Before you step under the yoke, take a breath and set your shoulders back and down. Walk underneath slowly and pick it up off the frame on your terms—never rush loading a heavy piece onto your shoulders. Once it's secure, stand tall, engage your core, and keep your eyes forward. Take deliberate steps and maintain an upright torso. The weight should press evenly into both shoulders. Walk the distance at a controlled pace, resisting the urge to rush. Lower it back onto the frame with the same control you used to pick it up, letting your legs do the work, not your back.
