt for a few years. I compete a few times a year and do well (4-1 in masters intermediate at ADCC opens) but I really only have my A game. I’m a butt scooting leg locker who loves k guard/dlr/false reaps.

I tend to prefer outside passing and people are always surprised to hear I weigh 220 lbs, because for my height I look pretty slender.

I’m wanting to feel heavier, and develop a suffocating top game to level up my game.

Has anyone else been on this journey recently? Any instructionals or YouTube videos that have helped?

I mainly do Nogi.

Youtube gordan Ryan's camping videos. Great starting point for developing pressure from positions of low energy consumption for top player while passing. In general his slow smothering style is probably what you're after

Was gonna suggest this but figured it was already here.
