Arnold Schwarzenegger is the most celebrated bodybuilder of all time. The 76-year-old started lifting weights in teens to become the ultimate bodybuilding champion. But his hard work and mindset catapulted not just him but the sport’s destiny as well. The Pumping Iron documentary of Arnie brought bodybuilding into the mainstream. Now, his 26-year-old son is carrying forward his legacy.

Joseph Baena, who impresses his huge online following with his bodybuilding physique, has the latest update. The Bully High actor flexed his hard-earned gains in an Instagram video, and the bodybuilding world hit the respect button for his discipline.

Unlike others, Arnold Schwarzenegger chose bodybuilding when it is not as remunerative as the other sports. But his passion was in training at the gym. At 20, he became Mr. Universe and earned seven Mr. Olympia titles before retiring from the competitive arena. However, in his late seventies, Schwarzenegger hit his iconic poses only in the bathroom because his body lost all the bodybuilding aura with age.
