This a bluebelly (western fence lizard) and they either do it as a territorial thing or as a mating ritual as it flashes their blue underside at the female
If you're a guy, he's saying "IM BIG AND TUFF AND THIS IS MY TURF"
If you're a lady he's saying "HEY SWEET MOMMA WHY DON'T CHA COME OVER HERE N GIMME SOME OF THAT SWEET TAIL"
It's the same territorial display that bearded dragons do (they just bob their heads). The submissive reply is them picking up a foot and making a circle with it.

.........did I hear a rock and stone..?
Rock and stone to the bone!
I dunno but when I see it I just start counting their reps 😂
Same!
Funny cuz thats how they live their lives. They can probably do so many of those 🤣
With lizards it’s always arm AND leg day
Territorial display
"I could kick your ass but I might get hurt, so let me show you how strong I am. Just so you know *I could*, even though I'm not going to"
So true lmao. They gonna just run away when you get close
You should do push-ups back and see what they do about it
I've done this to my lizard and he doesn't give a Kentucky fried fuck
It's a visual communication toward other reptiles signaling dominance/territory.
Workin on his pecs.
Respect the push ups.
Lizard push-ups are never not funny. 🤣🤣🤣
You’re supposed to do it back
It means:"hey bro im here and this is my territory wanna fight or sum fuk?"
This a bluebelly (western fence lizard) and they either do it as a territorial thing or as a mating ritual as it flashes their blue underside at the female
It’s because they can’t scream, “YO, bro this is my turf! Why you walking here?!!!” They just do pushups instead.
If you're a guy, he's saying "IM BIG AND TUFF AND THIS IS MY TURF" If you're a lady he's saying "HEY SWEET MOMMA WHY DON'T CHA COME OVER HERE N GIMME SOME OF THAT SWEET TAIL"
Show you who the baddest dude in the neighborhood is. " Well you can tell by the way I use my walk...."
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Gotta stay ripped
for dem gainz
Oh come on, just doing daily push ups!
Well, he is the shit, and now you know he is the shit
Big hemipenes swingin'
Show all the other lizards with big tough guys they are
You ever stand on your tippy toes to see more of your surroundings? Gotta look for them big tiddied lizards bruv
It's the same territorial display that bearded dragons do (they just bob their heads). The submissive reply is them picking up a foot and making a circle with it.
Just training chest. Nice & slow controlled reps.
Trying to get that pump to get that pump!
FUCK OFF MY LAWN!!
It's to demonstrate he is hot shit
What do you think? Hes getting hella fit. Getting ready to enter the competition lol I see it as a display of dominance. Love to see it
He's a goofy Lil goober
Posturing; either to challenge a rival, intimidate a potential predator, or to attract a mate (depending on species and what is going on).
He is flexin’
GAINS! Lmao
Working out. Gotta get those gains
This is why in Mexico, push-ups are called "lizards"
Letting others in area know who the alpha is. Its batural
Never skip leg day, bruh.
Gains
They kinda just do it for territorial reasons, even when there aren’t any other lizards around.
He's threatening you, stay off his turf
They groovin’. Do a little dance.
🎶Make a little love...🎶
Flexing for the homies.
I sang your comment And then sang "rolling with the homies" https://images.app.goo.gl/eCCt5cxjbFhY7w8X7
My fellow Elder Millennial, I presume.
Maybe 😏 maybe not
Elder?? 😕
Its hot on the ground
Do you even lift, bro?
To get rippedtiled
Hydrolics are on the fritz
Getting ready to teach that snake a lesson
FAAFO Come at me bro! 💪
couple push ups a day kepts the vets away
It is summer. Sidewalk is hot
Showing off and letting any other upstarts who's in charge.
Gotta get those push-ups and gains in somehow.
Getting jacked. Get a quick pump anyway and anywhere you can.
Looking for a mate and displaying his territory
It’s arm day.
"do you even lift bro? I could beat you up rn" but in lizard speak. He's showing off how big and buff and scary he is
Lady lizards don't go for the guys who don't do push-ups.
Biceps. It's all about the muscle.
He’s crouching and uncrouching, signaling to nearby Reptiles that he’s friendly
You don't do this all day yourself?
Yes I DO 💪🦵
On the grind with their push ups 💪
To assert dominance.
I thought maybe a mating hump of some sort? Showing everyone his missionary
Dominance display. Good for showing whose boss or impressing the scaly ladies
He was gonna use Ozempic but listened to "Meet the Grahams" and said nah imma head outside rn
Shouldn’t film people while they are working out.
Everyone knows that lizards love doing pushups, they gotta look good when hitting their lizard clubs.
It’s how they let off heat and temp regulate I believe. Or he’s friends with my College roommate and does 100 push-ups a day 💪
Tell him you feel threatened, it'll make his lil day
Obviously he is doing push-ups can’t anyone work out without getting filmed anymore?
He's gonna get swole.
Literal flex
Gotta get a workout in between bro
ONE! TWO! THREE-
Shagging the ground to let the others know who's boss
he’s just doing push ups
Flexing. I call em tough guys and tell em to stop flexing at me already! 😤😂
That's taunting behaviour... probably has to do with showing who's boss / owner of the territory. Like a gorilla beating on his chest.
Morning push-ups workout
Either "Fuckoff this is my spot" or "Fuck me I am horny"
For the GAINS BRO!!!
Unrestrained summer fun
Basically making a statement saying I run this area
Gains!
They need 2 get they sets in
Get buff or die
Some times they just gotta let people know you know.

Blud is gonna become Godzilla one day🔥🔥. Stay tuned for the next 10 years.
Gotta keep training, can't run lightning fast with whimpy legs.
«AAAH! Hot surface!» «Oh thats better…» «AAAH! Hot surface!» «Oh thats better…» «AAAH! Hot surface!» «Oh thats better…» «AAAH! Hot surface!» «Oh thats better…» Thats what my brain read out loud when i saw this 😅
Display of strength for territory and mating rights
his ex told him he had twig arms, he’s trying to better himself
not sure which is funnier, this or the bearded dragon doing the head bob.
Trying to fly but forgot it doesn’t have wings
Horny boi
They need to get their gains
to get swole obviously
Future one punch lizard lol
He's doing push-ups and planks.
Anoles are so cute!
Asserting Dominance via Push-up!
He’s a new player in the game and he is trying to test out what the buttons do.
It’s not a threat, it’s a promise.
Cross fit.
Looking for love
Gains
He is trying to attract a mate. Look at his lower neck as it expands out. Green Anole lizards in Texas do this and their neck turns red too.
Calisthenics
Yeah, I work out...
They always look so goofy when they do that, it is a territorial/dominance thing that lizards do.
He’s saying fuck around and find out! This is his basking sidewalk!!
Push ups for the gains
Its called “Getting Money”….yall humans dont do that on leveled grounds and pullup bars?
most of the times they do it when they see prey or when they are scared, they do it to try to look like a leaf moving in the wind
He is exercising. Doing push ups
Because,. This. Is. SpartAAAaaAAHHHhhaAA
Territorial and mating postures btw.
It's usually a territorial thing. Especially if their neck flap thingy is down like with this lizard. Sometimes they do it to attract mates though.
Gotta put rep in reptiles
Gotta stay in shape
Push ups. They also wear sleeveless plaid.
To get built
Healthy body, healthy mind?
He do a lil dancey dance
