“Never Take Steroids”: Bodybuilding World Alarms Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son as He Shows Off Ripped Body at 25

Joseph Baena, the son of bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, shares many things in common with his father. Besides looking like his father, one of the most striking similarities between the two is their love for exercise. Baena is blessed with his legendary bodybuilder father’s elite genetics. While he doesn’t do bodybuilding professionally, the seven-time Mr. Olympia’s 25-year-old son has built an impressive physique. The young actor who wants to achieve a superhero physique often posts progress updates on Instagram.

Recently the former Mr. Universe’s son posted two photos on Instagram. The 25-year-old posed shirtless in the pictures and looked ripped. While the photo garnered praise from his fans, some concerned fans raised a few alarms.

The spitting image of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger

While his father inspired him, Joseph Baena developed a love for exercising on his own. In fact, Baena has been working out in the gym for years. Lately, the aspiring actor has taken both acting and bodybuilding more seriously. In a recent interview, Baena revealed he has been working hard in the gym to achieve the superhero look.

While he doesn’t want to get as big as his father was during his bodybuilding days, Baena is steadily making progress. Last month the young actor also did a live workout session for his Instagram followers. It seems Baena’s hard work in the gym is paying off because he looks ripped in his latest physique update photos. In the first photo, the 25-year-old showed off his triceps gains.

In the second photo, Baena was in the middle of doing tricep pulldowns. “Gotta check the horse shoe every so often,” wrote Baena in the caption, alluding to the shape of the tricep muscle. Fans seemed mighty impressed. They also pointed out how much he looked like a young Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, some requested him to stay away from steroids.

Bodybuilding fans voiced their opinions

Some fans praised the bodybuilding icon’s son:

“You are your father’s son.”

“Why he look like young Arnold???!”

“You are doing great Joe.”

Others asked Joseph Baena to stay natural:

“Never take steroids. Keep that natural and proud look.”

“If Arnold stayed Natty.”

“Stay Natural please.”

“Natty.”

“Imagine having Arnold’s chest genetics…’

However, one fan saw nothing wrong with using exogenous hormones as long as Baena did it carefully. “Buddy, get on it, u got the genetics win some real shows!!! Just dont over do it!!” he wrote.
