Starting from standing the goal is to bend the ankles, knees, and hips while simultaneously keeping your chest up as high as possible and only then setting an object down on a surface.  It sounds simple but the execution and practice are fraught with the temptation to do the opposite (putting something on the ground without an appropriate bend of the lower extremities).  Keeping your chest up while you bend the ankles knees and hips is not so easy it turns out; but a simple practice and promotion of fortifying principles will help immensely.Welcome to Nucleus Strength; a Podcast devoted to Movement, Health, and Well Being.
