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.

# Dumbbell Bench Press
The dumbbell press on the flat bench — a deeper, freer pressing arc than
the bar, one weight in each hand.
- **Category:** Main circuit
- **Type:** Free-weight horizontal press (dumbbells)
- **Targets:** Chest, front delts, triceps
- **Prescription:** 3 × 812
## Setup
Sit with the dumbbells on your thighs, then lie back and kick them up to
straight arms over the shoulders. Feet flat, shoulder blades pinched.
## Execution
1. Lower both dumbbells to the outside of the chest, elbows about 45°
from the body.
2. Reach a comfortable stretch — deeper than a bar allows.
3. Press back up and slightly together to lockout.
## Cues
- The dumbbells travel in a shallow A-shape, not straight lines.
- Keep the wrists neutral and stacked over the elbows.
- Lower slowly; the stretch is where dumbbells earn their keep.
## Common Mistakes
- Clanging the weights together at the top.
- Uneven pressing — one side racing ahead.
- Dropping the dumbbells from lockout instead of walking them down.
## Progression
Add weight while both sides press evenly; pause reps in the stretch
position.
