3. 03Reposition your arms higher around the stone, pull it firmly into your chest, and bring your feet into a strong stance.
4. 04Extend your hips and knees forcefully while rolling the stone up your torso and guiding it onto one shoulder.
5. 05Stabilize the stone briefly, then return it to the floor or designated drop area under control and clear your body before it lands.
