   One such move is the “snap” suplex (also called the vertical suplex)., Once they are on the ground, reposition yourself so you are standing at their feet.
   
   Face them as you start the leg lock., Grab it by the sides, heel, or ankle.
   
   Lift it into the air until their leg is roughly at a 45 degree angle., Use your right hand to continue holding their left foot up in the air.
   
   Place your right foot between their legs.
