Joseph Baena, son of 7X Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been working out for quite a while now. Inheriting the amazing genes of a bodybuilding legend, Baena has built an amazing physique over the years and is always proud to flaunt it. 

Baena maintains an active social media presence as well, where he shares his physique updates training clips, and pictures with his fans. Quite recently, though, Baena shared a slightly different type of video with his fans. As he trained chest with his workout buddies, he made a hilarious video where he went super heavy which amazed the rest of the crew. 

Joseph Baena’s heavy bench session with his friends

While exercise preference is a subjective topic for every individual, one can not deny the huge amount of respect that ‘bench press’ has earned for itself over the years. Every lifter dreams of hitting a 225-pound bench press at least once in his life. Making a funny video during their chest training session, Baena and company recorded a funny video where Baena asked his friends to “put 585 out for starters.” Amazed by this, his friend Roger expressed his disbelief over the incident. 

His other friend, Leo Mayrhofer, who was curling dumbbells in the background, also appeared shocked. The hilarious video recorded by the trio made the fans laugh too. In the caption of the post, Baena wrote, “Don’t you wanna stretch and warm up first?”

Inheriting his genes from Arnold, Joseph believes that one shall always use their genetics to the fullest. However, he believes that even if you think you are not gifted, putting in extra work will do no harm. 

Baena’s views on genetics and bodybuilding

While working out with Mike O’Hearn recently at the Gold’s Gym, Venice, the duo trained arms together. Amidst many other topics that the duo discussed, at one point, O’Hearn asked Baena if he thought replicating someone’s training would result in the same outcome. Baena cleverly replied to this by stating that even if it does not, there’s no harm in trying. 

Baena stated, “You know, maybe this person just has good genetics for that particular body part. But if they’re able to use the genetics and grow it to the maximum, why not implement those same exercises that they’re using?”
