The posterior chain refers to theĀ group of muscles, tendons and ligaments on the posterior kinetic chain of the body. Examples of these muscles include the glutes, hamstrings, lower and upper back, traps and triceps. A dominant posterior chain is fundamental to developing superior power and athletisicm.
