The full breakdown. What it is, why it matters, how to use it.
The posterior chain includes glutes, hamstrings, erector spinae, lats, and rear delts — the muscles that drive hip extension, pull movements, and athletic power. Most modern lifestyles weaken it (sitting all day), so deadlifts, hip thrusts, RDLs, and rows are non-negotiable for posture and physique.
