This little bear just wanted to get swole, but ended up stuck instead.

Police officers in Colorado Springs, Colorado came to the rescue when a bear cub was discovered wandering around with her head stuck in a jar of protein powder at an intersection.

Presumably, the little bear was just trying out a brawnier lifestyle and got a little too enthusiastic.

The police placed the cub in the backseat of a squad car and escorted her to a fire station, where the bear was sedated and the plastic jar was removed with the necessary tools.

The cub was then released back into the wild, where she will hopefully be reunited with her mama bear.
