Joseph Baena is following in his father’s footsteps and has been deemed phenomenal already.

Recently, the 27-year-old has been sharing physique updates that have left every bodybuilding fan jaw-dropped.

Baena’s Christmas Day post has certainly shocked the bodybuilding world. Sharing shirtless photos on his Instagram timeline, he uploaded pictures flexing his chest, chiseled abs, and overall physique, with a caption that read, “Looks like Christmas came early this year! 260lbs lean just in time for the holidays.”

Just a few days ago, the aspiring actor reflected on his journey, explaining how he found comfort in sports, swimming, and physical activities, “People sometimes forget that I used to be chubby in high school. I got cut from my basketball and soccer teams because I couldn’t keep up with the other kids.

Now a fitness model and actor, Baena was a chubby individual in his school days and was often called out for it. In the post, the 27-year-old explained that he was cut from basketball tryouts, after which swimming became a turning point.

“Swim didn’t have tryouts, thankfully, and completely changed my life forever,” Baena shared. He certainly came a long way from being overweight to becoming jacked like his father. His Christmas post even got people calling him the next “Terminator.”
