What weight training is necessary for table tennis? I heard people say weight training is necessary for table tennis like Xu Xin? What is it?

Hi Jason,
That is a big question.
The use of weights can help you to increase strength and therefore power with your strokes. I think that the legs are the biggest areas to improve with weights.
It is best to go and see someone specifically to help you with a program tailored to yourself.
If you look at all of the top players yo will see the power they possess in their legs to generate fast movement and also to generate power through their strokes.

#8 - Fast Footwork
In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
