Joseph Baena’s professional bodybuilding career is off to a swinging start.

Baena, 28, took home first place at the International Natural Bodybuilding Association’s (INBA) Iron Gladiator competition in Southern California.

When asked why he chose to compete through INBA, Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son admitted he was “excited” to show off his hard work.

“[It’s] my second competition ever,” Baena said on social media before the event. “We’re ready for the debut and excited to get things going.”

He added, “They just seem like the most reputable natural federation, and so I wanted to be a part of something like that … I wanted to test them out.

For his Iron Gladiator win, Baena wielded a silver sword and a helmet while posing on stage in black swimwear.

“Time to do it again on Saturday,” he wrote over a flexing image from the stage in Colorado

Schwarzenegger won seven Mr. Olympia titles throughout his bodybuilding career, set a record for six consecutive wins, and was the youngest-ever winner in 1970 when he was 23 years old.

Last week, Baena shared a look at his training regimen with the “Kindergarten Cop” actor coaching him on the sidelines. “You have to shock the muscles!” he captioned a snap with his famous bodybuilder father.

In a video obtained by Fox News Digital, Schwarzenegger carefully adjusted Baena’s positioning to ensure optimal muscle growth.

Baena has been carving out his own path — from acting roles, including the 2024 action thriller “Gunner,” to landing a Men’s Health cover — while navigating inevitable comparisons to his father.

“It’s been a huge growth year of me finding out who I am and really being secure … confident … no matter what the challenges are, what the comparisons are,” Baena previously told Fox News Digital.

Baena added, “The message that I wanted to get across was, there’s a lot of people out there with very accomplished parents … and it’s scary. It’s scary to get compared to these giants and to have the feeling like you need to live up to these expectations.”

Cameraman gets caught risking it all to film World Cup’s ‘sexiest fan’ in the Formula 1 paddock

Published

Sometimes we forget how hard it is to be a cameraman. You’ve got to focus on what you’re supposed to be shooting and block out all other distractions.

Of course, sometimes a little eye candy comes along and slips through the goalie, and that’s what happened to one cameraman — and you’ll see in a second why I’m fairly certain it was a cameraman — working in the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix paddock.

Hey, he’s only human.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

After Friday’s Sprint Qualifying session, UK broadcaster Sky Sports was doing some analysis with 2009 World Champion Jenson Button, former driver Naomi Schiff and presenter Simon Lazenby.

However, their coverage was somewhat interrupted when the cameraman got a little distracted by a certain paddock guest.

I bet a couple of husbands got dirty looks from the missus when they yelled, “Hey, that’s Ivana Knoll!”

That’s right, internet sleuths were quick to identify the 2018 World Cup’s “sexiest fan.”

Which is a heck of a title. Do you realize how many people were at that?!

The cameraman managed to get back on track, although it was probably good that one McLaren mechanic wasn’t handling any power tools when Knoll walked by.

That could’ve been disastrous.

I do think Knoll knew what she was doing. One does not stumble into the title of “sexiest fan.”

That’s not the kind of outfit you usually see in a busy paddock with tools and pieces of cars and big stacks of tires all over the place. But Knoll knew there would be cameras, and dammit, where there’s sports and cameras, there’s “World Cup sexiest fan” Ivana Knoll.

Maybe she’ll get a little more facetime at Sunday’s Grand Prix. It was announced on Saturday night that the race’s start time has been moved up three hours to 1 p.m. ET, in an attempt to avoid inclement weather later in the day.
