After attempting the first grip break, sometimes your partner's palm-to-palm grip is just too strong to be broken with the stomp option. In this case, try threading your right foot through your partner's arms, under their gripping hands, and across to the other side of their head. Now just sit back, and see if your partner's head comes up off the ground. If so, grab the triangle right away by using your left knee to drive their head forward, and then close the figure four to get the submission.

If your partner doesn't take the bait right away, don't fret; you're all set to move on to our third grip break option, the X-break. Keep your right foot where it already is, in front of your partner's left biceps and with your instep facing their arms. Cross your left foot over the top and across their head, and mirror what your other foot is doing, flaring your feet out. Now extend your legs forward, mimicking the stomp option (but amplifying the effect considerably). The nice thing about this set up is that if you screw it up (or if you can't get your partner's superhuman hands apart), you can also switch to the triangle, option 4 from this position.
