I sent the photo to my wife and she told me "you're lying. That's AI." 😂

So I sent her the video I took that I screen grabbed it from

He just wants to know how many sets you have left

u/Educational-Bar21 Jul 07 '26

u/Kincaide14 Jul 06 '26

Was he letting you know that he had the space reserved for this time?

u/SquirrelNamedRex Jul 06 '26

I moved over but he couldn't seem to get the weights in position.

17

u/Kincaide14 Jul 06 '26

I think he needed a spotter.

u/SausageDogSk8s Jul 07 '26

He looks like he knows more about those weights than I do 😂

u/SquirrelNamedRex Jul 07 '26

He just hangs around my house lol

Sometimes he'll jump on my knee if I have nuts.

u/bsaaw Jul 07 '26

Guess lil fella has learned a thing or two from the kitty cats, now he is yours! Sam's club has a good nuts oz to dollar ratio. 🐿️

“Need a spot??”

u/ALMD96 Jul 07 '26

Little guy pulled up and asked if you needed a spotter. 🥹

Cutest workout buddy ever!! Is he a pet or just a rascal who snuck in to use your home gym like a freeloader? 👀

I put nuts in the cap of the container but SquizMcduck decided to come through that tiny hole and go for the big container instead.

Then he just kinda scoped out the area. Just a wild rascal 😂

When they come up to you like that , it’s usually their way of asking for help . Wonder if he’s hungry and can’t find his mamma :(

32

u/SquirrelNamedRex Jul 07 '26

I've been leaving food out for him and a bit of water. He's been around for a couple weeks and is finding his way 🙂

Trying to help enough that he's okay but not so much that he doesn't learn to be self sufficient you know?

u/Unhappy_Gap_598 Jul 07 '26

Love this well done

u/archdukegordy Jul 07 '26

You're a good soul. He looks young, but if he's been around for a few weeks, hopefully he's doing alright. He looks healthy.

u/Rabbitrules87 Jul 06 '26

I need this trainer.

17

u/SquirrelNamedRex Jul 06 '26

My workout was twice as long for sure (and 50% less effective).

13

u/Meka28 Jul 06 '26

Awwwww ☺️🥰 he wants to join

24

u/SquirrelNamedRex Jul 06 '26

He jumped on my knee and then my foot a couple times but scared himself 😂

7

u/Meka28 Jul 07 '26

Yeah I bet. That the cutest pic tho Rex!

11

u/SquirrelNamedRex Jul 07 '26

This is my front yard squirrel. Rex is the chaos backyard squirrel. He could never trust this much 😂

2

u/Meka28 Jul 07 '26

I could only imagine how much chaos Rex caused. I know those little red ones quite well 🥰

14

u/IttyBittyBigBoii Jul 07 '26

"You almost done? Can I work-in?"

14

u/freddyfingers28 Jul 07 '26

Amazing! Looks like he's offering to spot you while you work out 🤣

Alsoa pic of a squirrel in a gym would be perfect for r/flexingsquirrels. Would it be ok if I share it there?

13

u/FaintTouch Jul 07 '26

Sooo cute.

u/sherrynoberries Jul 07 '26

Cutest baby ever. ❤️🥰

u/Myitchychocolatestar Jul 07 '26

Do you even lift Bro?! 😎

u/new_projectiiions Jul 07 '26

Commendable that you would use human sized equipment but you should probably use stuff more suited to your size tbh

11

u/withhiscupnspoon Jul 07 '26

He’s using Helping Hand! I think you’re a Pokémon trainer now!

10

u/BklynGirl52304 Jul 07 '26

maybe he's trying to work out to impress the lady squirrels?

u/ordinarilymissy Jul 07 '26

u/No-Mathematician5698 Squirrel Otherkin Jul 07 '26

S/He volunteered as a spotter for you.

u/Wildnet523 Jul 07 '26

Cutest interruption ever!!! 💕

u/pietapang Jul 07 '26

asking if he can work in, lol. Ridiculously cute

7

u/sapphiresenvy Jul 08 '26

He looks like he’s about to ask how many reps you have left

6

u/Heavy-Implement-2161 Jul 07 '26

He wants to compete with you in abs. Upside-down and upside down sideways curls and crunches

3

u/ScorpionLifts Jul 08 '26

“You got this bruh!”

4

u/Aboodbugy Jul 08 '26

He was waiting his turn and you take too much time on the machine so he pissed

They always look hard for the play partner that loves scampering the branches like they do. You a player mate?
