Kettlebell "Repeat twice" meaning in this program

[Bauer]

I have a question regarding this StrongFirst plan and the way it is framed:



Session A: (2,4,6) 10 RM weight
Session B: (2,4,6) 4 kg lighter

Louka says to repeat this A/B sequence twice while the visual says "2x". From a German perspective, this information is different:

• "2x" would mean for me to do it twice overall
• "Repeat twice" would mean for me to do it three times overall.

So, does each step consist of 4 sessions or 6 sessions? I understand it as 4 sessions per step.

Maybe some native speakers could clarify. Thanks!

I think 2x means Twice Overall.

While there is the same ambiguity in English, I think the intended meaning is clearly to DO the sequence two times.

I am a secondary school English teacher in the US, and I wish my students paid this much attention to semantic precision.

Thank you, Steve!

It means if you train 3x a week

Session A
Session B
Session A (repeat with the same volume as last time)

Session B (repeat with the same volume as last time)
Session A (add a set from last session)
Session B (add a set from last session)

I'm pretty sure you can try and contact Louka for the answer but I'd go with what Mark said if I was to make an educated guess.

I just think that when he said repeat twice it was a "tongue slip" and he just meant to do the A/B twice. I understand it as 4 sessions before adding a ladder.

That is weird, I thought he meant the normal day and the light day when he said that. Then I wondered why the program only had 8 sessions in it and guessed that I was only suppose to run it twice a week to make it last for 4 weeks.

I understand it as a 16 session program. 4 sessions (A/B/A/B) of 2 ladders, 4 of 3, 4 of 4 and then 4 of 5.
