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

# 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 × 8–12
|
||
|
||
## 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.
