SQUAT

Almost every athletic movement you can think of involves the posterior chain one way or another, whether it be a jump, a side step, a leap or a deceleration. Some researchers have suggested that developing your posterior chain will also improve horizontal power and top-end speed; these are two of the most important attributes to have in almost any sport. And how do we improve that, simple… Deadlift and Squat.
