It confused Baena as to whether to concentrate on his set or give attention to the person talking to him. In his post, he mentioned that engaging in conversations between sets can have benefits, however, he added that it’s essential to be mindful of when to initiate or participate in them, particularly when someone is in the middle of a set or visibly focused on their training.
“A little banter at the gym is great, but wait until I finish my set. I always feel rude interrupting, but I guess it’s fine if you don’t do it in a je*k way,” he wrote in the caption. The son of a legendary bodybuilder has long been associated with bodybuilding. He often shares some tips and insights about workout routines and activities.

However, this stark contrast made Joseph draw a hilarious conclusion as he said that one needs proper gym shorts to build a physique like that. “If you don’t have the proper shorts, you can’t come to Gold’s Gym and train legs without them,” Baena said in his video. His witty statement is a testament to the fact that just like Arniold’s physique, Baena has also inherited his father’s sense of humor.
