WELCOME TO PROJECT APRIL!!!

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

It's April 1 - And you know what that means... 30 Days - Program A ONLY!

In case you haven't heard - April has become known as #ProjectApril - otherwise known as Program A ONLY April. Last year in April - the Street Parking Staff decided we were going to follow Program A for the entire month. That meant, putting away the barbells for a WHOLE month in order to prove just how effective a pair of dumbbells can really be.

A bunch of you jumped on board.

#ProjectApril was born - and... IT. WAS. AWESOME.

Well, today is officially Day ONE of this Street Parking Tradition so here are a few things you need to know if you are trying to participate in this challenge:

If you are already a Street Parking Member - you don't have to do anything else to participate in the challenge. The goal is just to simply choose the Program A version of the workout (or SHIFT if necessary) for an entire month!
You will still see some movements like KB Swings, Box Jumps, Pull Ups, or Wall Balls in the Program A workouts - BUT we will show subs that require you to only have your dumbbells for those who don't have that other stuff.
Of course - if you are injured or otherwise limited and need to pick a component from another version (for example Program A doesn't include options like rowing or biking), if you choose to use that sub for injury reasons - we totally understand.
There are no points - no prizes (well maybe we might throw something in) and really no rules. This is more of an invitation to challenge YOURSELF to either stop making lack of equipment as an excuse, break the addiction you have to your beloved barbell, or just do something to spice things up or connect with friends!
If you only have 1 set of dumbbells and for certain workouts or movements they are too heavy we will always show as many subs and modifications as we can (e.g. - dumbbell thrusters can be turned into a single dumbbell thruster held with both hands.) - but that is also why you can always choose to do SHIFT instead.
Use #ProjectApril on your social media posts so we can follow your journey! Take some pics or measurements before to track progress. Or, maybe do a post this week saying what you expect to get out of this challenge.
Stay accountable on the FB Group and check in with how others are doing!
Julian and Jeb will be filming some tips to both warm up and mobilize the wrists and forearms since grip can be the number one issue people struggle with when switching to dumbbells - keep your eyes peeled for that in the next few days!
