Joseph Baena, the son of the legendary seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/], is a stickler for the fitness industry. Baena often drops fitness updates on his Instagram, and has even taken to trying out different training methods as well. The Austrian Oak’s son has been following functional training for a while and recently showcased his immense gains after switching from the traditional approach. A few hours earlier, Baena posted on his Instagram, a series of pictures of his insane posing routine, making his fans reminisce about the Terminator’s prime era. But what poses did the 26-year-old perform? BAENA GIVES HIS PICTURES THE RETRO TREATMENT In the pictures, Baena displayed his aesthetic physique and emulated a few poses that the Austrian Oak did in the past. He started by doing a three-quarter front bicep pose and showcasing his symmetrical biceps. Baena’s small waist complemented his upper body. On the other hand, Arnie is famous for performing this pose and showcasing his mountain-like biceps. The next pose the fitness enthusiast hit was the legendary pose the Terminator is known for, the archer pose. This pose displayed Baena’s well-built back, and the detailing matched the standards set by Arnie. The last pose he did was the rear lat and bicep pose, displaying all the hard work he has put in to sculpt his aesthetic physique. Baena decided to take each picture in black and white and this gave the pictures an 80s-era vibe. With each passing pose, Baena showcased his resemblance with Schwarzenegger, making fans wonder if they were looking at Arnie or his son. FANS GO GAGA OVER BAENA’S PHYSIQUE An admirer of Baena commented, encouraging him for more crazy adventures ahead. “If not you then who?” they wrote. A bodybuilding enthusiast was baffled by the similarities between the father and the son and commented, “I thought it was your dad for a moment.” One fan commented about Baena continuing his father’s legacy and wrote, “Making ur dad proud.“ Another fan wrote how Arnie’s son was making good use of the genetics he inherited and wrote, “Happy to see you are not wasting the genes you got.” Baena’s post caught a fan off-guard, and he commented, “Wasn’t ready for something this epic today.” While one fan thought the guy in the picture posing was Arnold and commented, “Arnold, is that you?“ After taking a glimpse of Joseph Baena’s recent post, do you also find a resemblance with the seven-time Mr. Olympia? Let us know in the comments. 

The newest physique update by the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger's son makes the internet go crazy in the comments section.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger: </strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business.

Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.

Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport.
