Clip Of 1-Year-Old Boy Picking Up 15-Pound Ball Spreads Across Internet

While many of us spend our free time on the couch, a 1-year-old baby is showing us all up with his incredible determination and strength. The baby, who is now a viral sensation on TikTok, is seen trying to pick up his father’s 15-pound medicine ball while in his playpen. The first video of the two-part series shows the tenacious 1-year-old try time after time to get the ball off the ground — but to no avail. Even though he continues to fail — and is halfway between crying and screaming in frustration — this little guy doesn’t give up.

As the second video shows, the 1-year-old gives it a few more tries, only to succeed as he groans with the weight he has to bear. In the background, we can hear his dad say, “Oh my god,” as it seems he is in disbelief that his son is already trying to match his workout.

What makes the video even more impressive is that the baby lifts the ball not once, but twice!

Since his father uploaded the remarkable video on TikTok on August 23, 2021, it has received more than 34 million views and 80,000 comments. Someone also posted the video to Reddit, where the clip has also found a significant audience. Many of the commenters online joked that the baby’s form actually isn’t that bad. However, some took issue with the video, writing that it’s unhealthy for a 1-year-old to lift something so heavy, especially such a large object like the medicine ball.

“Form was pretty decent on his first lift. Drove his legs into the ground and used his back a bit in the end,” one Redditor wrote. “2nd lift it just unraveled. Could really see the fatigue setting in. Get usage of the pacifier tho, mentally in tune and breathing seemed adequate. I see great things on the horizon,” they added.

“Shoulder width stance, full squat, and that power move at the end had me dying. This babys got better form than most,” another user wrote, echoing the praise the 1-year-old has received for his form.

Some viewers, on the other hand, seemed to take issue with the video on health and safety grounds.

“You’re jeopardizing your own child for some internet clicks. Good job,” one Redditor wrote, critiquing the video.

Regardless of whether it was harmful or not, the video is certainly impressive, and it’s clear that this 1-year-old will join the many talented, young stars on TikTok like Megan Rakesh.

Megan, 9, has shocked the world with her impeccable singing abilities, including one of her musical idols, Alicia Keys.

Megan put her own spin on a Keys’ classic by performing “Fallin’” in a TikTok video that ended up circulating around social media in late August 2020. It even made its way to other platforms such as Instagram. While many people have since seen the outstanding vocal performance Megan put on, she was most excited about none other than Keys not only seeing the video but also sharing it on her own Instagram story.

In any case, these viral videos clearly showcase the next generation of talented individuals.
