Those solutions work, but you can also do the old "bend your knees" solution. When picking up a sizeable box or load, and you're doing it alone, never lift with your back! Always bend and use your knees while rising up with your arms and hands.
This video shows some good points about how to avoid back injuries. Back injuries are too common. Some of these are by lack of training, while others may be attributed to workers who rush to lift something before they think about the consequences.
Bend the knees back straight 1 leg in front of the other and up you go 😊 in one move. breath out when you picked it up breath in when you bend down to grab the object. Good to go
