Joseph Baena<\/a>, the youngest son of \u201cTerminator\u201d star Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>, placed in the top five of his first professional bodybuilding competition on Saturday.<\/p>\n Baena, 29, posted video<\/a> of his fifth-place posing routine in the INBA PNBA Pro\/Am World Cup in El Segundo to Instagram. He also posted photos<\/a> documenting life behind the scenes at a bodybuilding contest and the tricks competitors use on stage to stand out in front of judges.<\/p>\n \u201cThe posing routine is my favorite part of the whole process. The artistry aspect of bodybuilding is what I think makes the sports so great. Building your body up to be statue like and choreographing a routine that emulates and shows the aesthetic and beauty of the body,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n The International Natural Bodybuilding Assn. and the Professional Natural Bodybuilding Assn. put on the contest. Baena competes in natural body building, in contrast with his father, a seven-time Mr. Olympia who has spoken about his use of steroids. <\/p>\n Baena, the son of Schwarzenegger<\/a>, 79, and Mildred Baena, has regularly trained with his father at Gold\u2019s Gym in Venice Beach. <\/p>\n Baena made his amateur debut at the National Physique Committee Natural Colorado State Championships in March, winning first place in three categories: Men\u2019s Open Bodybuilding Heavyweight, Men\u2019s Classic Physique True Novice and Men\u2019s Classic Physique Novice. <\/p>\n In April, he came in first in the Classic Physique division at the Corona at the International Natural Bodybuilding Assn. Iron Gladiator competition. He received his pro card with that appearance, allowing him to compete for the Professional Natural Bodybuilding Assn. Natural Olympia, the competition that corresponds to his father\u2019s famous titles.<\/p>\n In addition to his work as a luxury real estate agent, Baena competed on Season 31<\/a> of \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d in 2022 and was eliminated five weeks into the season, placing 11th. He also posts foody content<\/a> to his YouTube profile.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
