Oww.

Last night after about 9 beers I decided I should fight my roommate who is about 2.5 times stronger than me. I held my own but I took a heavy beating. And everytime I got the upperhand, I came under attack from his gf's spray bottle.

Then we decided it'd be a good idea to sandwich this guy coming out of the bathroom, who was one of the top 100 offensive linemen in the nation coming out of High School a few years ago. Our timing was off, I hit him first with all forward motion, pushed him into the wall, but I forgot to brace my footing at all. I was promptly thrown through a door, into a desk, and bounced onto the floor. My body feels like I've been hit by two trains and a bus.

I'm 6 foot something, 250+ pounds. I don't know this feeling. But I bet it sucks.

that doesn't sound fun. and why/what was the girlfriend spraying?

I've been on the opposite end of that when on a road trip a pitcher on our team decided it would be fun to wrestle me. I threw him over my shoulder and into the ground. When he hit the ground I about crapped myself because I thought I broke his neck

Three things to remember when fighting someone bigger than you.

1. knees
2. nuts
3. throat

Hit him in any of those three areas and he'll drop like a stone.

It was all in fun, no cheap shots. I figured my best shot next time is to go for the legs and get them in a headlock while they're still disoriented from the fall. However, I still don't think there is anything I can do in the short-term to overcome my roommate benching twice as much as me.

Spot him when he benches, and encourage him to bench more than he's capable of, then fail to help him when his arms give out

The problem is you didn't convince your friend to start drinking vodka after the 9 beers. He'd have a tough time grabbing you if the room was spinning.

It wasn't so much a grab, as it was purely an Orlando Pace pancake. There's now a video of it on facebook, for those who are my friends.

Water.
But I think it was laced with Bear Mace.
