Joseph Baena has been following in his famous father’s footsteps in the gym, and now he’s doing the same in the movie industry. In a new Instagram post, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son shows off his impressive guns while also teasing his new project, an action movie entitled Called to Duty in which he appears to play a fighter pilot.
It’s fortuitously timed, given the current rush of nostalgia for dogfight movies with the release of Top Gun: Maverick, but what really stand out in this carousel of photos are Baena’s enormous biceps. It certainly seems that the actor, 24, has been stepping up his training as he continues to pursue a career on-screen.
Baena is a fan of high-volume workouts, especially when it comes to arm day, and his go-to routine doubles up on bi-and-tri torching exercises, with supersets of EZ bar skullcrushers with close grip bench press, and rope cable curls with rope tricep pushdowns.
“One of the big things I learned from Dad was not to have the ten-rep mentality,” Baena told Men’s Health. “It’s pushing yourself to the limits and going that extra mile, getting those extra reps and half reps till you’re basically dying.”
He credits his dad’s book, The Encylopaedia of Modern Bodybuilding, with teaching him everything he needed to know about building strength and muscle—although it also doesn’t hurt that he works out with Schwarzenegger at the bodybuilding mecca Gold’s Gym on a regular basis, calling him “the best training partner in the world.”
