7x Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 6′2″ Jacked Son Avoided Working Out With a Bodybuilding Giant for Years, Fearing the Obvious

Joseph Baena, the son of bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been making waves in the fitness world with his exceptional physique and impressive acting. However, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the aspiring bodybuilder, as he was once conscious about his size. Recently, he revealed a comical incident that occurred in 2019 when he was hesitant to collaborate with fellow bodybuilder Alex Mokshyn due to the significant difference in their size and muscularity.

In a recent video posted on Alex Mokshyn’s YouTube channel, viewers were treated to a special shoulder workout featuring both Joseph Baena and Mokshyn. However, the video was supposed to come out four years back.

A time when Arnold Schwarzenegger’s youngest son had some doubts  

At the beginning of the video, an amusing segment takes place where Alex jokingly reminds Joseph about their encounter in 2019. Mokshyn revealed that he asked Baena for a similar collaboration back in that year, as well. But the offer was rejected by the Terminator’s son.

The mere remembrance of the incident delighted Baena, and he admitted that it was true with a lighthearted laugh. Joseph revealed that he was initially hesitant about working out with Alex because he felt he didn’t have the size and muscle development four years back. He said that in 2019, he wasn’t as confident about his physique and didn’t want to appear too small in front of the camera.

“I think I was just a little nervous because he has the size, he has the shape, and I said I don’t know I don’t want to look too small next to a guy like this, So I wasn’t ready,” Baena said. However, his dedication to bodybuilding has paid off since then, as he has made significant progress, and even his father’s colleague has approved it. 

Joseph Baena has made substantial progress

While Baena may have had some concerns about his physique back in 2019, he has come a long way since then. The Hollywood actor left many experienced athletes astounded with his incredible strength and endurance. One recent example of this was his workout session with Brett Azar, a former colleague of his father from the Terminator movies. Azar recently trained alongside Joseph Baena and was so impressed by his strength and dedication that he took to social media to share their workout session.

Azar posted pictures of himself performing the cable crossover exercise, with Joseph cheering him on in the background. In the caption, he applauded Joseph’s commitment to his training, describing him as a “beast.” As Baena continues to train and refine his physique, it’s clear that he is creating his own legacy in the fitness world.
