                                                                           Spinning

Spinning is a drill that emphasizes an uncommon, akward movement.  You must remain on your toes, chest on the apparatus and spin one way or the other.  Numerous wrestling moves involve spinning behind your opponent because the objective is to get behind them to score 2 points.

During the follow through phase of the drag out you must spin with your chest and weight on your opponents back, and recover on top.  Therefore the spinning drill enhances your ability to perform the drag out.

Other ways to drill the drag out:

To drill the drag out continuously practice repetition of grabbing the opposite elbow and prying the inside of the knee with the opposite arm.  You can practice this infront of a mirror to get a visual memory of performing the move since its a move that you must be able to do without thinking or hesitating.
