Has anyone heard of this test in the gym? It is when you lay down on your belly. Get a barbell with 45s on it. Try to roll the bar from feet side to see if it touches your butt.

    LOL! No I haven't, must try with all these damn squats I do!
    How many Ladies out there have done and passed the pencil test? Place a pencil under your breast and if it falls to the ground no worries, you still have plenty of perkiness! :stuck_out_tongue:

    I must be a dunce because my mind can not fathom how this is supposed to work/look or what it proves.

    Someone else has to roll the bar so you do need a spotter.

    Ah ha!

    The bar would totally not make it past my butt. Only because my belly would be raising me up so much though.

    Aren't standard plates 8.5" off the floor approximately? I suppose you could just measure your glutes without doing this. I can't imagine that most people glutes would fit under that. Don't think mine would.

    So...if it touches your butt, would that be good or bad? Hypothetically.

    Huh? Why do this? I know I don't want a flat butt, I can tell you that much. If the thing rolled over without touching my @$$, I would consider myself a fail. That would suck.

    Pencil test, hell, I'm 46 years old and a D cup, what do you think. :P

    Hopefully that posts right.

    Also, thank goodness this was the first thing that came up. Googling "The Butt Test" from work may not have been my wisest decision ever.

    So this test does not involve balancing a champagne glass on your tush?

    Can't I just look in the mirror and say "needs work" or "this'll do"? This seems a waste of good barbell.
