Arm Drag - How to Secure a Wedge Against Your Defendant

If i just arm drag and i don't set up se precautions, then i have the dominant angle, but only for a second. I need to start applying wedges on the far side - or else that dominant angle is going to be taken away very quickly. So how exactly do you think about this? You know, when i train stand up, it just seems like there's so much stuff you have to worry about. It sounds like you think of this more halistically and in terms of alignment. Do you have any best practices or tips, jest, ideas for how to more quickly understand how to get that dominant angle when you're standing up with someone? Yet?
