Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son, Joseph Baena, is celebrating another exciting win at the INBA’s Iron Gladiator competition in California.
Baena, 38, is following in the footsteps of Schwarzenegger, 78, an actor, businessman, and former California governor, known for roles in films like Terminator, True Lies, and Kindergarten Cop. Before all that, Schwarzenegger got his start as a bodybuilder, and the legendary Austrian is carrying on his legacy with his son, whom he shares with former household staffer Mildred Patricia “Patty” Baena. (He also has four children, Patrick, Katherine, Christopher, and Christina, with his ex-wife Maria Shriver.)
In a post showing Baena standing on stage in a black Speedo and brandishing a sword, the tanned bodybuilder smiled brightly as he celebrated his win.
“Your new INBA Iron Gladiator Classic Physique Champion!” the caption read.
Do Schwarzenegger and Baena Regularly Work Out Together?
Yes! Recently, the duo hit the gym together as Baena prepped for his competition.
“You have to shock the muscles!” Baena captioned the photos, clearly implying that the quote was something his father said to him as they lifted heavy barbells together in the gym.
What’s the Duo’s Workout Regimen Like?
Last year, Baena joined his father on the red carpet at the FUBAR premiere and opened up about hitting the gym together.
“He busts my balls if I’m not there at 7 a.m. He’s there every day. I’m there every day, or I try to be there every day. But yeah, we train together. We love working out together. He’s a great training partner,” Baena told Entertainment Tonight.
When asked if he’d ever portray his famous father onscreen, Baena went on to say that “it would be a great honor. Again, he’s a huge role model. He’s my dad. I would love to do justice to any role that takes to be him.”
