• The straps distribute the weight evenly to create leverage.
  

• The straps also lower the center of gravity of the object being held, reducing the strain on the wearer's body.
  

• Cross both straps under the heavy object, ensuring they're centered.
  

• Slip each loop at the end of the straps onto each forearm of each person.
  

• Now lift. It should be much easier with the help of the straps.
