I always use "first measure of [C]," "second measure of [C]", etc.,
which is unambiguous.
And contra Johannes, the "before" indications are always unambiguous.
There's no possible confusion about what measure "three before [C]"
refers to.

"Go from 4 bars before [C]".
You come from a different music culture. Where I play people never
agree on what 4 bars after C means. Do you count C as 1, or 0?

Good point -- when I'm leading a rehearsal I always say "Count with
me, counting C as measure 1, then 2, 3, 4, 5 is where we'll
start." If anybody gets that wrong, they're obviously not the
brightest bulb on the porch.
