Training
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.
By throwing in some long returns you will keep your opponent off balance so when you do return the ball short they can't just be standing there waiting for it. But your long serve needs to be effective so they can't attack it too strongly. Watch this master class to find out all the important information about returning long.
