Joseph Baena certainly took on two of the passions that helped make his famous father a superstar
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Baena followed in his father’s footsteps with his love of bodybuilding and acting.
And on Friday, the real estate agent, fitness model and DJ put on a show at Venice Beach’s Gold’s Gym by striking a few poses in front of the camera that he shared on his Instagram page.
One showed him flexing his bulging biceps and massive leg muscles in what is considered a classic bodybuilding move.
“Oh hey look a traffic cone!” he joked in the caption, in reference to the orange cone to his right by the stairs.

In the cover photo, the Los Angeles native can be seen sucking his belly in as he shows off the results of all the hard work he puts in at the gym.
For the impromptu shoot, Baena went shirtless, opting to wear only a pair of skimpy black track shorts and black and white checkered sneakers with socks.
The exercise enthusiast was also photographed doing a mock jump rope routine, still flexing his leg muscles.
Baena usually uses his Instagram page to share pictures of himself working out or bowing for the camera.
Sometimes he and his father team up for a workout at that same Gold’s Gym, which Schwarzenegger helped make famous after he arrived in the US in October 1968, when he was just 21.
Many people in the health, fitness, and bodybuilding world credit the combination of Schwarzenegger, 75, and Gold’s Gym for putting mainstream fitness on the map in the 1970s.
The Terminator star was inducted into the Gold’s Gym Hall Of Fame in the 50th anniversary celebration at the company’s Dallas convention in 2015.
“When I first came to America, I went to Gold’s Gym before I even moved into my first apartment. Gold’s Gym became my home. It was like a family to me,” Schwarzenegger, 75, said during his speech Club industry.
He added, “Physical fitness wasn’t mainstream at the time, but look what we’ve achieved in these 50 years. Now everyone is exercising. Remember, you are all part of the fitness campaign we started 50 years ago.”
