Arnold Schwarzenegger is training his lookalike son in bodybuilding

Terminator 2

Arnold Schwarzenegger had it all in his day.

The looks, the attitude and the freaky genetics which gave him a platform to become one of the greatest bodybuilders that ever lived.

The Terminator star and seven-time Mr Olympia champion ruled the world.

With the Austrian Oak now pushing 70, it wasn’t going to be long before the world’s attention turned to his offspring to see if Schwarzenegger’s legacy would live on.

We saw a video of Arnie putting his son Patrick through his pace on his 22nd birthday – but now photos have emerged of the Hollywood action hero training with his other son Joseph Baena.

Although Joseph doesn’t bear the famous Schwarzenegger name, he’s a dead ringer for his old man.

The 18-year-old looks like Arnie did in his prime – particularly when he starred in Conan the Barbarian in 1982 – two years after he won his final Mr Olympia crown.

He’s certainly got the looks, but many fans will wonder whether Joseph has the same genetics as his father that saw him forge one of the greatest physiques the world has ever seen.

While it’s not clear how far the teenage will go with his bodybuilding training, you couldn’t ask for a better coach.

It was reported in TMZ that Schwarzenegger has been working it out with his teenage son who bears a striking resemblance to his father.

But the 18-year-old isn’t just about the muscles, with his father reportedly bragging that “Joseph’s pulling straight A’s”.
