I'm having a hard time preventing my partner from posting when I execute a sweep, despite grabbing the sleeve and pinning it to my chest before executing. A lot of the time the instinct and strength put into posting just rips his arm out.

Yeah it's a great triangle setup but I'm focusing on just completing the sweep now.

Just wanted some advice one securing the arm and trapping it, if anyone can share tips. Thanks!
 
If he post up then do not waste energy trying to break his posture:
hip bump
flower sweep
pendulum sweep
 
I think you have to mix up trapping it and sucking it in.

If they know you're going to pull with all your might to isolate the arm, they will always be able to prevent it. But you can go either way. Basically, if I pull the arm and they resist, I just go with it and push their wrist to their hip and hit the same sweep. If I try to push the wrist into their body and they resist, I'll pull it and suck it into my chest and pull the sweep that way.
