The video shot at Gold’s Gym featured Baena talking about his plan for the day. But things took a turn when workout descriptions soon began sounding like a sad cry for poor Joe. He spoke about how he was going to work on his pushes “for all the times she pushed me away”. Things escalated from there as he compared working on his shoulders to “all the shoulders I couldn’t cry on”. And so on.
While it isn’t clear if there’s actually a ‘she’ involved in Joe’s sad cries, fans surely heard his satirical sadness. The comments section was filled with uplifting words and wishes. Some encouraged Baena to move on with comments like, “Damn Baena don’t let her get you too down bro. Forget her and move on!”. Meanwhile, others shared their own experience – “Preach boss about to hit my CrossFit workout giving myself the love I deserve happy V day”.
