Arnold Schwarzenegger became the original record-setter, winning seven Mr. Olympia titles. However, 26-year-old Joseph wants to emulate his father’s Hollywood physique. Since the young bodybuilding enthusiast has no desire to compete, he focuses on striking the right balance between aesthetics and muscularity.

While Joseph Baena might have been gifted with the incredible genetics of the Austrian Oak, achieving his current physique was no easy task. His hard work is paying off, as the fitness community can’t stop praising the bodybuilder’s physique in his latest update. However, a simple hack might be why Arnie’s son’s physique looks better than ever.

Joe has gained muscle and become more shredded in the last few years. However, the youngest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger used down-lighting to make his muscles pop even more. The bodybuilder found the perfect lighting inside Gold’s Gym and hit some bodybuilding poses. “Everything hits different with the right lighting,” wrote Joseph Baena.

Baena looked even more ripped than usual, thanks to the down-lighting and shadows accentuating his muscles. The lighting made his seratus and abs pop, making his midsection look diced. However, Baena wouldn’t have made such progress if Arnold Schwarzenegger never handed a copy of his book.

The Modern Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding played a massive role in inspiring Joseph Baena to take bodybuilding seriously. Today, the actor has launched a training program and regularly inspires people to start their fitness journey.
