The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

On Thursday, Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son Joseph Baena gave his Instagram followers a look at the results of his hard work in the gym, showing how closely he resembles his famous father.

“Another day in the office 📈” Baena, 26, wrote. 

In the photos, Baena is wearing nothing but a pair of black shorts and checkered Vans sneakers. He flexes his muscles in a series of poses and fans couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to his father’s iconic photos taken right after Schwarzenegger, 76, won Mr. Olympia for the sixth straight time in 1975.

“Got those poses down. Like father, like son,” one person commented while another follower joked, “Anyone ever tell you, you kinda look like a young Arnold Schwarzenegger? Look him up if you don’t know.”

This isn’t the first time that fans have noticed over the pair’s striking resemblance.

Baena — who is Schwarzenegger’s son with Mildred Baena, his former housekeeper with whom he had an affair — often shares his fitness regimen and progress on Instagram.

Last month, Baena was the spitting image of his father as he paid a visit to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum, located in Schwarzenegger's hometown of Thal, Styria, Austria.

In the first photo shared on Instagram, he grinned as he lifted a dumbbell while surrounded by various photos of his famous dad during the latter's bodybuilder days.

In one photo, Baena took off his shirt to recreate a shirtless profile pose from a statue made in the likeness of his dad outside of the museum.

"It’s not a trip to Austria without visiting the @arnoldschwarzeneggermuseum right?" Baena captioned the post.
