What is the correct procedure for lifting a heavy box from the floor to a table height shelf

Bend knees 90 degrees( kind of like a squat) this puts the least pressure and strain on your back. Place hands to pick up box (depends on the box, but mostly at the sides and hold from below) slowing straighten legs/knees from the positions and then proceed to place it on table.
