full nelson

A wrestling hold in which a person is restrained from behind, with both arms wrapped under the opponent's armpits and the hands are held on the back of the neck.

Originally named after a wrestling move, but most often seen with the reverse suspended congress sex position, where the person is folded in half and their legs are held back by the knees instead of being held under the armpits.

This appears very similar to the lesser-used locked legs restraining pose, but the restrainer is using their own legs to pin their opponent's legs, not their arms.
