@Michael
What is your height at the beginning of the night? (6:00pm)
I'm about 181-181.1cm and I end up dropping to 5'11 1/8 by the end of the night.

Since we're talking about armspans as well. Mine is 195cm at almost 180cm. Could have grown taller, it's definitely an advantage in everyday life i can tell you. Probably the reason why people guess me taller than 180 and why i look 181 next to objects of known height (compared myself in front of the mirror next to a 6ft wallframe and my hair was slightly under.

Hi Rob, if Victor Wembanyama was measured 7'4, how tall does the guy on the left look? He claims 6'3 but looks way shorter.

Editor RobIt's likely not the actual guy posting.
You can find the guy on Twitter, here he is with a guy actually listed 5ft 9 Click Here...now of course listings can be wrong and the guy ain't 5ft 9, he actually claimed to be 6'1 & 1/2 .... 6'3 with basketball trainers! on twitter.
So if true, Paul Nicholson is sub 6ft.

Rob if someone falls to 182cm at a low (around 5’11 5/8”) would you call them a strong 5’11?

You look tall as well, certainly with your mate, Jimmie. 😺😁

Hey Rob. My Dad is 5ft11 at night, Mum 5ft2.5 at night and I’m 5ft11.5 at night. Did I end up within the expected normal height or more towards the higher end?

For the record I am 181cm with 93cm sitting height (51.4%, slightly long legs) and 183cm ape index (slight short arms). Not the best looking combination but nobody can really tell. Just means it’s harder to find suits that work off the rack since long sleeves usually come with long pants and vice versa. Average wingspan for my proportions and height would be 186cm, so my arms are about half an inch short.

@ Bg guy2
I actually have data for armspan too. For a white American man the average is about 1.025x longer than your height, with a standard deviation of .025x. So if your armspan and height are equal then you have a lower ape index than 85% of men your height. However it is closely related to leg length too. Average white sitting height is a bit over 52%, normal range is 51% to 53.5%. Those with around 51% usually have an ape index of 1.05x height and those with 53.5% average closer to 1.01x
For white women, 1.01x is average, for black men it is closer to 1.06x, for east Asian men it is 1.0x, Asian women are .99x, south and south East Asians for both sexes are similar to the black ratio. Hispanics are very similar to white average for their given sitting height.
So for a typical 5’10 white man with 52.2% sitting height ratio, the average is actually just under 6’ wingspan. Again, if they are leggy like Arnold (who probably had a 50-51% sitting height ratio at peak, lower now) they will probably be closer to 6’1 to 6’2 wingspan. Arnold’s wingspan is probably 6’5+. If they have long torso like Ryan Reynolds it might be 70-71 inches. Of course there are exceptions like Michael Phelps.

That's just insane, must've been a joke, right?
I do remember one time though at my former job that there was a guy who had very long-ish proportions, with a long neck, lanky body build, and a small head, who I estimated to be around 6'2 territory, 6'3 at absolute most, could look below 6'2. The boss, a guy who I estimated at around 5'4, once described him as "6'5". I just started laughing. I didn't argue against it because that would be annoying, but "6'5"? How the hell? I thought about it for a while until my only conclusion was that he exaggerated his own height by 3 inches and had convinced himself that he was 5'7 lol
Admittedly, sometimes I forget just how tall 6'2 is irl, at least for a guy like me. Most of the celebs listed on here are well-proportioned and have conventionally handsome body types and usually not a typical "tall person-face" so when I see a lanky guy with long legs and a long neck irl that looks 6'2 next to other people, I could still be biased and estimate that person as high as 6'4

My normal low is 182.5-182.4ish. Extreme low couple of mm less at 182.2-182cm. Happy to meet you one day, I live in London as well.
@Bobby
I respect your opinion, many people will identify their height as the morning height, others in the evening like me. In my opinion our low height is our REAL height because we don’t shrink further anymore.
@ZDA. I would agree with Bobby. Most measurements are taken in the morning, not directly out of bed but 1 to 4 hours out of bed so I feel it is good time to get your height measured. The argument you make that you do not shrink further and therefore your evening height is your real height does not make much sense to me. You certainly do not shrink further but you grow again at night and as we all know you need to sleep and lay at a certain point:) Some people state the maximum height that they can reach which is their out of bed height. For argument sake,It could also be considered your real height, same as your low evening height.

Could be an indication he's somewhere in between or...maybe 6ft 6 barefoot and 6ft 7 early in day (or shoes).
That’s not necessarily true. He could be 6’4 or 6’5 barefoot and claim that. I’ve seen a guy who was 6’6ish claim 6’9 once and a buddy of mine who is 6’5 1/4” stood next to him and the guy was max 1” taller than him. While that could be the reason, that’s not the only one

@Michael 181 Yup, people were undoubtedly shorter in Copenhagen in my experience. As soon I saw massive guys or women near my height in Copenhagen, they were very often talking swedish as well. I felt about the same in Copenhagen as people describing it here, but Stockholm is way off from what other people claim here.

5 ft 10.5? No, it never went up. I will show you the latest CDC Census Data done by cdc. You showed me 2011-2014 CDC Census Data. I will show you the new 2015-2018 CDC Census. Click Here
If you go to page 22, white young guys at 20-29 average at 178 cm a flat 5 ft 10 (this was conducted during the morning, so 176.5-177cm by evening 5 ft 9.5).
The average overall height of the general population 20+ is a flat 5 ft 9 or 175.3 (again done in the morning so, 5 ft 8.5 is the real average by evening)
Interestingly if you look at 20-29 age group that involves all races, this age group actually shrank to 175.8 cm compared to age group of 30-39 who measured 176.3. So Adrian the claim you made about “height is going up” or it’s increasing, are they?

@Leesheff1985: 5'1 is very short for a younger white American woman. It's at the 9th percentile.
A 9th percentile height isn't very short, just like a 91st percentile height isn't very tall. Very means at least 2 SD away from average, so for younger white women (assuming 5'5 average) very short would be more like 4'11 and down. 5'8.5 is on the other end of the spectrum at the 91st percentile, and that's definitely not very tall for young white women.

Hi Rob, I know you’ve probably gotten this question a lot, but how much does running speed up height loss during the day? I checked my height today and I seemed abnormally close to my low for a height measurement before noon (i.e., within a few millimeters) after running for an hour. I did run pretty hard, though. I was also up for about a couple hours before running.

Editor RobRunning for an hour is a fair amount of intense movement and pressure on discs, so it's no surprise you are near your low.
Running for 1-2 hours might put you at an absolute low that is 1/4 inch less than your typical low range.

@Tallish Guy
Also, I would like to clarify that I don't really think it's *likely* that you're going to grow 2 cm, but I think that's about the maximum you could grow. If you grow, it's most likely mm, like you might reach closer to flat 184 cm (like 183.8 or something)
I think I'm also a bit of a late bloomer in terms of height. I was 157-158 cm in seventh grade, 162-163 cm in eighth grade, 164-165 cm in ninth grade, 165-166 cm first year of high school, 167-168 cm second year, and now I measure 171 cm third year. Pretty much everyone in my family put on a bit after 18 (I'm 17 rn) so it really does depend on genetics

In the UK and US, 5’9 is the average. For younger guys (millenials and gen z) it’s 5’9.5-5’9.75. In some european countries like germany, poland, czech republic etc. 5’10 is probably the average.

@Tallish guy It's really rare to grow anything at age 20, even if people say that "oh men grow until their 21". Most guys still don't grow after turning maybe 19 or near 20, and generally most guys slow down around age 16. But since you mention you have the genes for late growth, I actually think you could reach as high as 185.5 cm at maybe age 22. I wouldn't expect more than that though
@James B 172 cm Whaaat? There's no way you're the same height as me and knew a 6'6.5 guy who you consider "not that gigantic". The few people I have met around that range I perceived as absolutely massive, and it was pretty clear that even their proportions made them look gigantic. I'd say pretty much everything over 190 cm, at least for me, maybe isn't "gigantic", but still very obviously big, towering people
Maybe my friend was not as tall as he claimed

I read an article about some states in the USA having high averages like 5'10-5'10.5, and maybe the average for young whites could be 179.5-180cm (just guessing), but other states with mostly white population were in the range 5'9-5'10.
But overall I agree with you, the average tends to fall in more populated and ethnically diverse places (even if the average age is not that high), if we consider the state of NY the average is 36.9 years old which is relatively young compared to average for the USA and Europe in general.
