And no the back press is not a cheap move. In fact, if u wanna use this move u HAVE TO have superior chest, shoulder, and back muscles to ur opponent, or this move will not work. Having a bulky and heavy upper body will help a lot. To use this move, begin by forcing your opponent's hand upwards using your wrist. You must have a strong wrist to do this. And then, rotate your body so that your shoulder is in line with the direction you want your arm to go. Then, start to apply as much back pressure and shoulder pressure as you can, and start pressing down. The power should be generated from your shoulder. Right now, you are using your shoulder and your back against your opponent's forearm and biceps. As long as you have a upper body, you should win. Key: The key to this move is that your arm MUST be close to your body in order to use this move. hope it helps.
