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.
What should you do when you get forced back from the table? Should you just close your eyes and try and smash the ball back? Should you lob the ball back and try and stay in the point? This week in our master class we discuss your options and when to use the lob, chop or counter attack.
