Posterior chain
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.

gollark: It's not a statement about intelligence - as far as I can tell most people have no idea how the fairly interesting technology driving this sort of thing (and basically everything *else* in computing) actually works, don't particularly care, and resist being told about it.↓ below person: this is relevant information which people considering buying it should probably know, so that they can use their money effectively
gollark: No, I mean the predictive text probably will get better at some point because of this sort of thing, and then I suppose you'll just ignore it and assume it magically gets better by magic.
gollark: This is also possible.
gollark: Oh, *you will*.

The anatomical term “posterior” refers to the backside of the body. Thus, the phrase, “posterior chain,” refers to the muscles of the backside of the body, specifically the low back, gluteals, hamstrings and calf muscles.
