What you can learn from ditching the barbell and training with dumbbells for a month.

Think dumbbells aren\u2019t enough? That you couldn\u2019t possibly achieve your fitness goals with just a pair of dumbbells?

Dumbbells aren't as \u201ccool.\u201d

You can\u2019t lift as heavy with them.

Wouldn\u2019t using just a pair of dumbbells for training get\u2026 boring?


We get it. People often underestimate what a pair of dumbbells can do for their fitness and consistency. Using only a single pair of dumbbells just doesn\u2019t seem like it would be enough for anything.\xa0

MOST SP members already know where we are going with this, but let's talk some barbell vs. dumbbell facts for anyone who thinks that dumbbells aren't enough for the kind of training YOU need.

The versatility of a pair of dumbbells is hard to surpass as a training tool. In fact, you can achieve a very high level of strength, endurance, stamina, and coordination by only ever using dumbbells.\xa0

At Street Parking we believe this wholeheartedly, which is why for the month of April, the coaches, team, and community puts our \u201cmoney where our mouth is\u201d and shows that we believe in our message and program by only using dumbbells for the ENTIRE month.\xa0


We call it \u201cProject April,\u201d an unofficial, yearly challenge for anyone to build confidence in believing that if all you EVER had was a pair of dumbbells, it ABSOLUTELY would be enough.\xa0
