Joe Baena, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, seems to be on a mission to build a physique comparable to his father's, and he may not be too far away from his goal.

On March 8, Baena posted an Instagram video that showcased him performing a few reps of wide-grip behind-the-neck pull-ups. However, also struck a couple of poses with his back to the camera, which caused his toned back muscles to protrude out

The youngest son of the 7-time Mr. Olympia has been compared to his father since he started focusing on bodybuilding during the final phase of his college life.

Baena's post received heaps of praise from fans, where some highlighted that Baena’s back looks just like Arnold's, and others highlighted how he had class-apart genetics.

Baena regularly shares his fitness routine and workout videos with his fans, as he did on December 15, 2025. The video displayed his "Muscle Growth and Endurance" workout split for the entire week. Here are the specifications:

• On Monday, he targets the upper body with one-arm dumbbell rows and a 5-mile run.
• On Tuesday, Baena focuses on lower-body lift with hack squats
• His Wednesdays are dedicated to recovery with a 3-mile jog.
• On Thursday, Baena targets his chest, tricepts and shoulders with chest press and 30 min on the stair master
• Fridays are all about pull with landmine row targeting back and biceps, and 20 min bike
• On Saturday, he focuses on his legs
• And Sunday is also dedicated to recovery with 2000 m swimming.

However, there's more than just workouts that lie at the core of Baena's Schwarzenegger-like physique.
