Joseph Baena, Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, is excelling in several areas like his father, including bodybuilding, and his workout videos remind his fans of his father.

The youngest son of the Austrian Oak posted a new workout video on his Instagram, revealing his favorite back exercise.

Baena started the video by flexing his back muscles and talked about his favorite back movements in the caption as:

“Build a better back. Pull / back day has always been my favorite. The back can handle a lot of weight, so I always think that the best thing is to keep it simple but also keep it intense”.

The list of workouts he was seen doing is:

• 50 Pull-ups
• T bar row 4x8-10
• Behind the neck, lap pull-down 3x10
• Single arm row 3x8-10 each side
• Neutral grip pull-down 3x10
• Pull-overs (Not pictured) 3x10-12.

Interestingly, the 28-year-old fitness influencer has already revealed the workout he likes to do as a back-day finisher in 2 years.

On June 18, 2024, the son of the seven-time Mr. Olympia posted a short video on his Instagram after finishing a back workout, where he wrote, “Love finishing off a good back workout with burnouts on the pull-up bar”.

He also added, “When in doubt, always stick with the basics!”

However, his interest in fitness did not start with bodybuilding alone, as Joe Baena has previously revealed how another sport helped him transform.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son reflects on the sport that helped his weight loss journey

Before being praised for his gym routine and physique, Baena struggled with being overweight.

At 27, Joseph opened up about the difficulties that he faced during his high school years. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he revealed that people often forget his struggles with obesity. He was cut from the basketball and soccer teams, but eventually found a place in the swimming, which eventually pushed him towards fitness.

That exposure to training helped him pursue a challenging pursuit in October 2023, when he competed in his first triathlon. After that, Joseph said, “What a great experience it was to compete with such amazing athletes”.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son's journey tells a broader message: transformation often begins with small steps.
