Start in standing with the weight at about waist height. Activate your core, keep ribs down and a minimal arch in your low back, and hold the weight as close to your body as you comfortably can. Take a step back or out to the side depending on your setup, squat down to touch your weight to the ground, then stand up and return to the start position. Use your legs to squat down rather than bending forward and reaching. If you can’t get the weight to the floor without compromising your back, lower to a shorter level e.g. block, low table, etc.
