Training
Hello,
Is muscle growth a bad issue for table tennis players?
I have been playing table tennis for more than 10 years and just started to work with weights half a year ago.
I feel that my muscles are bigger, arms muscles also.
So, what can you tell about this? Any similar experience from your stundents?
Hi Mindaugas,
Muscle development is not detrimental to playing well. It can benefit you because the increase in muscle will mean more power.
Take a look at the blogs we have on these subjects.
Weight Training Specifically for Table Tennis and Strength Conditioning for Table Tennis.
Due to the speed at which the modern game of Table Tennis is played, the backhand has become a stroke which can separate the medium level players from the elite players. Make sure you pay attention to your backhand and develop it so that you opponent cannot get a soft ball by simply playing to your backhand.
