Then put your arm through the box, and allow your thumb and index finger to rest on top of the weight. Carefully transfer the weight to your free arm. Place the box to your right side so your feet are flat on the ground. Then lean forward over the bar so your face is towards the bar. Release the box and lower your arms down so they are horizontally perpendicular to the bar. Use your non-dominant hand to support your lower back, offering a firm grip. Place your hands on the bar with your palms facing you. Lift yourself upward and hold yourself slightly over the bar.
