Daniel Douglas Asked 15 years ago
I was wondering what kind of weight lifting exercises you would suggest to do, that would really help in matches and over-all table tennis play. I know doing running and any other aerobic exercises are is a great way. But what else?

Hi Daniel,
The main muscles that need work is the legs as this is where your power comes from.
Take a look at a previous blog.
Weight Training Specifically for Table Tennis and Strength Conditioning for Table Tennis
I think these will help you.

Do you enjoy watching great Table Tennis rallies where one player is smashing and the other is lobbing? Of course you do, everyone loves that. In Table Tennis if you can win a point when lobbing then it will really play with your opponents mind. It's really a 2 point turnaround from 1 they should have won to 1 you actually won. In this session we give you plenty of practice to improve your lobbing skills.

im told that doing barbell squats with low weight and high number of reps is very good for table tennis conditioning.
