Thanks a lot Rob, I still have one question though (I´m the guy who asked about measuring myself facing or back against the wall). So just to clear things up, do you think I should go with the back against the wall height. I really hope not because it just doesn´t somehow feel correct at all. Anyway thanks!
[Editor Rob: do you have wooden flooring or tiled flooring anywhere...I'd always check under a different door or room or wall to see if you get different readings.]

hey Rob,my morning height is 186,afternoon 185,and in shoes 188.when people ask me how tall i am,what should i say?
[Editor Rob: I would say 185cm or 6ft 1 to folk.] James says on 20/Mar/10
Rob can the way you sleep effect how much your spine decompresses over night because some mornings i am taller than others.
[Editor Rob: yes sometimes you could be a few mm different, if you manage to sleep on your back for most of the night you should be near your max morning height] 177cmmm says on 20/Mar/10
Rob is you have really long arms compared to your height like im 189-190 and my armspan is 198 does the extra arm length make you weigh more? Its a bit of a silly question but im just wondering. Anonymous says on 19/Mar/10
Rob, How tall is 187.5 cm I hear people say 6'1 1/2 and 6'2, If someone measures in between 187 and 188 cm How tall are they really.
I beleive honestly that 6'2 is a good height, between 6'1- 6'3 si perfect, tall but not too tall, anything 6'4 or over is very tall I think and 6'6 and higehr is extremly tall/ giant, My mate is 200cm exactly- 6'7 and he always gets asked his height and peopel stare at him, When you are 200+ cm that siw hen you get a lot of stares and stuff I think, I think best range is 185-190 but any heigth is ok, we cant control our height so any height is ok really.

Rob do you remember a few years back Johny Wilkinson and David Beckham did that sporting think together. I thought Beckham looked no more than 5'11 next to him. Anonymous says on 18/Mar/10
Yes, It is okt o take your later morning/ midday height because aroudn thsi time I am a strong 187cm I just say 6'2- 188cm, people cant notice 1/4 of inch not really.
Jay If I were you claim your height as 178.5 or 179cm, you could claim 180cm possibly a weak 5'11 like me a weak 6'2 as at 5'10.75 you are as good as that anyway. Anonymous says on 18/Mar/10
yea jayb its amazing. because some people only lose a half inch. a lot of times i'm 5'7.5" by night time rather than 5'7 1/4. but most of the day i am 5'7.75 so i claim 5'8". JayB says on 17/Mar/10
@ Anonymous, I also lose an inch of height throughout the day. In the morning I'm 5'10.75" and at bedtime I'm 5'9.75". I claim 5'10" though because it's my mid-day height. bam says on 17/Mar/10

Rob, I got measured at 187.6cm on a machine, and the screen had my height at 188cm- 6ft2, ticket printed out and it had 187.6 exactly however also had 6'2- 188 as it recognises to round off too 188, I measure anywhere from 186-188, I say 188 as taht si what my Gp said also as I was a good 187cm in the day.
My Height was measured in the Morning, at 10.45am in the forenoon,
Yes it is possible to lose an inch at most due to maybe standing ages, It is jsut gravity, Real height is our morning height- Forenoon etc.

Rob, I would like to ask you: All these VIPs on your site have only 1 height, but is it their morning, day or night height? I ´m sure everyone loses 1 inch/1.5-2 cm from mornimng height to night height. So for example, is Depps or Stallones Height 5´9 their morning or their evening height? Do you consider that you should say not 5´9 but something between 5´8 and 5´10? Thans and nice greetings.

Hi Rob, please help me out, I´m confused. Every time I measure myself with my back against the wall I get an unusually low height versus when I measure myself facing the wall. The difference is as much as 1.5 cm! When measuring myself facing the wall I can actually see exactly what height I´m at so it seems reliable. However because the norm is to be measured back against the wall I´m starting to wonder whether I´m really much shorter than what I had thought. However if I put for instance a box or some other flat object to the mark I´ve gotten when measuring myself back against the wall and I face that box it´s clearly to low and doesn´t reach the top of my head. What do you think is up? I´m almost beginning to think the back of my head is oddly shaped or something. Can´t think of any other explanation. Hope you understand what I´m trying to say here. Thanks a lot!
[Editor Rob: it could be one of a few things. You might not notice but the floor could slope into the wall, so when you have your back against it your heels are nearer the wall then when you face it your heels are further away and higher on the slope.

Rob when looking at a person like brad Pitts height were he is listed as 5.11 he weighed 76kgs in the movie troy he is clearly very buff. How can he be only 76kgs he could look buff at 76kgs at maybe 5.9. How much does an inch of height increase you weight by?
[Editor Rob: maybe 6 pounds or so, of course body proportions change weights. In Troy I remember somebody said he was near 200lbs which is total bunk, I agree with nearer 170] Anonymous says on 17/Mar/10

Rob, I have one more question. I shaved my head about a week ago(seriously) for Basketball, so would the angle still make me appear taller? And thank you for taking the time to answer my questions Rob, I really appreciate it :)

@ Rob.. Do you start feelimg shorter than someone when they've got 2" on you?
Cos up until 1.5" I actually feel nothing. But when it gets to 2" or more I start to feel it. I think this is kind of how wrong a 6'0" person should never claim 6'2" James says on 15/Mar/10
Rob on average is 14-15 the age where males tend to grow the most during puberty? Males like me who started getting major growth spurts at ages like 12-13 are probably early developers and I found that I finished and had my grow spurt quite some time before most of my friends did.
[Editor Rob: I think from 12-14 there's still more growth than 14-15] JayB says on 15/Mar/10
Yeah, it makes sense Rob. But would the angle make you appear shorter or taller?
[Editor Rob: maybe a little taller depending on your hairstyle] James says on 14/Mar/10
Rob I know you can't really grow more at 20 unless your very lucky but I did find that when I lost weight and muscle bulk that I built up at the gym that I stood slightly taller than before if that makes any sense?

Rob, when I wake up I´m 176.7-177 cm and late at night I´m usually 175.3 cm and in some extreme cases 175 cm flat. So do you think I should round my height up slightly and call myself 176 cm? Thanks!
[Editor Rob: personally I would say 175, but you can say 176 if you want. Many people who fall say 1/4 inch over or under a mark might both say the same thing.

Sorry about all the question Rob but this is a bit bizzare- I was at the pub the other day and this 22 year old man was talking to my friend and he said "I used to 6ft 1/2 but because of a quad bike injury I am now only 5'10 1/2." Apprently the guy injured the spondgy tissue in his lower back muscule or something like that.
Do you think its most likely he was exzaggerating the height he was before the accident becauase a 2 inch height loss is extreme esspecially considering he is young.

Hey Rob. I'm confused as to what height I should use for my BMI. I can measure just over 5'9" in the morning, but then I can go as low as 5'8" and a bit, mostly just under the 5'8.25" mark. In terms of BMI, isn't the real height the morning height, and the evening height should be seen as a bodily fault as your spine is being compressed. After all, if you compress anything, it will shrink with a bit of force right?
[Editor Rob: bmi is more of a general measure, not tailored to individuals...] 180max! says on 27/Feb/10
Hi Rob.
I have measured myself in the morning at both 5' 10" exactly and 5' 10.25" on many separate occasions.
Also at night I have measured at both 5' 9.25" and 5' 9.5".
I always use the same method to measure my height.
There is always a 0.75 inch difference between my morning and night heights which I know is typical.
Is it common that some days people can be 0.25" taller overall than other days?
Cheers
[Editor Rob: maybe some days your spine isn't under as much stress or during the day has had time to recover.] Ollie says on 27/Feb/10
Rob, you should put Greg Davies on the list. He is the tallest comedian in the country if not the world. Not many 6ft8 comedians around! JayB says on 27/Feb/10
Rob, if someone were to workout to increase their muscle mass, that is to "bulk up"." Would the weight of their new muscle mass cause them to lose heigh? 177cmmm says on 25/Feb/10

there is one option still out there to appear 5ft 10, that is wear elevators on purpose for photos...it would be interesting considering all the 5ft 8- 5ft11 actors out there...but it would make a lot of friends and folk I know scratch their heads.]
Rob thats a fantastic idea you should do that you would get very accurate readings of those who claim 5 ft 10 or 6 ft
[Editor Rob: but I would get a lot of looks and questions from all the people who know me at these things! I'd end up having to explain it as some sort of shoe promotion related thing.] MD says on 24/Feb/10
Rob,
I'd never thought about your height in terms of getting accurate pictures of celebrity heights, and now you've made me notice that a lot of taller celebs that you've been pictured with do tend to slouch down or tilt their head in pictures with you. J.J. says on 24/Feb/10

Rob what do you mean you would like to be taller for the purposes of this site? Isn't 5'8 a pretty solid height for judging the heights of others, because it falls in the middle area, for an example, if you were 6-2 it would be difficult to judge the heights of very short people and vice versa if you were 5'2.
[Editor Rob: what I mean is that there is more interest in heights of men than women I feel, so if I was 6ft-6ft 2 I would be able to get more taller people standing near their tallest in photos, sometimes I can get that, others I can't...but to be fair I think that doing double shots with a taller actor has worked out ok.
there is one option still out there to appear 5ft 10, that is wear elevators on purpose for photos...it would be interesting considering all the 5ft 8- 5ft11 actors out there...but it would make a lot of friends and folk I know scratch their heads.] JAK says on 23/Feb/10
I'd like to update you on my corrective insoles in relation to my 1cm leg length difference.
It is astounding how much height you lose when you have an imbalance like that. First of all walking is so much easier. And I've never felt so tall. I'm just about taller than my dad with these insoles!
The insoles themselves are 5mm thin until you get to the heel. The left insole has an inch heel, to raise my short leg. The right one is only half an inch. So that means they only add 0.5 inches of height. I even tried them outside of the shoes.
Measuring myself barefoot when I had a leg difference I was about 5'11, if correcting that makes me as tall as my dad then I'm 6'0. An inch difference.
I will post pictures of the insoles so you can assess whether I'm correct. I will also try to get pictures of my height measurements with and without them. Vegas says on 23/Feb/10

Hi rob sorry, please tell me a correct methods for measure head lenght, this is not very important, is a just curiosity
[Editor Rob: well you try to keep your head straight, so you are looking straight ahead, not up or down. Sometimes it's easier to get someone to hold a ruler at the side of your head and measure to the chin bone (I don't include the fat or double chins in head measurement).] Alex says on 23/Feb/10
hey Rob,i'll be pleased if you answer me these questions... :)
my mom is 5'8,and my dad is 5'10.i'm 19y old and my morning height is 185.2cm,and afternoon 184.4.that makes me something like 185cm?(6'1)and can i grow few more cm?
and one more question...you don't have to answer me if you don't want to...are you married,and if you are,how tall is your woman?
and i love Scotland very much,my big wish is to visit glasgow,edinburgh,loch ness...and i'm for rangers!sorry mate! :)
[Editor Rob: it is likely you are finished growing, but a small percentage of people can still grow age 20, not much though.

Rob,are you satisfied of you being 5'8? Or do you wish to be taller?..
[Editor Rob: your barefoot height isn't something that can be changed...without drastic surgery. I would like to be taller for the purposes of say this site, but you are what you are, better working on things that you can change than things which you can't.
To me I am satisfied because I like working on different things and improving my skills and knowledge.] 177cmmm says on 22/Feb/10

Lozzer what is your bodyfat percentage? 76kg for 5-8.5 is a bit overweight for an average build man but if you have a lot of muscle mass or very athletic build BMI is not a correct way to measure. Althoug being too muscular is also not optimal for human body(still a lot better than carring fat)so you have to compensate a lot of muscle with very little fat. JayB says on 20/Feb/10
What's wrong? the comments haven't been updated for days now. I hope you're all right Rob.

Rob, Is it possible that one loses more height on a day when they are on their feet more often? Ive found that my height on days that ive been walking around alot is 1/4 of an inch shorter than on days when i am not as active.
[Editor Rob: physical effort on the spine makes it lose height, lounging back in a couch might slow the effect because there's not as much strain on it.] Lozzer says on 18/Feb/10
Hey Rob.
Ever thought of doing a one-click option survey thing for people that visit the site to see how tall they are and what gender and age etc?
I think it would be great, i've seen it on other sites! James says on 18/Feb/10
Rob how come when you reach a certain age you have virtually no control over your height but you have control over your weight and muscles?
I mean you can't just say "I feel average I might try and gain 3 inches in height."
[Editor Rob: we are all gentically programmed to stop growing, our growth plates close up and there's no real easy to gain further height once that happens.] JAK says on 18/Feb/10
[Editor Rob: I would wear a gel insole or something like that for the shorter leg, is it noticeable when you stand in front of a mirror that your hips/body is not quite aligned?]
When you point it out it is noticeable. It was noticeable to the doctor that diagnosed me! I'm already in the process of getting custom insoles made. JayB says on 18/Feb/10
@ 177cmmm: you're not the only one. I lose about an inch by the end of the day. 1 inch = 3cm. Morning height is 5'10.75 and evening height is around 5'9.75 and I claim 5'10". But sometimes I lose about 2cm or .5 an inch during the day.
@ JAK: was your grandad a late bloomer?
@ Rob: When measuring yourself against a wall, is it true that you lose an inch of height when you lean your head against the wall?
[Editor Rob: measuring with your head like that will give you a lower measurement, I don't know about an inch, it would need to be a big lean!] 177cmmm says on 18/Feb/10
Rob is there anything i can do to stop dropping so much height by the evening?

Hey Rob may I ask why that is? Is it some kind of genetic gift? Or is there a secret you could probably share???!!;)

Jay that is exactley what I had to do as well when I gained weight and muscle. Parker says on 14/Feb/10

So I'm doing lots of stretching to avoid that slump posture that happens when you gain muscles. James says on 13/Feb/10
Kristian what i have noticed as well is that because a lot of really tall men choose to marry women who are signifigantly shorter than themselves that is why thier sons do sometimes not grow as tall as themselves. rafa says on 13/Feb/10

[Editor Rob: I am Scottish, that's what I consider myself.] James says on 13/Feb/10

To James,
its funny you should say that because me, my sister and brother are all the same height (5'8-5'9). I have a tall dad who would been a strong 6 footer in his prime and a short mum about 5 foot 2-3, i always wondered why my sister got tall my i didnt, makes sense Anonymous says on 12/Feb/10
are you going to weigh celebrities? Good luck making them weigh themselves on your scale. I'm just saying some people can be surprisingly sensitive or just feel that their weight is no one else's business.
[Editor Rob: I'm not going to weigh anybody, it will be either weights said by celebrities I've found in combination with estimates.] Bradi says on 12/Feb/10
Rob do you lose less height when you're not doing hard work? (I.E. Call Centers)
I'd like to know the difference between someone that stays in front of a computer all day and someone that works for example, lifting packages.
Do they both lose the same amount of height at the end of the day?
Thanks :)
[Editor Rob: sitting puts strain on your back more than some might think, doing something that puts stress on back, especially twisting motions might make you lose height faster than normal activity.
I can only speak for my own measurements but doing physical labour doesn't effect my evening height really.
but doing say 2 hours of a hard physical sport like tennis or soccer might knock you a few mm further down than normal] James says on 12/Feb/10
Clay when I weightlift it is easier for me because I have a mesomorphic body type and did not really need to diet properly to gain big muscle. Shaun says on 12/Feb/10
I agree Rob. Nutrition and emotional factors in upbringing are also said to be very important. Testament to that is how much taller people are in Hong Kong than saw somewhere in rural Sichuan. A couple of inches taller on average because of better nutrition/standard of living. I agree though that there is there is a maximum height potential from your genetic makeup and there is only so much good nutrition etc in childhood/adolescence can do... For instance is is unlikely that Filipino parents of 5'4" and 4'11" are going to produce a 6 foot + son and highly likely they will never even reach 5'8". And it is unlikely a 6'4" father and 5'10" mother are going to produce a child under 5'8". James says on 12/Feb/10
Shaun well I know a guy that is a weak 6'2 and his dad was 5'8 1/2 and his mum only 5'3. James says on 12/Feb/10
So rob I take you do not belive the rule that short mothers will have shorter sons and tall farthers will have taller daughters. I will tell you one thing though I have noticed a remarkable amount of tall girls have very tall farthers.
[Editor Rob: I've never heard anybody mention such a thing] Metric says on 12/Feb/10
Strength from actual, physical work is the best. I deadlift 400 lbs now but I got a shock once I had to help someone move some heavy furniture. I didn´t seem to be able to lift it any easier than he could?? Functional strength and "artificial" weight lifting strength are two different things, that´s for sure. Of course someone who trains weights can lift much more on the particular exercises they do but using that strength for every day tasks??
I´m not so sure...I actually think alot of the old time brick layers, carpenters etc. had greater functional strength than many modern bodybuilders. Just my theory, though. PS. I seem to remember reading somewhere about a bricklayer from old times who was able carry 900 lbs up a ladder (!!???). Now if that´s true he could crush any modern strongman. But who knows?? Insane stuff, really... Shaun says on 12/Feb/10
I think Metric ought to be banned from the site. He causes nothing but trouble and is blatantly uncivil. Shaun says on 12/Feb/10
Rob you seem to indicate there are strict limits on how tall you will end up because of genetics. I agree within reason but I think there is more potential than you are letting on. I know a number of tall guys over 6' who only have average height parents and even short mothers or a shortish father/tall mother etc. I tower above my Dad for instance but I have a tall granddad and uncle. I think it is not always reflective of your parents but of the family overall and eve that isn't always the case. Yes it is more common for average parents to produce average children, and tall parents tall children but there is much more variation I think. I agree though it is uncommon for a father of say 5'5" to have a son who is 6'5". Usually the very tall people, over 6'2" have at least one very tall or tall family members.
[Editor Rob: the genetics for height aren't fully understood anyway, so what we inherit could determine our potential. That inheritance might take genetic aspects from mother/father in differing ways.] Clay says on 11/Feb/10
Anyone can gain muscle even if you have an excessively thin frame. Just lift as heavy as you can and supplement protein, and eat muslce building foods like eggs/fish/chicken etc. Too many people just have no clue about diet and nutrition, thats why theres a weight epidemic in a lot of countries. Metric says on 11/Feb/10
173 lbs is pretty decent for your height, Rob. Especially if you don´t use weights.
[Editor Rob: there is some photos on the site where I'm 185lbs, the lowest about 160 I think, but in most within a few pounds of 170 up or down.

Rob when it comes to gaining muscle would say your an easy gainer or a hard gainer?

I think most people vary half an inch, or even sometimes a full inch throughout the day.
I am 6 feet 0 and 1/3 " when I wake up some mornings, but by 5 PM I am down to 5 feet 11 1/2 or 5 feet 11 and 3/4. I do plenty of bending over and lifting, so on the weekends I tend to be taller, sometimes not much less than 6 feet even throughout the day -- So I think you could even give yourself an added 1/4 or 1/3 inch there Rob.

[Editor Rob: sounds like mismeasuring of some sorts.] J.J. says on 8/Feb/10
If you didn't stand tall and got measured do you think it'll be about 1/2 an inch less than your usual height. say like 5'7.5". That's Cos I measure about 0.5 less if I don't stand tall and got measure but sometimes its no more than 3/8ths of an inch. so If I stood like I didn't care I'll be no less than 6'1.4" but I've also got 6'1.3" before.
[Editor Rob: with poor posture I'd drop 1/2 inch, but I generally stand only a few mm less than what I get measured. But sometimes you can stand looser, it depends, everybody's posture changes, but most of the time you would stand a certain range.] Joe says on 8/Feb/10

140 pounds and 5' 11"? That's like Allied troops in Burma in '44.

Well this is what it looks like:

Hardly skeletal. JAK says on 5/Feb/10

You went UP TO 140 pounds at 5'11"? OH MY GOD. If I go BELOW 160 pounds at 5'9.5" I look like a RAKE. This astonishes me that REALLY THIN GUYS don't realize that they are extremely underweight. Men should weigh more than women. If it's not an eating disorder than it's just denial. Most men like to have some size to them, both for the opposite sex and for themselves.

You say you look like a rake if you go below 160 lbs. Well at 142 lbs 5'11 I don't look like a rake. I'm slim, but not that skinny. It's just bone structure. The reason I'm this light is because I'm young. I'm still putting weight on as part of the growing process. If I was 25+ and this weight then I would have problems. Metric says on 5/Feb/10
I also used to think Celebweights would be a duck. But lets see how it goes. Someone like Arnold is sure going to be mighty interesting to discuss! :)
I´m excited for now. Joe says on 5/Feb/10
rob, is there a point of keeping burn gorman on here if no one can comment on him?

Not that ridiculous I was 6-2 145, at the end of high school, most young people that don't work out, are considerably skinnier, it is not until early 20's when most men (once again assuming no weight training) begin to fill out. When I was 21 I got my weight up to about 165 (I did grow an inch in college) . Now I am 6-3 and weigh about 175, and yes I am skinny but I would not consider myself rail thin, and have not been told I am skinny since the beginning of college. No it's not an eating problem I bet I can eat more than you can, it is simple metabolism and metabolism slows down. Shaun says on 4/Feb/10
I found a chart which shows the 95th percentile or whatever it is. Meaning that at that level you'd be taller than 95% of the population. Interestingly for a 30 year old white American male you'd have to be 188cm or more to be taller than 95% of the white male population. But for a 30 year old Hispanic American male you;d have to be over 182cm.
P.S Celebweights is not a good idea because many celebrities, especially actors weights can be all over the place, just look at Christian Bale!! P.S Flash of Eden, I disbelieve that you are 6'2" and weigh 130. That is skeletal. Ollie says on 4/Feb/10
Rob i'm almost 19 and 6'1".I would like to get a bit taller but have i reached my peak height?

hey rob in response to your comment on the brad pitt page, why don't you see a 3 inch difference? If you were to put up a chart, it would show 5'10ish and 6'1 . Isn't pitt standing farther away from the camera in only 1 of the pictures? Brandon says on 4/Feb/10
I'm 5'9", and 140. I'm slim, but in my opinion I look healthy. People guess my weight at about 150 usually. It guess it can depend on your frame though. I have a medium frame, so I'm fine. 6'2" and 130 pounds is underweight no matter what size frame you are. miko says on 4/Feb/10
Danimal, I'm 6"0 and 195 lbs - is that a good weight?
15" biceps, that I'm looking to get up to 17/18 inches in 2010. flash_of_eden says on 3/Feb/10
Danimal- It's not that simple. I am 6'2" and weigh 130, but have narrow shoulders and a small bone frame which are contributing factors. People also have their own individual tresholds of what they consider skinny. 177cmmm says on 3/Feb/10
Rob when i first used this site i was 177 now im between 186-188 im interested to know when i first posted on this site is it possible to find out? I thought i was done at 17 because i had full body hair and shaved i was really surprised to grow that much its not normal.
btw if someone were to grow 1 inch in a year how often would they need to measure themselves to check if they have grown? |
