It’s no secret that the youngest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger shares his father’s love for fitness and bodybuilding. In fact, the 25-year-old seems more serious about building a stunning physique than he ever had. Gifted with his father’s genetics, Joseph Baena has made significant gains in the gym. While Baena is trying out modern training methods, he is also taking inspiration from his father and utilizing old-school exercises. 

In his latest Instagram post, the young actor posted a picture while hitting one of the eight mandatory bodybuilding poses. “Gotta hit the pose between sets!” wrote Baena, and fans flocked to the comments section to write their opinion on the gains he is making.

Earlier, the actor and bodybuilding enthusiast took to Instagram and posted a picture of himself hitting the side-chest pose. While he didn’t mention where he was working out, the 25-year-old was at an outdoor gym, working out under the sun. While Baena hit the side-chest pose, he had a gym vest on. Hence, his chest gains weren’t visible in the picture.

However, the photograph showed his arm and shoulder gains. While hitting the pose, the actor revealed his striated deltoids, ripped biceps, and forearms. However, something many might miss is how Baena has incorporated another one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s techniques into his workout routine.

In his BluePrint to Cut, Arnold Schwarzenegger explained, “posing is so much part of training.” He added “that you should never do an exercise without hitting a pose right afterwards.” the seven-time Mr. Olympia revealed that the more someone poses after each exercise, the more muscle control they’ll have on stage. While Joseph Baena doesn’t plan to compete, he still follows Schwarzenegger’s advice.
