Examples of these muscles include the hamstrings,[1] the gluteus maximus,[1] erector spinae[1] muscle group, trapezius, and posterior deltoids.
The primary exercises for developing the posterior chain are the Olympic lifts, squats,[1] good-mornings, bent-over rows, deadlifts,[1] pull-ups and hyperextensions.
The common denominator among many of these movements is a focus on hip extension, excluding bent-over rows and pull ups.
Working on hamstrings is also important.
