“Are You Dumb”: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Bodybuilder Son Struggles to Use a Machine at the Gym

Being Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son comes with privileges as well as responsibilities. Working out in the gym and aiming for a good physique is just one of the most obvious unspoken rules of it. Joseph Baena, Schwarzenegger’s youngest, is currently living up to those standards. His humor was not lost on him as the 25-year-old was recently seen trying very hard to perform a workout routine in the gym.

Joseph Baena, who has already dipped his toe in bodybuilding, acting, fitness modeling, and even a real estate agent, was recently seen goofing around in the gym with a machine. Here’s what he was doing.

Just like his father, Joseph Baena loves spending time in the gym

Joseph Baena recently took to TikTok to post, “Are you dumb, or are you just trying to use the smith machine?…” Attached alongside was a video where the caption, “Tell me I’m not the only one…,” came up that detailed on his struggle to set up the machine. While to the naked eye, it seems like Baena clearly doesn’t know anything about it, the typical music attached to it hints at the humor intended with this video.

In this 10-second clip, Baena seemed to be dragging a part of the machine and trying to place it in its correct position. His bodily actions hint at him being unsure if it was placed in the correct order. He then tried readjusting it, while scratching his head, a basic indicator of ‘not knowing about it’. Given that he is already a bodybuilder, and has frequently worked out with his bodybuilder dad, it didn’t take long to figure out the humor in the video.

The Smith machine is particularly renowned for prepping the body for heavyweight training and giving extra assistance to weaker muscles. Even four-time Mr. Olympia winner Jay Cutler once advised to stay away from heavy flat bench presses and use Smith machine press instead.

Besides working out in the gym (whether or not with a Smith machine), Baena also trains in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has also been featured on the cover of Men’s Health magazine on March 2022. Baena has big ambitions and great plans ahead of him just like his father. And just like his father, his humor is also not lost on him.
