People associate the name Arnold Schwarzenegger with more than just Hollywood. The fitness and bodybuilding worlds are also associated with Arnie’s name. It brings to mind severed roots, iconic situations, and legacies that span decades. It’s no wonder, then, that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilder son, Joseph Baena, makes waves when he enters a scene.

Recently, in a moment full of deja vu, Joseph Baena was spotted hitting iron at the legendary Gold’s Gym in Venice. Often known as the “Mecca of Bodybuilding”, this iconic fitness center has seen many legends, including Arnold Schwarzenegger himself.

However, Baena’s exercises were no longer the most effective aspect that piqued everyone’s interest. In an Instagram story, Baena showed off traditional bodybuilding poses that his father proudly taught him. The story changed into a hit among health fanatics as Wole Adesemoye, a famous bodybuilder, captured the moment, writing: “@joebaena showed me some of his posing that his father @schwarzenegger, my favorite bodybuilder of all time, taught him.” 

The admiration became palpable, and for many, it became a heartwarming trip down memory lane. It becomes clear that Baena is not just riding the coattails of his famous father; rather, he is carving a niche for himself, embracing his lineage, and honoring the legacy while adding his unique touch to it.
