Joseph Baena, the 25-year-old son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, continues to impress fans of his father with his striking resemblance and dedication to bodybuilding.

Among Schwarzenegger's five children, Baena is the only one who has pursued a similar path in bodybuilding and acting, showcasing his sculpted physique at the renowned Gold's Gym in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.

In a series of photos posted to his social media accounts, Baena makes a stance in the same gym that the famous bodybuilder used to go to after immigrating to the US in 1968.

The fitness model, DJ, and real estate agent can be seen flexing his huge leg muscles and bulging biceps in what is thought to be a classic bodybuilding pose.

He joked in the caption, "Oh hey look a traffic cone," pointing to the orange cone that was positioned to his right, close to the stairs.

Numerous followers of Schwarzenegger rushed to comment on the striking similarity between the father and son team. One user commented: "Look like your dad in his younger days well done."

"When I first came to America, I went to Gold's Gym before I even went to my first apartment. Gold’s Gym became my home. It was like a family to me," Schwarzenegger said at the time, as reported by Club Industry.

He added: "At the time, physical fitness wasn’t mainstream, but look at what we have accomplished in these 50 years. Now everyone is working out. Remember that you all are a part of the fitness crusade that we started 50 years ago."

On the red carpet for his most recent film, Fubar, Baena talked openly about his connection with his father, who had him after an affair with his housekeeper Mildred Baena.

When the young actor first started following in his father's footsteps, what was the "best piece of advice" the "Austrian Oak" had given him?, Extra TV questioned the young actor.

"I mean, just with anything that I do, but especially with acting, he's really supportive and always, you know, pushing me to work really hard, and then make it my own and, and do it on my own," he revealed.

The Bully High actor continued: "But his main piece of advice has always been, do the reps - and it sounds just like the gym - but it really makes sense because it's all about practice, practice, practice. The more that you practice, the more that you prepare for these roles, the better you're going to be, and I've taken that to heart and I've taken that into every role that I've been doing."

Later in the interview, the son said that his father was the finest gym buddy and even admitted that he is now "catching up" to the seven-time Mr. Olympia in the weight room.

"I'm starting to lift a little," he said, "I'm starting to catch up with the weights but, you know, he pushes me so much in the gym and we love training together."

When the reporter questioned which of the two was stronger, Baena responded diplomatically: "Right now, I don't want to say but he'll always be the strongest in the family."
