This journey is awesome but I don’t quite understand one thing - if there is an exercise with 2x dumbbells (for e.g. the dumbbell squat) but coach is telling me that there is one weight without splitting. So for instance an exercise have a pair of weights but it says 10kg. Should I split those 10kg into 2 x 5kg? I guess my problem is - will couch take into account that I had split weight or it’s thinking that it is 2x10kg?

Here it is! > [@What does 2 x \*n\*kg dumbbells mean in a dumbbell session?](https://forum.freeletics.com/t/what-does-2-x-nkg-dumbbells-mean-in-a-dumbbell-session/1227): > > Hey everyone wave:t2 This is coming up a bit now so I just want to make this clear for us all. If you get assigned an exercise that requires 2 x nkg dumbbells, this should be done ideally with 2 dumbbells of the assigned weight. For example, in the below exercise, one would use 2 x 10kg dumbbells. Hope that’s clear! clapclapstatic ---

Thank you for response 🙂 . So if understand clearly I should split 10 kg into 2x5kg because the app sometimes doesn’t do it for me? According to the link you posted I don’t have indicator 2x _n_kg but only _n_kg. ---

Hey @Bujan007 👋🏻 Welcome to the Forum! That’s exactly right-but you don’t have to split the weight here, what is important is just to use that amount of weight. :clapclapstatic: ---
