When Dr. Pat Ivey arrived at the University of Missouri during the spring of 2004, the first training he emphasized was posterior chain training. Now the Associate Athletic Director of Student-Athlete Health & Performance at the University of Louisville, Ivey still believes the posterior chain is the key to building a solid foundation. After all, he says, that is where the power comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To make sure we are set up to have a good summer, I’ve gone as as far as spending three weeks developing the posterior chain,” says Ivey. “I think of it as the foundation. For a power athlete, you can’t produce power without having a strong posterior chain. If you look at the muscle groups we are talking about, ‘posterior’ means back and ‘chain’ means that everything is connected. So you can look at the upper back, developing the traps through the lower back, erectors, glutes and hamstrings.”<\/p>
