Arnold Schwarzenegger will produce a series for the folks at American network CBS based around his early days of lifting heavy things over and over again.

The show will be called 'Pump' and will be an hour-long drama that looks to have bagged 8 episodes.

Anyone who has seen the fascinating documentary, Pumping Iron, will have an idea what it'll entail. This won't be Pain and Gain, but very much a show based on the lifestyle of bodybuilders in 1973.

Depending how who Schwarzenegger gets involved creatively, this could be a fascinating show; especially when you compare it to the current craze of Crossfit and the like.
