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.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
