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.
