Cross Training for Table Tennis
Training
Jake Jacobson Asked 10 years ago
In other sports, I've benefited from cross training (such as adding some swimming while training for track and field). Are there non-table tennis activities you recommend as part of a table tennis training program? Thanks, Jake

Hi Jake,
Running, swimming, weight training, even Tennis and other racket sports can be beneficial for Table Tennis.
I think different ways of maintaining fitness are a good way to break up training monotony.

#38 - Backhand 3rd Ball Attack
The backhand topspin off backspin is often considered a harder shot than the forehand. In this week's training session we focus on utilising this shot to make a 3rd ball attack. If you can master this your opponents will find it difficult to stop you attacking and you will constantly have them under pressure.

Thanks Alois! I lift weights two or three times a week and I think it helps my table tennis. -Jake
