Never underestimate the determination of a toddler, as one couple found out while their one-year-old baby struggled to pick up a 15 lb medicine ball and eventually succeeding in the task.
The user, TikToker @truerebel88, caught the impossible task on video. The baby vocalizes frustration as it repeatedly lifts the incredibly heavy (for a toddler) object off the ground and places it back down again.
The baby does this twice, while the adults laugh in amazement in the background.
@truerebel88 my one year old was determined to pick up this 15 pound medicine ball and succeeded!

Redditors were happy to provide commentary on how perfect the child's form was, as one said:
"Shoulder width stance, full squat, and that power move at the end had me dying. This baby's got better form than most."
And yet another said:
"Form was pretty decent on his first lift. Drove his legs into the ground and used his back a bit in the end. 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."

Another video later surfaced from the original poster of his son trying (and failing) to pick up the medicine ball and being very confused and angry about its weight.
But like we said at the beginning--never underestimate the determination of a toddler.
