Posterior chain
(Redirected from P-chain)
Template:Short description Template:Refimprove
The posterior chain is a group of muscles on the posterior of the body. Examples of these muscles include the hamstrings,[1] the gluteus maximus,[1] erector spinae[1] muscle group, trapezius, and posterior deltoids.
Exercises
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.
