Arm slicer

Arm slicer is an informal colloquial name for the bicep slicer — a compression submission that loads a fulcrum into the elbow crook against the bicep and forearm tissue.

Etymology. “Arm slicer” is the broader and more casual form of “bicep slicer,” dropping the anatomical specificity in favour of the generic body-part name. The term appears in gym vocabulary and coaching contexts where the speaker doesn’t want to specify which compression variant — bicep slicer, calf slicer, leg slicer — is being referenced. In published vocabulary, “bicep slicer” is the more common written form because it disambiguates from the calf and ankle slicer family.

Mechanics. The configuration drives a fulcrum (typically the attacker’s shin, wrist, or forearm) into the soft tissue of the elbow crook while bending the joint, compressing the bicep and forearm against the joint structure past its safe range.

Cross-reference. “Bicep slicer,” “bicep crush,” and “arm crush” are functionally equivalent labels. Full mechanical coverage on Bicep Slicer.
