Schwarzenegger, 79, has been closely involved in Baena&#8217;s bodybuilding journey, offering training advice and helping him refine his posing at the legendary Gold&#8217;s Gym in Venice Beach.<\/p>\n<p>Baena previously credited his father with introducing him to the sport&#8217;s fundamentals through a bodybuilding reference book.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My dad gave me the bodybuilding encyclopedia,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;I was flipping through that, trying to learn how to grow the biceps, and I fell in love with weightlifting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked about their workouts together, Baena didn&#8217;t hesitate: &#8220;He&#8217;s the best training partner.
