🏋🏻♀️If you don’t have a fancy dolly/lifter thing you gotta squat down and use those glutes WHILE engaging your core.
🗣️Talk it out (or laugh about how easy this is!) which also helps coordinate where you are moving said item to the other lifter (if you have another helper)
If you do have a fun lifter thing, engage your core, keep talking it out or breathing, bring item close to your body and move your whole body NOT just twisting at the torso (ack! Your back!) to get where you need to go - if it’s level with where you are - awesome - set it down and secure it in place.
If it’s like a Costco grocery haul cart to trunk situation THEN squat or deadlift into position and bring item close to your trunk to avoid extra pulling on your lower back.
I don’t have time for back pain nor does this incredible woman who I met through Facebook marketplace that refinishes amazing vintage pieces of furniture and has the equipment to help load it! Brava!
