75th Anniversary of Muscle Beach Venice
by Joe Wheatley, promoter of Muscle Beach Venice

It all started in 1934 when a group of health and fitness pioneers brought fame to Santa Monica Muscle Beach with their feats of weightlifting, strength and gymnastics. In 2009, Muscle Beach Venice marks the 75th Anniversary of the world renown home of bodybuilding.

This historic occasion will be celebrated on July 4th 2009 at the Mr. & Ms. Muscle Beach Bodybuilding, Figure and Bikini Competition. Icons from the industry including Hall of Fame Inductees will be on hand with City of Los Angels Officials to recognize this great history.

Bodybuilding.com, Muscletech and Ironman Magazine are three of the main sponsors of this event.

Yes, Muscle Beach Venice is kind of the birthplace of the physical fitness boom, although I think the original was just called Muscle Beach and located in Santa Monica. This is a nice video of Venice Beach in the 70s below I believe.
