@Shuki Although you should probably read the OP first before posting :rolleyes:, I do need to say that lower FPS is just less information in the same time. I think a decent level of table tennis would be nearly unplayable at 60FPS due to the lack of information. It's easier to track at 60FPS...

YouTube content creators have got the shaft the past few years in terms of income, allegedly, so that's probably true. :rolleyes:

Let me guess, ITTF also receives monetization funds from those videos.

That makes more sense. Make your flick stronger so the counterattack doesn't blast past you, and make your block/counterloop stronger to counter their counter.

@Takkyu_wa_inochi I understand your thought, but isn't that too theoretical and rooted in absolutes? No two people play the absolute exact same way with the same shot placement, quality and habits and whatnot, so why do you think you should play the exact same against everyone? Say they keep...

So because I am posting in this thread, you don't want to bump a separate, relevant thread and direct the OP there? Sometimes I don't understand your logic in the slightest. :rolleyes:

@ttmonster Point out where I contradicted myself. Oh, so for example, doing floor serves to strengthen the hand muscles for a better serve will make you lose feeling? You're "pretty sure"? Why will you lose feeling? Will you damage the nerves? Cause scar tissue? What is it?

Many good posts have been made about the title and I think it's been answered. However some people think that OP shouldn't stay completely away from weightlifting, and that is why the discussion is where it is.

@ttmonster Yes, I have felt a clear diminished feeling AFTER a workout. That is why you train with weights after you have been to the table. Like I said, the nervous system is very taxed after a workout, and your muscles are tired as well. Holding the racket can be difficult. This is not what...

Of course, if you for example only do bicep curls, and build up large biceps, but you have a very imbalanced arm/back/chest/shoulder area, then that is not good in general and will hamper your table tennis. I don't think we are talking about that. Just by playing and swinging you will build up...

Are you implying that your brain is not in use when you are feeling the ball and producing the impact? Where do you think those sensations are produced? I cannot imagine why lifting weights or increased strength would hamper feeling in any way. Perhaps if you bang your hand onto the weights...

It's from my experience. Although I have worse touch than most people here, so I might not notice any diminished effects. We must also remember that the pro training their body and the amateur is a whole different ballgame. I'm not so sure how much pro-specific things apply to us in a...

Since when do you lose any flexibility or sensitivity if you train your muscles? Next you're going to say that martial artists should stop doing weights and exercises so they can punch and kick faster. Of course, stretching is required to upkeep flexibility, but it is not mutually exclusive with...

I'm on the same line of thought as Pippington. If you train for mass, you train for mass, but you don't gain mass from low weight, high reps. You gain strength.

Aren't built well? Good one. Train the entire body, but don't train like a bodybuilder.

I must say that it is very easy to have tight serve receive against worse opponents, quite the contrary when playing people who disguise the serve well enough to fool you sometimes. You don't want to always go in for a very tight and low push because it could suddenly net. Just look at what...

Who gives a shit, anyway?

NL, I suggest you place your body before your game. If you can't go more on your knees, then you can't. You've made it work without. I can still imagine myself, what a full body loop would look like.
