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.

Goblet Squat

The dumbbell squat — hold one dumbbell vertically at the chest and squat between the heels. The friendliest way to load a squat.

  • Category: Main circuit
  • Type: Free-weight squat (dumbbell)
  • Targets: Quadriceps, glutes, trunk
  • Prescription: 3 × 1012

Setup

Hold a dumbbell vertically against your chest, both palms cupping the top end, elbows pointing down. Feet shoulder-width, toes slightly out.

Execution

  1. Squat down between the heels, keeping the dumbbell glued to the chest.
  2. Reach full depth — elbows travel inside the knees.
  3. Stand back up tall without letting the weight tip you forward.

Cues

  • The counterweight in front lets the torso stay very upright — use it.
  • Elbows brush the inside of the knees at the bottom.
  • Whole foot planted; drive through the heels.

Common Mistakes

  • Letting the dumbbell drift away from the chest.
  • Cutting depth short.
  • Collapsing the upper back as the weight gets heavy.

Progression

Heavier dumbbells until they're awkward to hold — then move to the Barbell Squat.
