@rob..Is there any problem in the amitabh bachchan page..i made a post today and it did not appear..and moreover craneberries's as well as salman's post were also deleted..before that all the previous post by different users were also deleted..??
Salman says on 3/Feb/12
Rob, would you advise on using a shaving cream aerosol can or an aerosol spray can when measuring? Does a hard back book work just as well? Also, do I push down on my head all the way or should it barely touch my head? Thanks. jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m- 1.84 m says on 2/Feb/12
Rob would you consider adding Titus Welliver? He's a pretty prolific character actor whose been in many films and TV shows. He's listed as 6' everywhere but I suspect he could be a weak 6' seeing him next to Edward Burns. Salman says on 2/Feb/12
Rob, in this picture below, assuming both people are in similar footwear, I see a 1.5 inch difference. What do you think? If the person on the left is 5 ft 7.5, then that makes the person on the right 5 ft 6 right? Thanks.

Hi rob do you think you could do a tape measure in the mirror method video on YouTube just so we can see what it looks like doing it properly. Just to clarify you stand a couple of feet from the mirror and pull the tape measure up and put it alongside of you? Is that correct? Thanks RisingForce says on 2/Feb/12
Yeah, Rob, I'm about 5'10" in the boots, maybe a fraction over 2-3 hours after waking up without the lift. The lift is more like 1.25" until I press down on it, then it's about 1". Ikbob says on 2/Feb/12
Rob, when someone wears lifts, where does it normally bulge? I know a guy who think wears lifts cause he has visually become taller and always stands in an awkward way but I can't really tell if he is wearing lifts or not.
[Editor Rob: the front part of the shoe/sneaker might look a bit tight because the foot is at an angle, or his laces bulge a bit more.
it can be hard to tell though with jeans/trousers covering, but if you saw his footwear side on, his ankle might be high up which is a giveaway.] avi says on 2/Feb/12

@ avi
i think between Djokovic and Ana there're around 6 cm/2,25 in, so i think 182 cm is fair for her.
i think she always looked a little over 5 ft 11 in/180 cm...
i look anywhere from 5'11 (as Rob said in my photo) to weak 6'1 in pictures. doesnt mean i am 6'1 or 5'11. i fall in the middle. She looks 5'10-6'0 in photos...i would say 5'11 flat based on phots with Djokovic who could struggle with 6'2 himself... avi says on 2/Feb/12
@[Editor Rob: there could be near 2 inches in that photo]
even so Rob you don't seem convinced it is a real 2 inches. could be 1.75 but he claims almost 6'3!! this was a few years back where iwas weak 5'11 and he seemed 6'1. now he is 6'2 zone and im about 6'0 so the margins are the same. most "tall" people i see are shorter than him by a tad. and the ones taller are no more than an inch or 1.5 tops. I can't understand how he could claim this though height of 6'3 when im 6'0 flat. no way he has 3 inches on me even if in shoes while i'm barefoot...
[Editor Rob: I guess the question is, to you, does he look 3 inches taller in person, if not then maybe he's nearer 6ft 2.] John D says on 2/Feb/12
Rob is it possible to grow more than 1 inch after 17? My dad and uncle grew 1 inch after 18 but I don't know about anyone on my mothers side of the family.
[Editor Rob: I think if you gained an inch after 17 you should be happy, anymore a bonus.] xyz.reg(185.4cms-186.9cms) says on 2/Feb/12
@avi It would be interesting if u can merge the two pics and see how tall your taller friend is if compared with the 5ft 9 person. miko says on 1/Feb/12
Rob is there such thing as a 'walking height', I only ask this because I usually seem to come up shorter against people of a similar height when walking past them.
For example, I'm 6'0 and a girl in our office is 5'10, standing next to her I'm clearly taller, but walking past her I sometimes feel the same height or shorter.
[Editor Rob: maybe you have a longer stride or poorer posture/head bent down a bit when walking compared to your normal standing stance.] lol93 says on 1/Feb/12
rob what is the difference about 5 ft 8.75 in and 5 feet 9 in ?aren't the same? can you explain to me the difference in cm
[Editor Rob: it's like 0.6cm] RisingForce says on 1/Feb/12
Rob, I'm certain that I'm at least 5'8", yet when I put 1" inserts in boots with heels that are between 2"-2.25", yet I'm still just able to stand under something that's 5'10.75".
Do you think the problem could be the way the insert is sitting in the boot?
[Editor Rob: it should give you close to 2.7 inch overall if you put 1 inch lift in an already thick 2-inch heel. You are certain the boot on it's own takes you to 5ft 10?] maio says on 1/Feb/12

Shahrukh and Salman Khan I think are both around the same height 5'7" ish maybe with a little change. I haven't seen a photo of them together though.
Salman khan guy is like the stallone of bollywood.He's 5'6 tops,srk always had an inch on him.Salman with lifts can look 174 guy avi says on 31/Jan/12

She looks 5'11 TOPS. Djokovic has like 3 inches on her. avi says on 31/Jan/12
@@[Editor Rob: in the photo I don't think you appear over 180cm, but it is grass so that could be a little uneven.]
i can safely say in real life it is closer to 3 inches than to 1.5 inches. i didn't say i had .6 inch vans on and he has 1.5 inch or so shoes (those posture help ones).since you drew a line can you tell me difference is in this one? last time you said barely 2 inches ( i am 5'11 if that here) he claims over 6'2. and i'll tell you what he measured next post. Click Here
[Editor Rob: there could be near 2 inches in that photo] Adam says on 31/Jan/12
Rob why are you so modest with your height? I have seen your youtube videos measuing yourself and you are always over 5'8, yet you list 5'8 flat most of the time. It would make as much sense to round it up to a mid-figure as rounding it down, since at peak height you are almost 5'9 and your low is 5'8.125.
[Editor Rob: the stadiometer adds a good 2mm.
if I'm out and about at a convention (carrying a bag, on feet, walking, being up early) usually by mid-day I'm going to be 5ft 8 1/8th.
Not putting much strain on my back or not doing much about the house like the videos, then I won't drop as fast.] Salman says on 31/Jan/12
Rob, at night I measure 5 ft 9 using the mirror method. I can look over a 5 ft 5 person's head. Is my accurate height 5 ft 9.5? Thanks.
[Editor Rob: it could be, but I'd still try to find a house with good wall/floor and try a few measurements to see if you are over 5ft 9.] Will says on 31/Jan/12
Rob, Why do tall people often weigh more? maio says on 31/Jan/12
@ rob
---------------
i usually lose, from the morning to the night, around 1,8-2 cm. I saw diffrent times that, after three hrs out of bed, i'm only a few mm taller than my low height.
[Editor Rob: you can go down faster if you do some activity. I once was doing painting for an hour on ladders, up and down and 5 hours after waking was at my low.] Josh B says on 31/Jan/12
Rob, i'm just over 5'10 and yesterday my weight dropped very slightly under 9 stone. Is this normal? :P
[Editor Rob: you are underweight for your height, I would up your meals a little to add a few pounds. ] ANDREA[ITA] says on 31/Jan/12
Rob, look at this pic: Click Here
Here, you see Joss Stone, listed here at 5'10. I saw some pics of her and she really is barefoot most of the times, like you said in his listing. Here she has shoes and she's with Jenson Button and she looks max 172. You agree? Jodie Kidd looks a legit 6'1, not 6'2 like you said. Maybe 6'1 for Jodie and 5'8 for Joss are more realistic?
[Editor Rob: yeah that was posted a while ago on her page....there's a chance she's smaller than her claim (at times she goes barefoot at events), although if she had the same posture (which I'm not sure about) she can look 5ft 8 in the photo. I will look at this girl to see.] Alex says on 31/Jan/12
Those electronic machines where you stand on that gives your height and weight aren't good. The height can be off a good few inches ramiz says on 31/Jan/12
Rob,after 2-3 hours of sleep, what would be the height increase?Returns to normal height again after 2-3 hours or 1-2 hours?
[Editor Rob: you need a good 7-8 hours to get back to your max, but 2-3 hours can give you a good amount back.
] 1.85 m, 83 kg says on 31/Jan/12
Rob, I consider you of average height. Would you agree?
[Editor Rob: 5ft 8 I think is, in the UK at least, what some would call a low average or the tall end of short.] maio says on 31/Jan/12
rob, it's normal i always lose around two cm from the morning to the night in the first three hrs of the day?
[Editor Rob: in the first 3 hours? That's an awful lot, but if you lost 3cm total from morning to night, then I wouldn't say it was abnormal to lose near 2cm in first 3 hours.] geant says on 31/Jan/12
Rob,
Do you believe that men who always walk in military posture may have a height complex?
[Editor Rob:
I don't think it's a bad thing to maintain good posture. I see many men walk tall at all sorts of heights.
if you maintain good posture now, and keep your muscles working, when you age, maybe you won't develop worsening posture/height loss as some who don't stand upright and slouch.] Ras says on 31/Jan/12
Rob just out of curiosity, how tall were the tallest man and the tallest woman you've run into? I remember seeing a 6'5.5"-6'6" girl ten feet away from me on a crowded festival and she looked like a giraffe going through all of those more normal persons. I once saw a girl that looked about 6'4.5" and curiously enough that same day I found a girl that looked like about 6'0.75". I recall seeing a woman with heels that easily looked 6'6" on them but without them I thought she'd be about 6'3". Other than that the regular tallest girls I ran into were within the 6'0"-6'2" range (obviously more 6'0ers than 6'2ers) I think in total out of all of the women I've bumped into in my life (at least since I started to be height conscious back in 2003-2004 when I was about 15 years old) only about 25-30 have been 6'0" or taller. As for men I think it's the same proportion for guys 6'5" or taller. The tallest one I've run into I thought was 7'1", not kidding, this was back in 2005 I think, was 5'6" at the time (now I'm 5'7"). If I remember well, my eye level was just a bit above his plexus. He looked like an endomorph, and in good proportion, maybe just a long torso but really wide as well, he didn't look like your typical palm-shaped lanky NBA player, or Ian Whyte that's for sure! 5\'4 footer says on 30/Jan/12
In one pic you are measuring forward facing instead of back against wall stance. when I measure forward facing my height is a bit taller than when my back is toward the wall..between 5'4 and 5'4 1/4,depending. Why did you pic that stance to measure? just curious.
[Editor Rob: it's easier for people to measure and mark on a wall when they face it.
if you have a big bum and measure with your back against the wall you could possibly alter your stance/spine slightly and be undermeasuring your height.
it doesn't make any difference really on a stadiometer because the bar is quite thin, but a wall isn't. You can see I done one video with my back against the device.] Milkman says on 30/Jan/12
Hi rob what do you think of those machines in boots that measure height, weight and b.m.i. I have got different readings on them especially with the weight and b.m.i. Do you think the height measurements are accurate on them? Cheers
[Editor Rob: they can give a rough guess, but you need to make sure you don't rock forward/backward or it might undermeasure you - the beam hitting a lower part of your head.] Max says on 30/Jan/12
Thank you, Rob. And closer to the night how much I shrink? (163.2 afternoon)
[Editor Rob: you might not shrink much more, maybe a couple mm.
if you done some intense exercise late afternoon and measured straight after, there's a chance you would lose a couple more mm] Salman says on 30/Jan/12
Rob, sorry to keep bringing this question up, I just wanted to clear up some confusions. I have some pictures and a short clip showing Shahrukh Khan with Indian actor Saif Ali Khan, who is 5 ft 7. I think judging by these pics and clip, I think Shahrukh Khan could be closer to 5 ft 7 than 5 ft 7.5. What do you think? After looking at these pics and clip, would you consider downgrading Shahrukh Khan's height from 5 ft 7.5 to 5 ft 7?

[Editor Rob: he could be 5ft 7.5 or 7, at times he can look both.] Salman says on 30/Jan/12
@Shaun:
Salman's wax statue is 5'8" because his figure is presumably in lifts, giving him a 2.5 inches advantage. Shahrukh's wax statue has him in normal dress shoes. If you want proof that Salman is 5'5.5" max then watch Karan Arjun and Hum Saath Saath Hain. He is a good 1.5 inches shorter than Shahrukh and Saif who are around 5'7" max. SAK says on 30/Jan/12
@Shaun, that is not a good photo to judge height, we cant see there footwear, and the angles are off. SRK(5ft7.5) is for sure taller then SalmanKhan(5ft6). Shaun says on 30/Jan/12
Click Here
Well Salman looks taller and might be 5 ft 8 maybe but from what I've seen he always wears boots with bootleg jeans in the Simon Cowell style which means something I think and yes I think Salman is definitely the type to wear lifts so they might be nearer the same height barefoot. Shaun says on 30/Jan/12
@Salman
Shahrukh and Salman Khan I think are both around the same height 5'7" ish maybe with a little change. I haven't seen a photo of them together though. Shaun says on 30/Jan/12
@Salman
I think Salman Khan is somewhere around 171 cm barefoot. To me he looks like a 5'8" with a little change guy in shoes. I think he's a solid 5'7" but anything lower from what I've seen of him is ridiculous. I think his Maddame Tussauds statue is supposed to be 5 ft 8. Max says on 30/Jan/12
Rob, in the afternoon I 163.3 cm. What is my height when I woke up? Sorry for my english
[Editor Rob: you are probably 165cm or thereabouts.] J.J. says on 30/Jan/12
@Rob don't you think Ana Ivanovic looks 181cm at most with Novak! Is that only 2" difference because I see more than 2" . I see @ least 2.5" which means if Jokovic is 187cm then she is no more than 182cm & likely 181cm
[Editor Rob: she can look 5ft 11.5 at times with him.] 16 year old says on 30/Jan/12
Hi rob,
In my house I have very uneven walls and uneven floor, so it is inaccurate to use my tape measure. What I do instead is take my ipod touch which is 11 cm and start from the floor to the top of my head, being as accurate as possible. And I came out as 6'1.5". I'm around 2 inches taller than my 5'10" dad. So is he taller than he thinks, or am I measuring wrong? thanks
[Editor Rob: I think it's easier to get somebody to help you.
put a chopping board on the flattest section you might have then have your friend hold a tape measure from the floor and then look at top of your head (with hair flattened) and get a rough idea. Your friend might be better on a small stool/step/books to be able to get his eyes to the top of your head.] CK says on 30/Jan/12

Hey Rob I measured myself today again and I recorded my height as 5ft 11 in the morning and 5ft9.5 at night. Do you know any way to lessen the dramatic height loss throughout the day?
[Editor Rob: your discs must lose a lot of water content during the day to shrink that much.
all you could do was take a wee rest for 25 minutes and you can regain 5mm of height.] Salman says on 29/Jan/12

[Editor Rob: khan can look around 5 inches taller possibly] Salman says on 29/Jan/12
@Shaun:
Salman Khan's wax statue measurements were not revealed to the public as far as I know. Rob estimated him at 5 ft 6 next to barefeet 5 ft 5 Aamir Khan. Salman is no more than 5 ft 6, in fact he's more likely closer to 5 ft 5.5. Aamir is no more than 5 ft 5. Trust me, the heights of the Khan's are a huge topic of debate over at Shahrukh Khan's height page. Shahrukh is no more than 5 ft 7.5 as Rob estimated him as well. clarkkent says on 29/Jan/12

@@[Editor Rob: in the photo I don't think you appear over 180cm, but it is grass so that could be a little uneven.]
this is an odd estimate Rob because the picture you have with Grant Bowler is almost the same difference as me and with this guy in the picture! i must be 3 inches taller as Grant Bowler difference is maybe 1 or 1 1/4 more... clearly i must be almost 3 inches taller being his head only comes inch above my eyebrow.

Hi rob..u say that if we stand in front of the tape mark then we might appear taller..but only in the mirror..not with naked eye..consider me standing in front of a 6ft 3 guy..now how would i appear 6ft 2 with 6ft 3 guy when in reality i m an inch shorter than that..one of my friend stood barefoot in front of a wall with height marked sticker..he has flat hair..his hair were touching 6ft 3..as seen with naked eye..and he claims that.....the gym instructor said that the height markings were in accordance with the normal measuring tape...he showed us that but when he was measured on a stadio at some other place he got 189.2cms!!
[Editor Rob: if your eyes are not nearly the same height as the person standing in front of a wall, then it can potentially add some height to how tall they look - the top of their head would appear a little more than if you measured.] geant says on 28/Jan/12
Rob,
Which is the cut-off height for short comments in your opinion ?
[Editor Rob: at 5ft 9 you should really rarely be seen as short.
if a taller man thinks you are short, it is the taller man who has more of a height worry than the 5ft 9 man.] ANDREA[ITA] says on 28/Jan/12
So, Rob? You think that italian celebrities are more honest and humble or downgrade them by 3-4 cms? You really think that Javier Bardem is 182? Considering that this guy claimed 183, he just doesnt look that height. Why should he claim to be 183 if he's taller? That's not the only photo of them where he looks noticeably taller. The same thing with Kim Rossi Stuart, i told him he claimed 187 but you say he's taller... When someone is honest, you just dont accept it and upgrade him (see Justin Hartley, Jack Coleman, Geoff Stults, Mark Strong, David Duchovny)... Why you do that?
[Editor Rob:
height doesn't always fall on rounded figures. Some actors might be a 1/4 inch under and just say the rounded figure, while others might be a 1/4 inch over and not bother with it. Not many in America ever say height in cm, which might be a better way to state it.] Shaun says on 28/Jan/12

@ andrea
Argentero is in the 181-2 cm range, while Bardem is sure less than 182 cm, how rob listed: he's in the same range, perhaps a little shorter, than Tommy Lee Jones, who's not today over 5 ft 11 in, so i think 179 cm for Javier is right and 181-2 cm for Argentero. Jordan says on 28/Jan/12
I know you advise to use the aerosol method Rob, but would it be ok to pile books or DVDs to a certain height and then put something flat on top and then stand underneath? Could this give a good idea of height?
[Editor Rob: I think the simpler you make the measurement, the easier.
but yeah you could pile several wooden/plastic boxes and dvds until it was a certain height, and then put a length of wood on to and stand beside/under the wood, you should be able to find a height you are taller than because your head will start raising the wood.
but a can is something most people could get hold of and you can always get a friend to help see if it's straight on top of your head and flush against the wall.] maio says on 28/Jan/12

Rob could measuring on a pretty old, slightly sunken carpet lower results by like 1/4 of an inch? I have measured myself at roughly 5'8.5, 174cm give or take a few mm on multiple walls throughout my house (all level ground) as well as next to my fridge which is like 5'8.6 and I am almost identical height beside. Tap measure infront of eye method gives a hair over 5'8, so around 5'8.5. However I have a sort of box where electrical things are stored in my basement in the wall and it measures pretty much bang on 5'9. When I stand underneath it in the morning my head touches the top, and I am even slightly above it and cannot stand fully straight (probably 1/8-1/4 of an inch taller). However at night I feel I am a bit less then 0.75 of an inch shorter. Could it be the carpet sinking a fraction to show this? FWIW when I put my slippers that give about 0.75 of an inch I touch the top.
[Editor Rob: your heels might sink into a thick pile carpet but when you put the tape measure on the carpet against the wall, unless you push it down as much as your heels have pushed the carpet down, then there's a chance you might be undermeasuring a fraction.] MD says on 27/Jan/12
Rob,
Do you think you could give "sean" a timeout from the General Height page, already? He's been a distraction for quite some time, and now he's litereally bringing the dicussions to a halt with his trolling. He has some personal issues he needs to deal with outside of this site, and he shouldn't be allowed to continue to hijack this site like he has. I wish him well, but it's time for a little break for sean.

hey Rob i'm 5ft11 in the morning and i just want to know why i end up being 5ft9.5 before bed time do you think its because of my posture or bad spinal problems

Rob, please check this picture out. how tall do i look in this? the guy to left is 5'9. maybe 5'8.9 but 5'9 here because he has 1/4 advantage in shoes. but how tall do i LOOK regardless of his height. thanks. Click Here

hard to tell but he is almost same height as bold head guy whoo looks 5'11 or so. a weak 6'1 would be fair maybe 6'1 flat. avi says on 27/Jan/12
Rob, again it never fails. i was walking around campus and saw some few 6'1ers even close to 6'2. there are more shorter but there still are more extreme heights here. i saw strong 6'4 (had the funny longer head) and another storng 6'3er. out of every 30 people i see about 3-4 guys who are 6'2-6'4 area ( closer to 6'2 than 6'4) is this normal for young college generation? also if everyone is tall doesn't this "kill the thrill " a bit? like its not even "cool" or "unique" to be 6'1 or 6'2 or even 6'4 because so many are within 1-2 inches of this height.
[Editor Rob: if everyone was the same height, there'd be no need for a site like this...
I think you will find a greater proportion of taller men on a campus rather than in general population. The average for younger 18-30 is going to be taller than the general male average
tall men should be grateful for short men - without them, they wouldn't be able to call themselves tall!] Jordan says on 27/Jan/12
Hey Rob would you measure me if I came to Scotland? I wouldn't want any photos or anything I'd just like someone who knows what they are doing to measure me. ANDREA[ITA] says on 27/Jan/12
Well, he has claimed 182 and 183 :) You think he's taller? On the italian tv he looks a bit over 180, no more! This is not the first italian person i saw that looked taller next to the celebs you have listed on here. An example: Click Here Depardieu at 5'9.5 makes the first guy from the right about 6'2.5 when in reality is 185-186... Here the italian actor, Luca Ward, is 180 but looks max 4 inches shorter than ray stevenson, plus shoe disadvantage... Dunno why but it seems that or the italians are more honest or 6'2 here correspond to 185 or i don't know. You tell me, Rob! Doug says on 27/Jan/12
Rob, do you think Madame Tussauds museum figures are indentical to real life? Or are they barefoot height? I am not really into height measurement thing, but it is weird, that Brad Pitt was supposedly few inches taller than me, and I am at least 5'10.
Do you think they are really precise? And do you think that their heights are meant to be without or with shoes on?
Have a nice day and please respond.
[Editor Rob: if the actor is photographed at a 'press reveal' of their figure, then they are likely to have agreed to body measurements, including height.
but of course some actors might not agree to it, so in that case they have to guess the height.] James says on 27/Jan/12
rob do you think the late rock hudson could have been between 6'4-6'5 as opposed too the full 6'5?
i think its been pointed out that there was little difference between him and 6'4 clint eastwood in a photo from 1969. maio says on 27/Jan/12
rob, considering novak djokovic is in the 187-88 cm range, how you said, you think 5 ft 11.75 in/182 cm is right for Ana Ivanovic? ( Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here)
[Editor Rob: around 6ft could be right ] ANDREA[ITA] says on 27/Jan/12
Rob, how tall is the fourth guy from the left? Click Here
He's an italian actor, first tell me how tall you think he is and then i'll tell you how tall he claims to be. I just say i have the impression that italians are more honest than the celebrities on this site because if i take an italian guy who claims to be 188 and a celeb listed here at 6'2, the italian one looks taller. Im starting to think that the "foot" system doesnt correspond to the metric system.
[Editor Rob: he can look over 6ft, maybe close to 6ft 1 in the photo.] Gaga-183.2cm-185.1cm says on 27/Jan/12
Rob, i measure 184 on an average day, and when i drop posture to my biggest hunch without flexing any other part of the body than the upper back i measure 180cm, is 4 cm posture lose average or is it too much?how much heigth can you lose dropping posture with your worst hunch?
[Editor Rob: maybe 3-4cm but if people stand like that they'll end up long term increasing hugely the chance of damaging their back and losing more height through bad habit.] SolidSnake says on 27/Jan/12
What is the correct way to measure someone with the stadiometer? Is it to let the thing fall completely down or to put it at the absolute heighest point it's touching your head or somewhere inbetween these?
[Editor Rob: just bring it down until it pushes your hair down and hits your skull, you can tap it slightly to make sure it can't go down further, although if you tap it too much it might bend the bar a little and undermeasure a couple mm.] geant says on 26/Jan/12
Rob do you believe that women above 5'11 have a difficult time finding a partner ?
[Editor Rob: the taller, the more difficult it might be, as there is still - in many folks minds - the idea of man being equal/taller than a woman.] Salman says on 26/Jan/12
Rob, are you 100% confident with all of the heights listed on this website? Is there a possibility that any of these heights on this website can actually be more than what you have them listed? For example if you list someone as 5 ft 7.5, could they be 5 ft 8 in reality or are you confident that none of the people can be higher than the height listed for them?
[Editor Rob: only if I measured celebrities would I ever use terms like 100% confidence.
Since none of us measure them, we are using our best guesses. Sometimes you can be more confident if you see a '6ft claim' actor standing with a 6 foot friend (who I've measured) and he looks an inch smaller.] Jacky Huynh says on 26/Jan/12
Hi Rob, my dad sometimes uses a walking stick. When he uses it, it seems like his posture is looser. Can this make him appear shorter?
[Editor Rob: using a stick could definitely knock a bit from how tall you appear to others] Jack says on 26/Jan/12
Rob I'm 18 and 173-174 cm range.My doctor advised me to X-ray X-ray of the left wrist to know if I have finished the growth. Is there any chance to grow more? Or it will be just a waist of time?
[Editor Rob: as you get to 18 the odds decrease a lot. You are in a smaller minority if you gain visible (1/2 inch or more) growth after 18.] AlexX says on 26/Jan/12
Hey Rob.What do you think about height increasing insoles?Shall I feel comfortable wearing them?
[Editor Rob: you would be best wearing them a bit in the house to get used to them, should you then start wearing them outside. ] |
