Arnold Schwarzenegger\u00a0<\/strong>is providing guidance to one of his sons. Joseph Baena<\/a>, Schwarzenegger’s youngest son, is pursuing bodybuilding and is participating in his first show. Luckily, Baena has the best guidance in the world and has turned to his dad for some orientation.<\/p>\n

In photos shared on his social media, Baena is seen training and lifting weights, with Schwarzenegger<\/a> looking on and providing guidance from the sidelines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Baena<\/a> is seen wearing a tight black tank top and some red shorts, showcasing his strong build and his prominent muscles. Schwarzenegger is wearing all black, wearing a t-shirt and pants, showcasing his white beard and his brown hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You have to shock the muscles!\u201d Baena captioned the post, referencing Schwarzenegger’s advice.<\/p>\n

The photos were taken at Gold’s Gym, Schwarzenegger<\/a>‘s beloved gym, which he had a hand in transforming into one of the meccas of bodybuilding. Baena’s relationship with the gym dates back years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so nervous,\u201d he said of his first time going to the gym in an older interview with Men’s Health.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cI was being observant, trying to see what he was doing and the way he was acting.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to acquire a bodybuilding mentality\u2014that I could shape my body however I want,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

Joseph Baena<\/a> is 28 years old and has been pursuing a bodybuilding journey for years, often sharing videos and photos of his time in the gym.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He revealed that he began working out as a teen thanks to his father’s influence, with Schwarzenegger giving him a copy of “The Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding<\/strong>,” a book he co-wrote. In an interview with Men’s Health, Baena revealed that he’s incredibly diligent with his fitness, lifting weights around 6 times a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“One of the big things I learned from Dad was not to have the ten-rep mentality,” he said. “It\u2019s pushing yourself to the limits and going that extra mile, getting those extra reps and half-reps till you\u2019re basically dying.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Baena<\/a> is competing in his first bodybuilding competition on April 5th at the NPC Natural Colorado State championships.\u00a0<\/p>\n
