The world is no stranger to bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s love and passion for working out in the gym. In a classic case of ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree’, his son Joseph Baena has inherited an almost similar fondness for going to the gym. His recent post-workout update from inside the gym fetched high praise from the bodybuilding world. And unsurprisingly, it drew an inevitable comparison with his seven-time Olympia-winning father.
The 25-year-old is following in his father’s footsteps by making good strides in the fitness fraternity. His recent squat workout session was a testament to his love for gym drills, which impressed the fans.

Joseph Baena took to his Instagram and wrote, “Squats felt decent, so had to get the clinking and clankin for da bois!!!” He posted alongside a selfie and a small clip of him doing the squats. In the clip, Baena was lifting a heavyweight barbell while doing squats on what seemed like a rooftop of a building. The clinking and clanking of the barbell were clearly audible.
This isn’t the first time he has shared his workout videos online. He had previously shared a video about training the chesticles, doing the inclined BB bench press, flat bench press, etc. Besides bodybuilding, Baena possesses a variety of talents that include being a fitness model and trainee in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
He has also been featured on the cover of Men’s Health magazine, and not unlike his father, made his foray into the acting industry. However, Baena still keeps his fans updated almost regularly with his workout routines, and they always seem to be impressed with him.
Bodybuilding fans can’t have enough of Baena’s workout videos
Here’s how some of the fans reacted to Baena’s squat workout:
“Genetics of Master Arnold”, wrote a fan, which was clearly meant as a huge compliment given the achievements of his father Arnold Schwarzenegger in bodybuilding.
“What a bada** place to train. Rooftop, steel plates singing in the mountain valley”, wrote another fan expressing his admiration for the scenic backdrop where Baena was working out. It was definitely a far cry from the enclosed view of a gym.
“Hurry Up we need a new T800″, wrote someone making a Terminator reference. While Terminator was a film that shot Schwarzenegger to Hollywood A-list, Baena could also find some role like that.

“Legs!!” wrote another fan with an emoji with heart-shaped eyes, followed by a series of fire emojis. It would be hard to disagree, as Baena’s leg muscles were a result of back and front squats.
