Just like how many buildings in the US don't have a 13th floor.

You know what you've prompted me to self-reflect a bit and if I can't answer the specific question I can still answer the more general question and maybe be of some help. It would depend on what the weight loss consisted of - adipose, skeletal muscle, or just water weight - and over what time...

As in only swimmers are more fit than tt players, i.e. the fittest athletes at the summer Olympics are swimmers? Would depend on how they defined fitness but if any strength element played a big role this would not be true for swimmers and table tennis players. Regardless, like I said, it's...

Physique wise in the context of professional athletes they are ultimately unimpressive - definitely not "ripped and fit af". In fact even in the context of people who exercise intensely they are unimpressive. If you put table tennis players in a general physical test of Olympians - mile...

I eat three bananas, because monkey - never - cramps.

The load on the knees in a knee forward lunge or a squat is not meaningfully different - both are positions with maximal knee extension and maximal dorsiflexion. If anything, there's less load in a knees forward lunge.

Fun fact - your index finger is actually your least useful finger. Anyway, in this case you might be better served by thinking about pinching the blade with your index and thumb - kind of naturally forces the rest of your hand to relax, whereas it's relatively hard to actively relax something.

I file these into the collectors category - it's just "market price" at that point.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I am and there's a reason we do our best to encourage meeting with a professional. But in most cases, people just need some sort of strengthening of the joint in all axes of movement, and I mean that in the most colloquial way possible. Sports...

I would've assumed something like Zyre 0Xc keeping in the BTY naming convention. Hopefully won't have to wait too long!

Yeah I can still dunk a basketball what about you? When's the last time you clean and jerked 140? I do owe LJK an apology I never should have doubted the heart of a champion. Whatever they did during the camp for this tournament it definitely helped.

You have it backwards. The Chinese approach dictates that spin brings you consistency and safety. In fact the Chinese term for adding spin is to add insurance (safety).

Fans tend to take success for granted. GOATs like Ma and Fan will skew what success means. It’s unrealistic to expect Tomo, Truls, or Hugo to be like them. Most Champions will be like Schlager or Ryu.

I will tolerate no slander against the fuel of champions.

Never seen a foil on the hologram, but the one on the bottom plate falls off super easy.

It's not shrink wrapped so it's not a China market blade - I would have thought PROTT sold those exclusively. If it was you could have checked the code.

No he needs Olympic gold to even be considered for a discussion. If then, maybe if he beats FZD for gold.

The Japanese don't call him 中国の壁 for nothing. The top specimen are long gone from table tennis. I'm not certain where to though. It's not weightlifting or football, that's for sure. And table tennis height athletes are not basketball material. There was a survey a few years back and among...

This wasn't about the entire retirement saga, just about the response to that one comment "没你爆他" which was seeing giants where there was windmills. There was another part of the video accusing WCQ of joking with his friend in the stands when FZD was down against Tomo at Paris. As if that's...

The normal person perspective is that it's nothing. It's just two teammates having a chat, shooting the shit, dillying the dally. It's neither a generational slight (FZD fans) nor a sick burn (WCQ fans). The thing that made me chuckle is that I am also very keen on going out to eat with my...
