Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced last Wednesday his development of a new show telling the story of 1980's bodybuilding in Venice Beach. According to Johnson, Muscle Beach follows "a colorful tribe of lost souls struggle to reinvent themselves by bench-pressing their way to a bigger, better American dream, no matter what the cost."

This comes only days after news broke of Arnold Schwarzenegger producing a new (similarly themed) show inspired by his bodybuilding career. The eight episode series, Pump, will tell the story of a group of bodybuilders from Pacific Avenue beachfront gym in the 1970's. "I feel so passionate about this project because today it's easy to take our gyms and culture of fitness for granted, [but] it all started with this wild group of bodybuilders as a tiny subculture in a little dungeon gym in Venice Beach." (Arnold Schwarzenegger)

Chances are only one or the other (if either) will take off. No premiere dates have been released.
