Inside the Program: Why Your Back Day Matters More Than You ThinkA 5-week back, glutes, and hamstring training cycle for women in perimenopause and menopause.- Why posterior chain training matters after 40- How to deadlift without wrecking your lower back; and- What's inside the new Deep Kimchi Training Labs app.Every month I pull back the curtain on what Deep Kimchi subscribers are training.This week: the start of a new 5-week workout focused on the back, glutes, and hamstrings — the entire backside of the body.We get into why the back comes after shoulders, why I chose the trap bar deadlift and the chest-supported row, how the five weeks build from foundation to peak, and what's actually inside the new interactive training app.(Hint: it's not another workout tracker.)A new opportunity for meaningful muscle — in spite of menopause — is always right around the corner.
