SSF is proud to add Tristan Yunker as a sponosred fighter. He is a 12-5 professional Mixed Martial Artist out of Indianapolis, IN. Tristan will fight on September 21 in the main event of the International Fight Organization, where he will be facing off against Rob Kimmons (14-3), for the IFO Welterweight Title. Tristan has had a lot of success as a Lightweight, with wins over UFC Vets, Clay Guida & John Halverson, as well as Shooto Vet, Tom Niinimaki, and Human Weapon host, Jason Chambers. But now feels that it is time for him to make the jump up to Welterweight, and make his mark there. This bout will be broadcast nationally on HDNet, as part of the FIRST EVER “HDNet Fights” which will eventually be HDNet & Mark Cuban’s own brand of MMA.Profile Video:

Power Puncher’s Work Out
This workout includes a leg exercise for two reasons. First, as mentioned above, punching power is delivered from the ground up and powerful legs are indispensable.Try to imagine how weak your punches would be if you were suspended above the floor by a cable and could not anchor your feet. Every punch would set you swinging and barely impact your opponent.For the next two months do your normal weight lifting routine, except substitute these three exercises for whatever you are using now for these muscles. Do these exercises no more than twice per week and when any one of them does not increase at least 3% add two extra days off between all your weightlifting workouts.
