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. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJDQQDA9QdP8zByg43H5v3

Incline Bench Press
The barbell press on the tilted bench — same press, aimed at the upper chest.
- Category: Main circuit
- Type: Free-weight incline press
- Targets: Upper chest, front delts, triceps
- Prescription: 3 × 8–10
Setup
Set the bench to a moderate incline (around 30–45°). Lie back with the bar over the eyes, shoulder blades set, feet planted.
Execution
- Lower the bar to the upper chest, just below the collarbones.
- Touch lightly, keeping the forearms vertical.
- Press straight up to lockout above the shoulders.
Cues
- The steeper the bench, the more shoulder and less chest.
- Ribcage up, but hips stay on the pad.
- Bar path is a straight vertical line on the incline.
Common Mistakes
- Sliding the bar path out over the belly.
- Overarching to turn it back into a flat press.
- Grip too wide for the shorter incline stroke.
Progression
Work up in weight after the flat Bench Press, not before it; dumbbells on the same bench trade load for range.
