Yes, you read that right, you need to put your backside into it, meaning you can squat to lift the object off the floor or you can hinge forward at the hips.
Either way is correct, and either way, you need to stick out your rear as you go to bend over.
Be sure to keep both feet on the floor and do not lift your heels, as you bend over at the hips make sure that your knees go directly over your feet.
