Or Fat Bast*rd.

I know lots of you bow down to the GD stance, but putting weight on your hands loads your forearms. And that's a recipe for a busted arm.

It's easier, and lot more comfortable I grant you. But if you just take your hands and rotate them in back of your thighs during delivery, you'll protect your hands, and have only "meat" on the forearm esposed, instead of bone. Plus they're not loaded, and flap back if struck.

Or you could do like Cowboy Joe, and squat like a fire hydrant.

Kylejt:

I have used the GD for 5 years and have never got hit in the hands. The forearm, yes, but never the hand.
