I have been in the arts for several years and all arts have locks either it be standing or on the ground. After several years and a short time of being in bjj and now looking at catch, shooto and other forms of grappling i am now in the process of understanding principles in making locks, holds, etc. Such things as how to make a lever, how to isolate joints, produce maximum force. Being from a medical family I am relooking at charts of the skeleton and joints and how things move.
What have you found fooling around with locks and joints that you use in your arsenal??

First, there are only three locks. A straight lock, Upward lock, and a downward lock. Everything else is just a variation on those three. As long as you know pressure needs to be applied at the wrist or close by and just above the elbow for all three, it becomes easy to improvise. You can use your whole body to apply pressure at those locations. In fact using those principles you can figure out any type of arm lock without ever being shown the arm lock.

So lets take the armbar
Standing: grip at the hand/wrist and use the top blade portion of your forearm under the arm above the elbow for a brake.
Ground: Put you shin bone across tricep while holding hand/wrist. Lever up on hand while sinking your weight with your shin bone.
"As long as you know pressure needs to be applied at the wrist or close by and just above the elbow for all three, it becomes easy to improvise."
I think i have seen similar things you can do with the top wrist lock if i am not mistaken. Yet, i would like to hear more what others have found with all types of locks!!
