Daniel Douglas Asked 15 years ago
I was wondering what kind of weight lifting exercises you would suggest to do, that would really help in matches and over-all table tennis play. I know doing running and any other aerobic exercises are is a great way. But what else?

Hi Daniel,
The main muscles that need work is the legs as this is where your power comes from.
Take a look at a previous blog.

im told that doing barbell squats with low weight and high number of reps is very good for table tennis conditioning.
