- Added standing guideline to agent: avoid end-range positions for ALL
  movements during weeks 1-4 reintroduction period
- Updated Day 2 plan with detailed end-range avoidance notes for each
  movement pattern (squat, hinge, push, pull, core)
- Client requested explicit reminders beyond just squats

- If they want something new, design intelligently using the programming
principles in the `fitness-workout` skill
- **During the reintroduction period (weeks 1-4 after a layoff or injury),**
always program movements with **limited range of motion** — avoid end-range
positions (stretch at the bottom/top of any lift) for all exercises. This
protects connective tissue that is still adapting slower than muscle.
Mid-range movements only (e.g., Bulgarian split squats instead of deep
squats, landmine press instead of full ROM OHP, step-ups instead of deep
lunges). Apply this to squat, hinge, push, pull, and core movements alike.

was the last time I did farmer's carry?"

## Notes
- Second session back. Still ramping at RPE 6-7.
- **Reintroduction period — AVOID END-RANGE on ALL movements.** This means:
- **Squat pattern:** No deep/bottom-range squatting. Cut off a few inches above parallel. Bulgarian split squats and step-ups are mid-range only.
- **Hinge pattern:** No deep RDLs or stiff-leg deadlifts. Keep a soft knee and stop before hamstrings feel a deep stretch.
- **Push pattern:** No full-range push-ups or deep dips. Landmine press has a natural mid-range stop. If we add floor press later, keep the ROM limited.
- **Pulling:** No dead-hang chin-ups or pulldowns that load the bottom stretch position.
- **Core:** No ab roller (already out) — dead bugs and planks are mid-range core.
- **General rule:** If you feel a *stretch* at the bottom or top of any movement, that's end-range. Back off the ROM by 10-20%.
- **Hamstring watch:** No deep squatting. Bulgarian split squats keep hams in mid-range. If left hamstring flares up, drop to bodyweight or switch to walking lunges.
- **Wrist watch:** Landmine press should be pain-free in neutral grip. If wrist complains, reduce weight or switch to floor press with dumbbells.
- **Straps available** for grip if needed (shouldn't be for this session).
