Devon 'No Limits' Larratt is a Canadian professional Armwrestler. A 2016 article described him as "6-foot-4-inch, 225 pounds", although he has been described often as 6ft 5 too and said he was "Six Five if I really stand up"
Dominic Flanagan said on 15/Jun/25
In nearly all of the videos, Devon slouches a lot making him appear shorter than he really is..ie 6'4" to 6'5..now we've had a chance to see Devon stretch to his full height and we all heard the lady say 78 inches which is 6'6". When you see Devon and Brian walk alongside there is practically very little difference in height. I can easily believe Brian was a legit 6'8" as a young basketball player I'm his 20s but the effects of lifting heavy weights during his strongman career has shortened his height and now confirmed at 6'6.5" or thereabouts. You can see Brian's disappointment on the one hand but Devons surprise on the other hand at being 6'6". Just my opinion. Cheers

@Bruss 690
Yeah levan claims 6ft4. I think he measures that in sneakers. He can pull of flat 6ft 3, but sometimes looks just under it. I would list levan 6ft 2.75, 6ft 2.5 is a bit low for him.
Canson said on 12/Jun/25
@Robbe: yea 6’5 is poss right but it’s a best case

Devon knows he is not 6'6 lol that's why he didn't want to go back to back with Brian.

Editor Rob
There's been an ongoing debate for a week on these guys. I think the fact she looked again and said maybe 6.75 suggest he might have been sitting between the 2 figures on 6ft 6 5/8ths...based on that, I am not convinced Devon is really just 5/8ths of an inch smaller.
Duhon said on 10/Jun/25
The Dexa scan has nothing to do with height. The very tiny lady who was measuring Devin by hand didn't look like she got a good measurement out of him. Devin has never claimed to be taller than 6'5", and there's no reason to think he's grown in his 50s.
Ziren said on 10/Jun/25
194cm 6'4 1/2
Bruss690 said on 10/Jun/25
6.5 (195-196 cm) It's ok.
With Matt Mask in this video, Devon seems 1 inch shorter.
Click Here
Matt Mask should be 6.6 (198 cm). Look this video with Derek Smith who is 6.8 (203 cm)
Click Here
And in this pick Derek Smith and Brian Shaw, 1/1,5 inch different. So 6'6.5 (199,5 cm) is legit for Shaw.

Aptz said on 9/Jun/25
Rob I would just give him6’6.He measured 6’6 in the video and previously in a dexa scan.maybe at least a 1/4-1/2 inch upgrade

Editor Rob
I thought the purpose of that scan was to get bone density based on values that the operator inputs into the software (height/weight).
bmb said on 9/Jun/25
No offense to her, but either she is bad at measuring people or there is a bit of favoritism going on. I don't know. You call out a height when the bar finally makes contact with the head, not when there's about an inch of space left smh. It was pretty interesting that even Brian Shaw questioned it lmao.
MatPit said on 9/Jun/25
It's a good point that the bar is not at the top of his head in the video. Also, Devon himself (and others) were visibly surprised about the read 6'6". He's 50 years old so he's been measured before multiple times, it's not like people figure out being a full inch taller than they thought when they turn 50, more like the opposite. I think there's enough doubts about the measurement to not take it as 100% truth. I think 6'5" is quite reasonable for now.

Editor Rob
For me there is some doubt as to the exact figure he managed to get.
In some cases there is little doubt, like that recent measurement posted of Ethan Klein under his stadiometer. For me, the chances of him not being what he measured were slim.
Even when a stadiometer is used, you also have some cases of people calling out the wrong height - Gordon Ramsay was 'measured' at 6ft 2 and a half...yet he wasn't, the model (herself over 6ft) called out the wrong figure and in fact he was more like 6ft 1 3/8ths in shoes.
Robbe said on 9/Jun/25
If Thor is 6'7.75 there, Devon looks 6'5
Click Here
That was 4 years ago.
Mike190 said on 9/Jun/25
Chill out guys.
Devon may well be a bit over 6ft 5 but there's no chance that he's 6ft 6. Matt mask whos 6ft 5 and change is consistently taller than Devon and Brian Shaw is clearly almost 2 inches taller.
Devon has always claimed 6ft 5, 195cm or 197cm and said he was shrinking on many occassions in the last decade.
197cm would be the ABSOLUTE max for him that he could measure barefoot in his prime. 6ft 5 fits him well at 50 years old.
Also the woman who measured them was quite short and looking up at a steep angle so the accuracy of her measurement is questionable. I personally have been mismeasured by nurses by over 2 inches. Just because someone is a health care professional, it doesn't make them an expert height measurer lol.
Bob star said on 8/Jun/25
He’s definitely 6 5.5
Canson said on 8/Jun/25
I can’t see as high as 196.5. He looks like a solid 6’5 tho
Arch Stanton said on 8/Jun/25
Yeah, 6 ft 6 didn't seem to add up with Brian's 6'6.75, I thought there looked a good 2 inches between stood together!
Sh0ckeh said on 7/Jun/25
Rob, you answered Dev198 underneath here with "I think 195cm is fairer". WTF? How? Because you say so? Despite a barefoot stadiometer measurement aka legit as hell. You don't even watch videos of Devon, if you did you'd know he walks around looking close to the same size as Brian Shaw, which is not easy considering hes a 200cm (6.6.75) giant. Its directly UNFAIR to not update Devons height to 197-197.5cm after Brians video. It was as good of a measurement you can get.
There was no malicious "edit" in the video, it was simply to avoid getting demonetization for either swear words/music or just quick edits to speed up the videos for us viewers when somethings taking too long. And they also cut stuff to fast forward the videos. As others have stated, this was a legit totally barefoot measurement bald as hell too (shaven head for devon). But I mean, what does it matter when you can just decide whats fair and whats not. Whats this site even for?! Learn to accept the truth and stop bickering.

Editor Rob
There looked more than 3/4 of an inch between them.
Sh0ckeh said on 7/Jun/25
As others have stated, Devon was measured at 6'6 (78 inches/198cm) which was barefoot as well as a clean shaven head (no hair)! He's clearly 6'5.75 (197.5cm) exactly.
You NEED to edit this and increase his height to 197.5cm or the very least 197cm Rob! The reason they cut the video for literally 2 seconds was due to what they said (swear word) so in order to not get demonetized on youtube they often cut small parts. Has nothing to do with some sort of "sly height trick" which you're thinking lmao, I mean cmon thats downright silly. It was a legit measurement, I mean look at Devon next to Brian who's 6'6.75 (200cm). He literally looks the same size most of the time or max a few cms less. He wouldn't look that big next to Brian unless he was a minimum of 197.5cm.
In literally every video with Devon Larratt in public, he TOWERS over everyone. So its very reasonable to believe he actually is a perfect 6'5.75 (197.5cm). So for the love of god stop being so stubborn you're not even updating his height to 197cm (MINIMUM). Leaving it at 195cm now is ridiculous. No wonder people always comment "Celebheights always downsize people" etc when you wont even take a true barefoot measurement like this seriously?! Btw: The reason she lifted it up briefly AFTER the measurement was to make sure she saw the 78 inch mark as it was hidden when it was level with the top of his head. Its common sense... is your guess more legit than a dexa scan, Rob, where height/weight is neccessary?
I've watched hundreds of videos with Devon. I believe he is 6'5.75 (197.5cm) exactly. I believe she (or the machine) was offset by 0.25 which explains why Brian Shaw measured at 6'6.5 (199.5cm) instead of 6'6.75 (200cm). Update his height please for the love of god.

Editor Rob
So she lifted it up 3cm to see a measurement?
Say he was 6ft 6 and Brian 6ft 6 5/8ths,
So these guys are 5/8ths apart?
It would be interesting to have seen a video side on with the stadiometer figures being shown.
Duhon said on 7/Jun/25
I doubt it helped that the person measuring Devon seems to be under 5' tall.
AndrewC said on 7/Jun/25
Devon has just been measured as 6 foot 6 professionally before dexa scan, why would you ever use any other height than that it basically defeats the purpose of telling someone s real height, the video is on Brian Shaw s channel

Editor Rob
Click Here. Those 2 stills are 1 frame apart. They made a cut in the video - once the bar is above his head you hear the women calling out 78 inches.
Why she's including thin air in the measurement is beyond me 😆
MatPit said on 7/Jun/25
I think the measurement in Shaw's video could be legit. Based on what I've heard Devon sleeps very late so could practically be a morning measurement. And he did straighten up for it very well so his natural posture might just be slouching. I'd give him 6'5 3/8" in the evening.
Dine Orco said on 7/Jun/25
Brian Shaw posted a video on youtube of him and Devon doing the DEXA Scan and they measured Devon at 6'6. Do you think it was an accurate measurement? His height is a little tricky because he slouches a lot

Editor Rob
I'm not convinced there is is only 5/8ths to 3/4 of an inch between those 2 guys. It's more likely Shaw is currently 6ft 6.75 and shrunk a fraction by now, whether Devon has lost any I don't know...probably one guy who manages to stand up taller for a measurement though!
joec said on 6/Jun/25
@Rob he just got measured at 6'6 barefoot, I assume it's a misread? Go to 2:40

Editor Rob
They made a quick cut on 2.38:
Click Here. Anybody could see it on the video if they move to say 2.37 and then go frame by frame (use right arrow key to move forward a frame).
I'm not sure why they made the cut, but the bar suddenly jumped - in the course of one frame - from being on top of his head to at least an inch above it, while after the cut she then calls out 78 inches (with the bar above his head).
Very bizarre.
Gaz Pibs said on 6/Jun/25
Devon was just measured on Brian Shaws recent video 6th June 2025, the lady measuring him , which you can see in the video, reads out 198cm/78inches , so 6ft 6inches. Brian Shaw was measured at 6ft 6 1/2.

Hey Rob, I just found a video where Devon is measured barefoot 6'6" on Brian Shaw's youtube channel:
Click Here Do you think he should be updated into that height or should we consider that as a morning measurement? I guess even if it's an early day measurement he'd be about 6'5.5" in the evening. Surprisingly tall to me. The measurement starts at 2:30 in the video, shows barefooted right before.

Editor Rob
I looked at that again:
Click Here.
There's a cut on 2.38 seconds, basically the bar jumps from on his head to above it. She seems to be calling out 6ft 6 after the cut when she's looking at the bar whilst it's not on the top of his head.
There looked more than an inch between those guys in the video.

New video on shawstrength. Devon laratt measured 198cm (6,6) barefoot and Brian shaw measured 6,6.5-6,6.75 in socks. They did a back to back and were standing straight next to each other. It appears all of the people who insisted shaw is 6,6.5-6,7 were right. As for Laratt, he's a legit 6,6

Devon's measurement at 2:30 & Brian Shaws at 4:35. Devon barefoot and Brian in socks back to back at 5:10.
What do you think of this? I believe Devon was overmeasured a bit and Brian Shaw cleary needs an updated current listing. No way it's 6ft 4.5 vs 6ft 7.25. Devon almost looks like he could be the same height as Shaw if he stood up straight when they went back to back.

Dev198 said on 6/Jun/25
In Brian Shaw's latest YouTube video, today June 6th 2025, Devon was measured at 198 cm on a stadiometer (at least that was what the woman who measured him said). I think they said Brian was 6'6.75. You have to watch the video Rob. I think Devon needs a solid upgrade.

Editor Rob
I don't think that device was touching his head, 6ft 5 is fairer.

Peak solid 6'5. Now 6'4.75 range. Remember Devon typically is barefoot or in crocs and doesn't stand at his tallest.

Hi Big Rob,
Click Here
In this short video Levan ask Devon how tall is he and he replied 195-197, Levan is suprised and said no i think more as Devon is clearly about 2inches taller.
I personaly think that Devon is 196-197cm and Levan is 191-192cm as he claimed multiple times (sometimes he round up to 193 6’4).
Okidoki said on 23/Jun/22
Actually, the video king of the table - heavy athletes. In that recent video, they are comparing each other standing side by side and Levan actually asks Devon how tall he is. He says around 6'5, 195 cm. You can check out Rob, both stand at their very tallest.
Okidoki said on 23/Jun/22
@Rob There is a video recently, the name of the video is Levan and Devon in the same room together.
In the start around the 0:35-0:40 mark, you can see Levan's footwear, also Devon's you can see not far off the end of the video. What would you say is the height difference and what is you're estimate for levan? They are having a supermatch soon, one of the greatest arm wrestling matches of all time.
I am personally rooting for Devon, as i really like the guy, both as an athlete and person.

Editor Rob
At the end seemed a couple of inches between them.

Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 14/Jan/22
weak 6'5, often seen as 6'4,5 ish guy, but i believe he's real close to 6'5 in stadiometre, because we rarely see him stands at his best stance with guys simillar height, his fellow canadian armwrestler, Matt Mask, who's a strong 6'5, often edge him out by even 1 inch, but again, they never take a photo where both stand side by side

Christian Almost 6'6" said on 2/Apr/19
Again @Christian 6’5 3/8” you disregarded my earlier messages stating I was half an inch shorter when I met Devon I actually grew taller!, also I want to point out something to everyone who has gone to this page @rob. If Devon is as short as 6’3.5-6’4” why was Devon clearly an inch taller than Marcellus Wiley, a football player measured at 6’4 3/4” mid day! Because combine measurements are made between 1-5pm! You can look up the video and there is also a couple pictures out there!
Ah I love it. People trying to make people taller to make themselves taller. Wiley was listed at 6’4” his entire career and has claimed 6’4” and was maximum that. Not sure if it was a discrepancy but either way why would Rob list a guy at 6’4.5 if he’s 6’5.75?
Keep Walking Tall Like Rop Baul said on 7/Sep/21
@Canson yeah he's not 6'4 flat lol, but a very strong 6'4. i would say almost 6'5 , since barkley used boots and Devon only in sneakers, we can't tell their difference, and barkley had a huge camera angle advantage most of the time, if you took that from him, like the clip i gave, they look in simillar height even though charles in boots

@calum
are you serious?
I have seen the clip. Barkley is on the outside of the picture, closer to the camera and he is wearing some suscpect footwear. However Barkley is not 6'4.5 - he is a guy who
lies about his height the other way, saying he is shorter than he is. Just type in Barkley with 6'3
Ben Affleck for instance, he looks like 6'7 ++, he looks extremely tall. Larrat is tall, but he has height in reserve/a relaxed posture. Because of that, he may appear shorter than he actually is.
calum macleod said on 4/Feb/21
if you watch the video with devon armwrestling shaq on TNT charles barkely is 6,4.5 feet devon looks max 6,2 probs 6,0 my guess and kenny is 5,10 and devon looks the same height as him sometimes

@Robert Stakston, jeg tror på det du sier. det ser ut som han bare har litt avslappet kroppsholdning, men egentlig er minimum 1.96 som du sier // I believe what you are saying, for me it just looks like Devon has a bit relaxed posture and has height in reserve.

@Christian: agreed. Watt actually does look close to his. I wouldn’t go much off 196cm and Manning prob a solid 6’5”. What’s odd is that Watt looks taller than Manning in their Papa John’s commercial but that’s possibly the camera angle and larger head Watt has
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 23/Aug/19
@Canson
There are a few who actually do look around their measured heights like Antonio Brown, peak Peyton Manning and arguably JJ Watt. But a good rule of thumb for athletes is to deduct at least 3/8" from their measured heights.

Christian 6’5 3/8 is absolutely correct in that it’s about an hour after waking. The NBA actually appears to be even earlier like within 30-45 minutes perhaps. Marcellus Wiley was only listed 6’4” when he played not 6’5”. As far as comparisons, Jason witten measured 6’5.75 at the combine then 6’5” flat at his Pro Day so it obviously isn’t a late measurement yet Witten chose 6’6” even tho he was a tight end and Wiley was a Defensive End where you do see 6’5 DE’s out there

Taller than Kirill Sarychev, as seen in some recent videos. I could buy 194.

@Christian Almost 6'6"
That's incorrect. Combine measurements take place early in the morning, usually around an hour after the players get out of bed.

Larratt is 6’4.5” max. Barkley is 6’5.25” range.
Yuval said on 20/May/19
Shorter then Barkley and much shorter then Shaq..

Devon looks 6ft5in.
Nik said on 9/Apr/19
Interesting job!
Canson said on 7/Apr/19
@Myself: I think Rob’s previous listing for Barkley was better than the current. At least 6’4.75 may have been a measurement he would’ve gotten like 5 hours out of bed if 6’4 5/8 was his low. But that’s “if”. He may very well have dipped below 5/8
Christian Almost 6'6" said on 2/Apr/19
Again @Christian 6’5 3/8” you disregarded my earlier messages stating I was half an inch shorter when I met Devon I actually grew taller!, also I want to point out something to everyone who has gone to this page @rob. If Devon is as short as 6’3.5-6’4” why was Devon clearly an inch taller than Marcellus Wiley, a football player measured at 6’4 3/4” mid day! Because combine measurements are made between 1-5pm! You can look up the video and there is also a couple pictures out there!
Canson said on 25/Mar/19
@Christian 6’5 3/8: Well said!
Myself said on 25/Mar/19
@Christian 6'5 3/8"
Yep, totally agree, aswell as the fact that he just stated that his eyelevel is kinda low, while Devon's probably normal.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 24/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6'6"
So not only does your evening height fluctuate, but your out of bed height does as well? And you've admitted yourself that you wake up at 6'6"-6'6.25" and drop 1.25"-1.5" at your extreme low, so that means you're sub-6'5" at your extreme low. Yet your normal low's 6'5.75"? Extreme lows and normal lows shouldn't be an inch variance for anyone, that's absurd. I don't mean any offense, but you're sounding pretty dishonest right now. You consider yourself to be 6'5.75", so that could explain why you thought Devon Larratt was 6'5" when you claimed to have met him. It could mean that you're actually somewhere around 6'4.75" and Devon's 6'4" (the height he was intially listed here by Rob before he was bumped up to 6'4.5")
Canson said on 22/Mar/19
@Christian: yea you and I both lose 3/4-2 cm. You’re an inch taller than me and we lose the same. There’s no way he only loses that little. I could see the 1.25” loss as an extreme low tho If he dipped 3/4” at a normal low since he has a long torso but 1.25 is a lot. Rob at 5’8 loses more
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 21/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6'6"
I'm not illiterate. Sorry, but one's buying your claim that you only drop 1/4"-1/2" at your normal low and drop 1.25"-1.5" at your peak low. That's way too big of a variance between a normal low and an extreme low. Plus a 6'5" 400+ lb man dropping only 1/4"-1/2" throughout the day is unrealistic. I'm only 225 lbs and I drop around 3/4".
Canson said on 21/Mar/19
Rob has never measured a full 5’9 let alone over the mark. He’s also never measured under 5’8, Christian Almost 6’6”. He has been consistent in the 5’8 7/8 being his peak out of bed and currrnt 5’8.75 and 5’8 1/8 at a normal low or a mm over which is where he is now. He’s said before that his extreme low is maybe a mm or so over 5’8”.
Christian Almost 6'6" said on 21/Mar/19
@Christian 6’5 3/8”
So you disregard my absolute low message every time, and never actually acknowledge my messages relating to why I could be that short at times. If that’s the case, then you must absolutely agree that rob is 5’7” because at a low he has measured that on camera! He has also measured above 5’9 before if I’m not mistaken.
Christian Almost 6'6" said on 21/Mar/19
Again I said that’s my absolute low. Are you illiterate? I know my real height it’s 6’5 3/4” I don’t normally see under that 99% of the time!
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6’6”: even at an extreme low, I only have ever lost maybe 2.6 or 2.7. I got down to 193.1 and don’t remember if I was 195.8 or 195.7. But typically I’m only 195.7 out of bed and 193.6-.7 at a low after I hit the gym and extreme low is usually 193.1 or 193.2. It comes out to a full inch and that’s with a combination of lifting and standing on my feet for hours afterward. But for site purposes, I claim my normal low which is 193.8 if we go off CM and 6’4.25 if we are talking inches/feet. However, some use the 5 hour standard which may put me at 6’4 3/8 (194cm flat). In real life outside of here, I only claim 6’4” on all documents and conversation. Only if I have to get specific do I go with 6’4.25 or 6’4-6’4.5 and that’s if I can tell another person is maybe weak 6’3 or weak 6’4 weak 6’5 etc claiming the full number and I edge them by half inch or so.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 19/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6'6"
Since you claim to wake up at 6'6"-6'6.25" and lose between 1.25"-1.5", then that means your low would be around 6'4.5"-6'5". Your "Almost 6'6" name's misleading.
Christian Almost 6'6" said on 19/Mar/19
@canson again that peak low is between a 1.25-1.5 inch drop, and I told you what I measured at my worst. On my feet for near 14 hours, and going into 25 reps of squats and dead’s @over 600lbs. I then measured myself at that low, but I don’t normally drop that low.
and @Christian 6’5 3/8” I have a long torso.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 18/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6'6"
Do you have a long or short torso?
@Canson
That's one of the reasons why I'm skeptical of Christian Almost 6'6"'s claims. It's not adding up. Maybe he's either mismeasuring himself, or he's miscalculating the time of day.
Canson said on 9/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6’6”: the thing is if your core were that strong, you wouldn’t be losing 1.5” even at an extreme low at the size you are. The max would probably be around an inch. Even then you’d prob still be 6’5.5 midday like Christian 6’5 3/8
Christian Almost 6'6" said on 8/Mar/19
@Christian 6’5 3/8”
That’s fair, I am able to prove my height and my height loss. I work from home, and I workout at night, so that might change why my midday height loss is not as bad, or it could be how strong my core and how good my posture is, idk. Regardless I was defending the fact that I believe Devon is at least 6’5” that’s my opinion.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 7/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6'6"
Losing only 3/8" after being up for 3-4 hours, at a weight of 400+ pounds, is unrealistic and unbelievable. Heavier people tend to lose height a bit quicker. The average person loses that amount of height in only an hour out of bed. Sorry if I may sound a bit distrusting, but there are a lot of people who lie and make stories up on the Internet, so often I'm cautious on who and what to believe.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 6/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6'6"
Something's not adding up. Someone who wakes at 6'6"-6'6.25" shouldn't be 6'5.75" by noon, especially someone who's 400+ pounds. I wake at 6'6 1/8", which is around the same as you claim to have, but I'm about 6'5.5" by noon, and I'm only 225lbs. I'm not necessarily accusing you of lying and making it all up, but you're not really convincing me either.
Canson said on 5/Mar/19
@Christian Almost 6’6”: if you wake up 6’6 to 6’6.25 and dip to 6’4.75 that is a bit odd. Your average would not be 6’5.75 either. With those stats (assuming you are what you claim out of bed), you would be the same as Christian 6’5 3/8 which would make you no more than 6’5.5 midday. Even then it’s a lot If you drop to 6’4.75 at an extreme low. to see a full inch taller at your midday height even if the former is an extreme low is a lot. Even people who lose more than the norm at an extreme low only lose about a CM more. Are you sure you measured correctly? The other Christian even wakes up the same as you and he comes to 6’5” at an extreme low like he mentioned
Myself said on 4/Mar/19
@ChristianAlmost
I think you should come up with something more believable though.
Myself said on 3/Mar/19
@Canson
The thing is that in the video with
Hafthor he didn't look about 4 cm above his eyelevel imo, like a person your height should.
Christian Almost 6'6" said on 2/Mar/19
@Canson and @Christian 6’5 3/8”
When I say I am almost 6’6” I genuinely mean that, and I don’t measure in shoes. I just turned 22, I’m 405 lbs and not super duper fat, (very large frame) but still growing (recently grew half an inch). I measure straight in the morning between 6’6” and 6’6.25 I do workout pretty consistently and on my low after 10-14 hours on my feet, and a heavy day of squats/dead’s which I do together, and I do once a week I’ve seen 6’4”.75, but that does not reflect my everyday normal of 6’5.75 by mid day. I can tell you I wear small converse shoes, and flip flops, growing up in Florida that was and is pretty normal for me. To be fair when I wrote my message Devon was listed at 6’4” even, and people were voting him at under 6’3.5! Even though the comments said otherwise @6’4”
If I reflect on my meeting with him, he probably had 0.25 sneaker on me, and I was half an inch shorter back then, so I was about 6’5.25 So I honestly could never see him under 6’5! (My opinion)
Ps. Btw I do have one pair of big boy sneakers, and when I wear it out I do occasionally bump some door frames with either my head or hair. Being somewhere in the 6’7 range with them.
TheA said on 28/Feb/19
Larratt looks 192. His 195 (or even 6'6 sometimes!) WAL listing is ridiculous. He looks much shorter than that next to Thor or Barkley. He is almost same height than the NBA show hosts who are listed 6'3.
Nik said on 28/Feb/19
It's interesting that he was described as being 6'4" in an article! 💪!
Canson said on 26/Feb/19
@Christian 6’5 3/8 and Myself: could be in shoes and also see where he said “Early to Mid Day” averaging 6’5 3/4. I doubt even in the shoes that he would be much taller than Christian would be barefoot. Maybe 1/8” or so Meaning he would come out around my height of 6’4.25-.3 barefoot if he’s measuring in shoes. Maybe 6’4.25-.5 which coincidentally is where I feel that Larratt would fall. No wonder they’re the same height lol. I doubt a guy like Larratt would downplay his height. From what I’ve seen of him he has good posture as well
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 25/Feb/19
@Rampage
That's not a bad weight at 6'4". According to the BMI chart you're overweight, but I wouldn't mind attention to the BMI system. It's BS.
@ChristianAlmost
You claimed 6'5 3/4" but I almost guarantee that's in shoes.
berta said on 25/Feb/19
good update usually looks over 6 foot 4 flat

It seems more reasonable for him.

Here's a picture I took with Devon 2 years ago
Click Here
Long time lurker here love your website, just stumbled upon this, and I can 100% say that Devon is at least 6'5.5" out of bed if not a wee bit more, met him a couple of years ago, I am about 6 foot and 1/2 in the morning, and the picture it was only an hour out of bed, so not sure about height loss, but I am 160 lbs. I can 100% assure you that anything under 6'5" is a serious downgrade to him! What do you think Rob?

Editor Rob
Well when someone did ask me back in December
Hafthor-Julius-Bjornsson-48697.html">On
Hafthor page I thought 6ft 4.5, I think I should go with that figure.
Raz said on 22/Feb/19
I’ve never seen him look below 6ft5
Christian Almost 6'6" said on 22/Feb/19
I’ve met Devon, he is actually a lot taller than people think, and even he downplays his height, he usually also hunches over a lot. If you take a moment to actually look at at a few pictures of Devon with people you already given heights for on here, you would see that he’s closer to 6’6 than he is 6’5”
Click Here Check out this picture with Michael Bisping which you’ve listed at 6’1” or 6’.5? In this picture with Michael having a more favorable frontward angle on Devon in the picture, the top of Michael’s head with hair barely reaches half way up on devon’s Nose, Devon I would say has between a 10-10.5 inch head, so Michael is 40-45% up his head. I don’t think Devon is 6’6.5 but I’ve met the guy and he was exactly my height, where I average early to mid day around 6’5 and 3/4th’s. I think Devon needs at least a 1.5 inch upgrade, and Bisping needs a 0.5 inch downgrade.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 21/Feb/19
@Rampage
Most 6'4" 225lb guys give a taller impression. Him being described as 6'5" isn't a surprise. Btw, how much do you weigh at 6'4" yourself? I remember you mentioning that you get 6'5" guesses a lot.
Myself said on 20/Feb/19
I'm not sure he is above 6'4 though.
Easterwood 6'3 said on 20/Feb/19
Probably about right. Always looks tall, even among other pro armwrestlers. Seemed tiny next to
Hafthor, though.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Feb/19
Gives a much taller impression than 6ft4
Vlad_Fyodorov said on 19/Feb/19
Rob, is 6'4.5 possible? or at least 6'4.25? I always thought he was well above 6'4.

Editor Rob
There is a chance of a strong 6ft 4
KeyboardDude1 said on 19/Feb/19
Yeah, definitely more 6ft 4 than 5. Maybe even a little bit below that but this is still fine.

Editor Rob
I thought at times maybe he can pull off over 6ft 4, but overall from looking I think maybe 6ft 4 range is ok.
Sandy Cowell said on 19/Feb/19
A professional armwrestler? I didn't know there was any such thing!
When I was 22, I beat a couple of younger guys, both 5ft10, at a public armwrestle! It goes to show you don't HAVE to be tall! My 5ft7.25 boyfriend beat two huge, well-built brothers of 6ft1 and 6ft3 at the same sport! They weren't very pleased at all! They were the local 'heavies' in every single way!
😛....💪😣
This fella, Devon, can have 6ft4.
