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.

# Lunge
The split-stance squat — drop the back knee toward the floor, then drive
back up through the front heel. Bodyweight first, dumbbells in hand later.
- **Category:** Main circuit
- **Type:** Split-stance squat (bodyweight or dumbbells)
- **Targets:** Quadriceps, glutes, balance
- **Prescription:** 3 × 810 per side
## Setup
Take a long step so both knees can bend to 90° — front shin vertical,
back heel up. Hips square to the front, hands at your sides or on hips.
## Execution
1. Lower straight down until the back knee hovers just above the floor.
2. The front knee stays over the mid-foot, torso upright.
3. Drive through the front heel to come back up. Finish the set, then
switch sides.
## Cues
- Down like an elevator, not forward like a slide.
- Front heel carries the work; the back leg balances.
- Squeeze the front glute to stand up.
## Common Mistakes
- Stance too short — the front knee shoots past the toes.
- Torso pitching forward on the way up.
- Pushing off the back foot instead of the front heel.
## Progression
Hold a dumbbell in each hand; step backward into each rep (reverse lunge)
or elevate the back foot for a split squat.
