Seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger made such a name for himself in the realm of bodybuilding that, despite his retirement decades ago, he still resides in the hearts of the lifting community. Being his son, Joseph Baena does enjoy the legacy and fame his father established. Even though Baena does not like to get associated with his father, and he, to date, refuses to take his name for this very reason, it is difficult to avoid this. But like his father, he enjoys gymming and has a passion for being fit.

In a recent Instagram video where Baena and Eric Janicki can be seen posing together after a workout session, the comments section on the video saw multiple comments from fans who drew comparisons between Janicki and Baena.

Joseph Baena and Eric Janicki’s epic posing session

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Being the son of a bodybuilding legend, Baena has inherited the genetics of Arnold, which helped him build an insanely ripped physique over the years, unlike other bodybuilders who are reliant on steroids to make incredibly shredded physiques. His determination and dedication to fitness is unparalleled. Another man of the same qualities is fitness creator and online coach Eric Janicki, who has a mass-monster physique. In a recent collaboration that the two did, they showed their audience a few aesthetic bodybuilding poses.

Posting a brief glimpse of their workout together in an Instagram reel, Janicki wrote in the caption, “Posing with the legend @joebaena. Full chest day to follow.” Upon coming across the post, many fans and viewers expressed their views on the same. While many people drew comparisons between the duo, others could not help but appreciate their jacked physiques.

The lifting community was left bedazzled by the duo’s poses

One of the users wrote in the comment section, “Bro you are with the guy whose father is the king of bodybuilding era,” while another compliment intended for Baena read, “In contrast to tons of fitness influencers, Baena has one of the healthiest and most natural bodies on the internet. He looks fantastic.”

Another comment from one of the users stated, “Dudes been lifting for a short time. Already looking like his dad.” An honest confession by one of the fans read, “def a legend in the making! Keep it up @joebaena it would be an honor being able to do a workout session with you even though I don’t workout a lot,” while a user also pointed out, “Bro the side chest looks a lot like arnolds.”
