Not a stupid question.
RBE stands for the Repeated Bout Effect. It is a term used to describe the adaptive process that makes muscle tissue less sensitive to being loaded or "trained". Part of the RBE happens after the very first bout. Other effects are slower in coming but can also last a fairly long time.
Strategic Deconditioning (SD) is often talked about in the same sentance as RBE. SD is used to try to reduce some of the RBE so that our training becomes more effective, if only temporarily.
