rzen 7c241ec44c Ship the 47-exercise library in-app: export, fixtures, tests, docs
render.py --export bundles the 25 new motion rigs and info pages;
figure-fixtures.json regenerated for all 47 (the Swift solver reproduces
every new motion, including negative-y pins and the new prop uses). The
fixture count assertion moves to 47, and the no-bundled-motion test now
uses Treadmill - a permanent COVERAGE.md exclusion - since Bench Press
exists. 48 tests green; watch target builds. Coverage handoff complete -
TODO-coverage.md retired.

# Bench Press
The barbell press — lying on the flat bench, lower the bar to the chest
and press it back to straight arms.
- **Category:** Main circuit
- **Type:** Free-weight horizontal press
- **Targets:** Chest, front delts, triceps
- **Prescription:** 4 × 68
## Setup
Lie with eyes under the bar, feet flat on the floor, shoulder blades
pinched back and down. Grip a little wider than shoulder-width and
unrack to straight arms over the shoulders.
## Execution
1. Lower the bar under control to the mid-chest, elbows about 45° from
the body.
2. Touch lightly — no bounce.
3. Press back up and slightly toward the face to lockout over the
shoulders.
## Cues
- Shoulder blades stay pinched against the bench the whole set.
- Wrists stacked over elbows; bar sits low in the palm.
- Feet drive quietly into the floor.
## Common Mistakes
- Bouncing the bar off the chest.
- Elbows flared straight out at 90°.
- Hips lifting off the bench.
## Progression
Add small plates while every rep touches and locks out; a spotter or
safety pins once the loads get honest.
