if a page lists reps as 5,4,3,2,1 what exactly does that mean?
specifically http://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/workout-routines/5-week-whole-body-single-kettlebell-workout?day=2
I'm assuming it means 5 on one side then the other then 4 on each etc, but i just want to be sure?

    Wow. That's as poorly written program as I've ever seen. Or maybe there's a page before day one that elaborates but it's really not intuitive.

    My best guess is that you're alternating exercises down in the ladder for each of 3 sets.

    Set 1 is 5 presses followed immediately by 5 pull-ups, followed immediately by 4 presses, 4 pull-ups, 3 3, 2 2, 1 1.

    Rest.

    Sets 2 and 3 are the same as set 1.
