Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilder son Joe Baena is crediting his father for his bodybuilding career.
Baena, whom Schwarzenegger welcomed with Mildred Patricia Baena, revealed in a recent conversation gq How his father sparked his interest in bodybuilding after he showed interest in health during college.
“My dad gave me the bodybuilding encyclopedia,” Baena told the outlet.
It is pertinent to mention that Schwarzenegger used to be a professional bodybuilder who got his start in Hollywood.
He added, “I was flipping it, trying to learn how to grow biceps, and I fell in love with weightlifting.” “I fell in love with eating healthy. I fell in love with learning about the body and how it responds to training, and I became very passionate about it.”
But Schwarzenegger’s support didn’t stop there, instead, he hit the gym with Baena and personally trained her.
He was excited to train with his partner. “He’s the best training partner. I don’t know what to say,” he said.
“He pushes me. He makes sure I don’t slack off in the gym. When the carbs go down, and the calories go down and I start getting tired, he cheers me up,” Baena said.
