Bodybuilder and actor Joseph Baena has made his father proud by following in his footsteps. While Baena hasn’t graced the Olympia stage like Arnold Schwarzenegger, the 26-year-old is dedicated to improving his physique. Earlier, the bodybuilding enthusiast posted some photographs and impressed fans with his physique update. However, he did it in a unique fashion.

Most bodybuilders post physique updates by posting a few stills of themselves hitting different poses. The youngest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, on the other hand, created a whole narrative with just three pictures. Joseph Baena seemed to be looking at someone outside the frame in the first image. In the second image, he smiled while maintaining eye contact with the individual.

Finally, in the third image, he emulated his father’s iconic front-double biceps pose. Baena tied the narrative together in his caption. “‘Can you stop flexing in the mirror?’ – training partner,” wrote the bodybuilder. It seems like the bodybuilder is in no mood to stop flexing in front of the mirrors of Gold’s Gym anytime soon. He also wishes his fans a “Happy Friday!”

Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joseph Baena had not taken to bodybuilding or weightlifting since childhood. Instead, he participated in sports like swimming. However, Arnie’s genetics shined through as he developed a lean physique through swimming and football without even touching weights. So, how did the Bully High actor fall in love with bodybuilding?

While studying abroad, Baena got out of shape. Once he returned to America, he chose the gym to lose weight. While he focused mostly on cardio, Arnold Schwarzenegger gifted him a valuable book. Baena read through his father’s book, Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, transforming his view of the sport. Since then, he has been impressing fans with his gains. Fans echoed similar sentiments in the comments section of his newest post as well.

Bodybuilding fans see Arnie in Baena 

“Arnold Natty version,” wrote one fan, shedding light on the fact that Baena had not hopped on PEDs yet. “Legacy of (the) father. So cool!” commented a second fan who saw Baena’s similarity with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Meanwhile, another cracked a lighthearted joke. “3 sets of smiling till failure,” they wrote.

Fans also agreed that Joseph Baena had the right to flex his muscles to his heart’s content. “If you got it, flaunt it,” wrote one fan. “Damn, you are in great shape. Respect,” commented one of the actor’s followers. Joseph Baena’s constant improvements have impressed fans, who may expect many more mirror selfies.

While the bodybuilder son of Arnold Schwarzenegger has no intention of competing on the bodybuilding stage, he does dream of becoming an action star. The 26-year-old isn’t satisfied with his physique yet and will surely continue to update fans as he makes his desired gains.
