Thanks all. Hey Shortz, you're over here too huh.
I find if my shoulders are sore after rolling it is because I am using to much strength, like once i took a couple months off for an injury and coming back my shoulders hurt. I wasn't relying on technique. I never roll 100% its easy and technical. if i find i need to push something hard I just bail on it and go to something else.
I already know I am big and strong. (6'4" 250, lean) I am on the mats to improve technique. Ideally a move should require almost no strength at all and when it feel so easy I didn't have to try I must have it right.
..That and I tap early if caught. I try to leave the ego at the door and reward the guy for a good move.
I'm down to roll with anyone. As long as I say "not gay" it's okay right?
