Almost 6'8".

i believe he is juste behind 205centimeters.something like between 204-204.5
tree said on 29/Nov/19
I think his 205cm claim could be me mentioned on top,he claimed it like in 2 videos and he was listed at that height on Europe Strongest Man Click Here
At 7:40 claimed 205cm Click Here

I think Thor is a legit 6'8" (203.2cm) minimum.
Animus said on 8/Nov/19
He's certainly been 200kg. He is currently on a deload and has consequently lost weight, so he is down to a 'small' 175kg.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Nov/19
202.6cm tall
202.6kg weight
Shane Gray said on 3/Nov/19
@Danimal I agree. And that assumes Larry is 6'1" barefoot which is his claim.
Danimal 5'9 3/4" said on 25/Oct/19
He is NOT almost 7" taller than 6'1" Larry Wheels. They are both barefoot on even ground. Click Here
Thor is closer to 6'7" barefoot and Brian Shaw is 6'6" barefoot.

Magnus Samuelsson (in the middle) and 6'5.5" or 6'5 ⅜" (not sure) user "berta" (left) Click Here (Also 6'3" berta's brother on the right)
He said Magnus looked 197-198 cm to him, but he also said he may have been a little off because of the fact that he wasn't at his low yet in that occasion (so Magnus could be 196-197).

I don’t know about looking under 6’7” with Rob but I could believe for sure that he doesn’t look the 6’9” he claims. To be fair, that’s certainly in line with an athlete’s claim though

How tall is haftorh’s dad ?
Editor Rob
He never seems much smaller than Hafthor, his grandfather too is within same kind of range.
Canson said on 25/Aug/19
@Sotiris:. Lebron can look the full 6’7”. May have been that he was not a morning measurement in 03 as Carmelo Anthony also looked near his measured height of 6’6.25 peak and Keith Bogans and Kirk Hinrich could too. 193 range for Bogans 189ish for Hinrich
Sotiris Gravas said on 23/Aug/19
@Hernandez LeBron was measured 6'7.25" w/o shoes in the morning -- so there's a very good chance he's only 6'6.75".

Given that Ike Catcher looked as low as 6'6.5" w/ 6'4.5" Zlatan Ibrahimovic -- a pic I already posted, which you either didn't bother to check or simply prefer to ignore b/c it doesn't fit w/ what you choose to believe -- I fail to see how the man is 6'7.75", like you suggest.
Here's Ike w/ 6'2.5" Dolph Lundgren... Click Here Editor Rob himself said that Catcher was max 6'7" there.

As for Luke Walton, I've seen him look as low as 6'6.5" and as high as 6'7".
Here he is looking 6'7" w/ Magic... Click Here
Here, shorter... Click Here

And I have news for you, Arnie is closer to 5'10" than he is 5'11".
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 15/Aug/19
@Sotiris Gravas Not true. Lebron is 1/2 taller than Luke Walton. Lebron is 6'7 and Luke 6'6 1/2. Ike Catcher had 5'11 Arnold at close to 9" on a youtube clip, Ike is 6'7.75" not 6'7. Hafthor and Ike were about the same height or Ike might be slightly taller.
Sotiris Gravas said on 8/Aug/19
Sorry, I put Luke Walton as maybe 6'7.5", when it should have read 6'6.75" (listed 6'8); same height as LeBron James.

Ha! Someone’s telling porkies. This is how a 5’11” guy looks on me, so going on the basis that Thor’s ~6’7.75” listing is right, the other guy surely can’t even be his claim in footwear.

It’s ridiculous how massive Thor is though. He’s more than just tall.

Click Here

--------------

I looked at his profile to see a better pic, that was from a low angle to make the difference even bigger. The top of his head is near Thor's chin so he would be around 5'9" range. Thats just typical, every other 5'9" claims 5'11".

@Sotiris
Yep, nice find with the photo with Zydrunas was looking for it for ages! But my guess on Sarychev has always been 192-194.5 range max possible. A 6'4 guy imo, wether weak or flat or strong (less likely imo though).
Btw there's a video of him with Ekaterina Lisina, where she towers over him. A guy in the comments claimed that it was him to do that official measurement of Lisina and told me that he would try to ask Kirill to do it with him aswell.

He has a longer forehead than Brian Shaw and consistently look more than half an inch taller imo. And Brian is nowhere near 6'8 at his low, I'm pretty sure he must be around 6'6.75.

Great shot here of Thor and Rory McCann side-by-side.

Rory’s posture suggests he’s actually very similar height to Thor, if they were both standing straight.

Swede2 said on 21/Mar/19
I may have to get artifial disk in the future but its not that bad yet. @rob I want to mention some things about measuring your height. In mine opinion a person should always stand in the position that gives there highest height when measured. Do you agree?. For example when being a big guy as myself I kneed a longer arm om the stadiometer to get the correct height. Other wise my measurement gets lower then it is cause cant keep a proper "stand tall position" if I stand to close to the wall. Also the "crown" of my head actually measures a fraction lower then if I look up and measure more to the front of my head. Whats your thougts on this things? Should one not always wanna measure there max height?. Best regards
Myself said on 19/Mar/19
@Swede2
What if you get an artificial disk implant in L5S1? You will re-gain some height and have fewer back problems!
@Ben Bell
Uhh...what happened that led to your problems?
Miiiiiiighty_- said on 19/Mar/19
@berta : 100 % correct about Big Z, he is over 6'3, source : I met him too and I was actually surprised, didn't expect him to be that tall..
He is a very strong 6'3 range
Ben Bell said on 17/Mar/19
@swede2
Similar here, lost an inch roughly at 42. Really feel around people I haven’t seen in 10 years.
Had spinal fusion surgery at L5 S1 and my SI joint has fused over time.
Always thought Hafthor was 6’9. Probably around 6’8. A monster of a man.
Swede2 said on 17/Mar/19
Yes symptoms have been backproblems and pain on and off since my early twenties. Have been an elite athlete in strengthsport since my teens and its just part of that life. Yes have herniated discs and arthoritis in lower back. The height loss I noticed when I was over 30 but I always lost about 1 inch from morning to night. No remorse its a good life to be strong and everything with sport has a risk.
Myself said on 15/Mar/19
@Swede2
Wow...in such a short amount of time...do you have herniated discs and DDD? Did you feel any symptoms? How fast was the loss? Did it happen very quickly of just over time? You used to reach your ultra low very often?
That's bad to hear...did you feel any remorse for something you did wrong about it or at the end of the day it was worth for all the lifting? Or maybe you just had a bad incident?
Swede2 said on 14/Mar/19
@myself Im 35 and I was about 1cm taller in my twenties. Xray shows my L4 and L5 are compressed with smaller gap between vertebrae then the rest. I have always been heavy and have always been lifting heavy weights so thats probably the reason.

@Swede
A guy like Hafthor's height and weight can lose easily 2.5cm throughout the day, or even 3cm. But I highly doubt 4cm unless if it's an extreme low.
Swede2 said on 5/Mar/19
Thank you for answering @rob!. And people giving their height in sneakers are a bit crazy I think but I beleive you 😀👍
Charlie said on 4/Mar/19
If Hafthor would be only 202,6 cm then Brian Shaw isnt near 202 cm. Look at this pic from the weekend, even Brians hunching head dosnt make up for at least an inch of difference. So either Thor really is over 204 or Shaw is way below 202 cm, thats for sure.

Swede2 said on 3/Mar/19
@rob do you take in consideration that he might give hes morning height when he claims 205cm?. He could easy shrink 3-4cm in day. I always give my morning height wich is a bit over 182cm these days(use to be 183cm) and I once shrank 3cm from morning 182,5 to evening after heavy lifting 179,5cm. Im also a Strongman but only about 130kg compared to Hafthor 180-200kg so he should be able to shrink more when both much taller and heavier.
Editor Rob
He could have measured the height he claimed, earlier in the day. Some folk also measure in sneakers and think nothing of giving that height.

It’s very rare to find someone of this size and physique Rob. I would find him very intimidating even for me, I’m 6’ 3” and I’m taller than the majority of people I meet. Do you think he could be 6’ 8” instead? This guy is just massive, I can’t see him being anything below that.
Editor Rob
I did mention In a video about the chance of Hafthor being near 6ft 8.

I still go with thelisting I have him at, I remember when I got a photo not long after a friend who is a six footer, and he was over 7 inches, possibly 8 taller.

Hafthor said he loses over an inch between morning and night, which is very reasonable taking into account his long spine and heavy lifting.6'9 in the morning and a bit below 6'8 in the evening

Yuval said on 12/May/18
Brian shaw is at least 6'7..thor can be 6'7.5 really depends what kind of lifting they did that day lol..they lose an inch+ on a regular training day.

Nah...they won't lose that much height. LOL
Myself said on 1/Nov/18
Rob, do you think he could have already lost a small fraction or/and lose additional height in the following years?
How can anybody possibly remain the same after putting the spine under so extreme stress that often? I understand that he is strong (the strongest man in the world now actually!) but still, he's often not doing lifts in his comfort zone (like all competitive strongmen)...I think transferring part of the stress on the spine at those levels is pratically assured and necessary to be able to achieve outstanding results (even without considering occasional incorrect form that may happen)...

I'm quite surprised by Zydrunas Savickas though, he doesn't appear to have lost anything and is 43, after decades of competing and with many victories behind (and in front, i hope!) him!
Editor Rob
I don't know if he's lost anything noticeable.

He is literally the worlds strongest man yet he still feels he has to inflate his height.
Any of you guys remember when he was in uk strongest man competitions and was listed at 210cm?
He was only 24 years old,his weigh was listed at 160-170,definitley not near 190kg like nowadays,he gained alot of mass since than.

The chart shows a 28cm difference,so more like 201cm but Hafthor could be dropping a little height.Would be interesting if Rob had the chance to compare him to Peter Crouch.They can be at the same mark despite Hafthor being like 250Lbs heavier.

Hey Rob. Some time ago somebody linked here the photo of Julius and Bradley Martyn, and you said that the claim of the latter, 6'3, looks legit. Maybe you are right but i have my doubts by looking some videos and other photos. He looks max 6'2 to 6'2.25 to me.
Here he is with 5'8 Jay: Click Here
With Calum von Moger, that claims to be 6'2 and even 6'3 Click Here Click Here but doesn't look too much taller than nowadays Arnold Click Here Standing at his tallest Click Here
I guess Calum at about 6'1 to 6'1.75 max and Bradley between 6'1.5 to 6'2.25, 6'2.5 max.
I gotta ask the expert! What would your guess be for them, Rob? How tall does Kirill look to you, considering your guess? Click Here I think he is between 192/193 to 195, 196 at max.

Is this also the kinda comment you would consider out of topic/spam?
Editor Rob
In some photos there he can look 6ft 2
Canson said on 29/May/18
@Rob: 6’7.5 may be a better listing for him. He actually looks what Christian says below 6’7.25-.5 tops in the height chart. He doesn’t look anything close to 6’8”
Editor Rob
In person though, I think 6ft 7 would be too low, anywhere between 6ft 7.5-8 I believe is arguable.
Duhon said on 20/May/18
This is Hafthor next to Oliver Richters. Is it safe to say Richters looks a strong 7' here? Click Here
Editor Rob
With nearly 6ft 8 Hafthor, I think Oliver has to be over 7ft there.

Brian shaw is at least 6'7..thor can be 6'7.5 really depends what kind of lifting they did that day lol..they lose an inch+ on a regular training day.

Brian Shaw is no less than 6ft7 and Thor at worst is 6ft7.5
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 9/May/18
@Danimal

I think Shaw's a solid 200cm. I can't see him as low as 6'6". He edged out a 199-ish Braun Strowman if you consider his camera disadvantage Click Here
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 9/May/18
@Lanky

There's no need. 6'7.75" is more than enough, as he looks 6'7.25" if you click at the height chart. He's about 6'7.25"-6'7.5" like how the Average Guess has him.
Editor Rob
I think he probably will measure closer to 8 than 7 in all probabilities.
Danimal 177 said on 8/May/18
6'7.5" guy. He refers to himself as 6'8" in MANY interviews. I'm seen him been given a height of 202cm in the past at a couple of competitions. Brian Shaw is max 6'6" (his 6'8" listing was from his basketball days in big basketball sneakers) and even Terry Hollands is really around 6'3" which was his listed height at the 2005 WSM compeition. He was also called out at 6'4" at the 2010 WSM pre-contest exhibition, yet has in recent years been given a 6'6" height listing. They are all given boosts in height like in wrestling. Even Big Z was listed at 6'2" in his early years and later 6'3". Mark Felix was billed at 6'4", but as of last year they started giving him a 6'1" listing at the WSM.

World's Strongest man now ( Officially) . He is not over 6'7 BY the way. Rob's Picture proves that.

Not that it matters b/c whether is 6'7 or 6'9, he would Crush any of us here. Lets not forget that now.

Was watching the awards ceremony for the 2018 Arnold Classic and Thor was stood alongside Brian Shaw. Thor looked to have a legit 1 inch + advantage over him, and he absolutely towered over the other 6ft 3/4 competitors.

I really don’t think 6’9” is out of the question for a ‘good day’ measurement.

6’9 barefoot? Nope, he’s looks 6’7.5....maybe 6’8 right out of bed but that’s questionable. Forget 6’9 lol

He claims 192kg or 423 pounds here and he really looks that heavy:

He probably drops about 20kg or 45 pounds when he is not competing, but is is definitely above 400 pounds during the strongman season.
Duhon said on 15/Feb/18
This is Hafthor back to back (barefoot) with 6' 276 lbs bodybuilder Stan Efferding. He easily looks 400 lbs here. Click Here
ManKo said on 14/Feb/18
He has to be over 400 pounds, no way he is only 350 pounds. I have a lot of friends who are amateur powerlifters/ strongman and many are close to 300 pounds, but they are much shorter than Bjornsson.

Besides if he were just 350 pounds he would not be able to deadlift 1000 pounds, and there are many videos of Bjornsson deadlifting that amounts. Your 6'7 is he overweight or very strong / muscular too?
Carson said on 10/Feb/18
I live in Finland, especially this time of the year dont go out often but when I do, its not uncommon to spot taller people I'm 6'4" myself and the other day bumped into a guy who was at least (a real) 6'10/11" FYI but also very bulky not lanky at all.
I've a friend who is 6'7" and almost 400lbs and many other in 6'7" 6'8" range not as heavy but you get the picture.
I don't believe Bjornsson is actually over 6'7" and certainly not 400lbs maybe around 350 pounds
Josh Jeffords said on 10/Feb/18
Think its actually a fair claim 6 7 .75 is a big shoe away from 6 9 we are not likely to see many folks even vikings out and about barefoot.
Hope he wins next year wsm and then gets into some more movies he is very charismatic for a giant.
ManKo said on 7/Feb/18
Carson where do you live that you see 6'8 420 pounds guys on daily basis?
Tall Sam said on 7/Feb/18
@Carson, I don't know if you're referring to height or bulk or what area you live in but I live in Philadelphia and am a bit under 6'5" and very rarely see someone appreciably taller than myself, maybe once every few weeks or in a month I'd see 6'7"-6'9" guys but yeah that's rare. I'm curious what region one would daily encounters guys over 6'8"! I see a fair deal of people who probably weight north of 300 pounds but usually they're morbidly obese.
BIG PETE 6'9 1/2" 387 lbs said on 6/Feb/18
Guys he has always said his 2.05 meters which is 6'8 3/4" theres no noticeable difference of 1 quarter of an inch without a measurement tape in shoes no dough his about 206.5 meters but my personal believe is that in a good day in the morning his 2.05 meters probably by night 2.02-2.03 meters remember this guy weight 185-200 kg thats lots of pressure in someones spine, also he was listed 2.08 meters once when he was about 40 kg lighter.
Carson said on 4/Feb/18
I see bigger dudes around here almost daily basis don't get fooled by claims, Martyn Ford can't be 6' 8" either he is as tall as Hulk Hogan, as for Bjornsson's yes probably around 6'7" no more.

Sorry but Hafthor looks at the very most 6'7.5" next to Rob. And the difference between him and Strowman is bigger than just an inch because Hafthor's leaning a lot. Click Here
Tarinator 6'1.75 said on 11/Jan/18
I would go with the full 6’8”. Wouldn’t rule it out as he looked taller than Strowman by 1 inch even though they are around the same size. His eyeline hits 6’2” and his chin maybe at 5’8.5” so I would suppose he isn’t anything shorter than a good 6’7.25” although I do wonder why his head is 10.75” long. Seems about 1 inch bigger than yours. Undertaker and Kane would probably edge him out in their peak but now they would be the same height as him or a little shorter.

I have just watched this guy performing on Europe SM 2017, as shown on UK Television. He's a really imposing figure, but very athletic and fast with it, and a magnificent specimen.

I think Thor is in the daily variable range of 6'8 to 6'9, and thus he balances out a whole foot taller than me!
I concur that he would be excellent in wrestling with his frame. And Rob, it's for such men as these, that I really envy you your job! If you need an assistant in the UK, let me know!

Oliver Richters is not a doubt a giant but he was no taller than Big Show whem they met and seemed between 4-5-inches than Thor when they met. I see him no taller than 7-foot, which still is impressive.

I believe Thor would be taller than Martyn Ford if they met; Martin seems more of a 6'6 individual. ----

Those pics of Olivier and Big Show have a serious problem in getting heights.

That being Big Show is purposely out angling Olivier.

Big Show has himself an entire body space closer to a camera that is pointed upward toward them.

Olivier could still be a lot taller than Big Show if the were back to back.

In the second picture, where they're looking at each other you can see that even though Big Show is a full body space closer to the camera, he is looking up at Olivier. Big shows head is clearly leaned back and Oliver is clearing looking down at Big Show.

Also in a recent photo on Adam Scherr's IG he is with Hafthor. Hafthor has around 2-3" on Adam, and Olivier has more than that on Hafthor. Adam Scherr is only 3-4" shorter than Big Show.
berta said on 2/Dec/17
just want to tell you guys i meet 4 times world strongest man Žydrūnas Savickas today and was a little shocked about his height. i thought he like everyone else i meet was shorter thn the listed height buut he is listed as 191 and i thought he looked minimum 191 but was probably 192 cm tall. my brother is barely 191 about 190,5 cm and he was little littel taller than my brother. i have photots of both him and me and him and my brother but they are pretty bad because he is standing 10 cm in front of us so i guess he gets a little advantage in the photos.
shoe said on 2/Dec/17
Rob, wouldn´t you say the picture above is at a little bit wrong angle, slanting a bit to the right, thats why people guess 6 foot 7 according to the line? He definitely seems taller than 6 foot 7 with Joe Manganiello. I would guess 6 foot 8.25 inches.
Alex 6'3 said on 29/Nov/17
Rob, I imagine that when we see Bjornsson during strongman events is less than 202 cm due to lifting weights..right?
Editor Rob
after one of these competitions they certainly will be at extreme low's.
Johno said on 28/Nov/17
People need to remember, that strongmen gbulk up coming into strongman events. He weighed close to 200kg at the WSM17 and looked it, he obviously slimmed down 10-20kg since then. Whilst eating and training hard, vitamin S helps to gaining rapid weight but whilst they come they come off their supplements, they lose some weight.
kurtz said on 27/Nov/17
edit 202 cm.
Johno said on 26/Nov/17
This guy should really give wrestling a go one day, some where down the line. I can really see him winning WSM 2018 and he may want to consider a career from there forth.

I know Eddie Hall is scheduled to make a WWE appearance in some form and his movement would be some what similar to Mark Henry's but Thor seems pretty agile and mobile with the right combination of size and strength not too disimilar to Strowman except bigger and slightly taller although i doubt he could cut a good promo in native english.

Martyn Ford is 6ft8 and only 145kg I wonder how can Thor weighs 55kg more than him,they look about the same size.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing he's that heavy. I might have bought 400lbs.

The most "biggest" and most muscular guy out there seems to be former strongman turned bodybuilder, Morgan Aste who is around ~6'3 but got on the scales and weighed 160kg at less than 10-percent bodyfat.
Johno said on 11/Nov/17
The most i have seen him weigh on the scale was around 195kg when he got on the scales just before WSM 17.

The thing is, i believe he carries a lot of mass on his thighs and calves too so his weight might not be that obvious.

Look at his photos with Oliver Richters, the Dutch Giant, who is a little bit below 7'2". Then compare them with richters photos with Martyn Ford, who is also massive and looks a legit 6'8". Bjornsson looks taller than Ford in the photos despite the fact that he is leaning in the photo. Therefore I don't really believe any claim that he is below 6'8", unless Martyn Ford is shorter than 6'8", but look at the dude he's massive.

Fredrik 6f midget said on 10/Oct/17
Its not a big deal to be tall in Nordic countries, and considered pathetic to lie about your height. In fact; in Norway kids or teens who are growing to be to tall, get growth inhibitors systematicly (especially girls). I don’t think there is any reason to believe Hafthor is exaggerating his height of 206m. This picture says nothing about posture, footsoles or time of day. I weigh barely 120kg (250 pounds) and even I am noticeably shorter in the evenings.

That's very interesting!
The commentator said hafthor has told him to shrink more than an inch through the day since he is so heavy.
Over 6'9 in the morning and 6'8 in the evening.
Seems like hafthor knows the fact of morning and evening height. I think sportsman like him who weights far more than 400 pounds through competition months and less than that through the other months have to know everything about their body stats for health reasons. I am sure they have to measure him a lot.

Probably he really was over 6'8 when he was younger and thinner but now due to his weight he can shrink to a fraction under it but still could be measured over 6'9 in the morning.
That's totally realistic and the fact that he described it so precisely makes it more believable.

Mane could look extremely tall up close, granted there was a good difference in sneaker, I would say he certainly looked at least as tall as hafthor...who of course is also very tall, he's taller than Nairn today up close!

nairn 4-5 years ago - when he could still stand tall - looked taller than hafthor.

Thor is nearer to the cam than Bill Walton. Bill Walton has more shoe in this picture.
Going by the lines here in the pic with Rob, I would say Thor is 200cm max. That would put Bill Walton to 205 or 206.
That's realistic. Their claims don't matter als long we have these lines from Rob.
These lines are not lying.

Rob - I am quite surprised that you state his height as 6 foot 7.75 as he is clearly a foot taller than you. For example, his head alone would be 11+ inches not just 10 inches as shown in the scale. Your head is also clearly an inch below the bottom of his head (11 inches of his head + 1 inch = 12 inches). He is easily 6 foot 8 at the minimum.

@Shane: I sorta understand where you come from with the argument but many outside here don't know that method and many also don't give it a thought to go out of their way to measure themselves waking up (except us nuts here on celebheights!!!). I can see the appearance of height but the number itself that one claims is just that a claim. Guess it all depends on ones perception of how tall 6'2" really looks. Me personally unless with maybe a bit more footwear that isn't noticeable I'd guess you 6'1" maybe 6'1.5 (since we're close to 3" apart) but at that point I'd just say he's probably rounding up which most people at that point do in fairness. Depends on what time others measure I guess too as to what they will claim

@Rob: I Agee with that on compression. No doubt. I guess it's just different philosophies. I believe true height is the tallest height one can measure barefoot.

Drax said on 24/May/17
How many inches is that between y'all rob?
Editor Rob
pretty near 12 inches.

He has claimed to be 6'8" in interviews. Imo, he's max 6'7.5". Brian Shaw claims to be 6'8", yet is around 6'6" legit. I can keep going regarding the World's Strongest Men competitors.

Yeah, Brian Shaw is not 6'8" as he claims. He's shorter than Hafthor who is himself under 6'8"
I'd say Brian at best is 6'7", but he is likely 6'6.5"
Arch Stanton said on 17/Apr/17
His diet is insane, like half a kilo of fish or meat every two hours, his intensines are permanently digesting food. He eats 6 kg of food a day and nearly 1 kilo of pure protein. Like The Rock, what he eats is generally healthy, generally meat/fish, eggs and greens, but it's incredibly excessive when you need to eat huge meals every two hours to maintain body mass. He's what, 30 stone now?

Hey Rob, do you think 6'9" is possibly his morning measurement?
Editor Rob
yes, it is very possible.

420-450 pounds??? Extremely unhealthy. He's putting his life at major risk getting that big. Over 350 pounds is already too big, but 450 is asking for an early grave.

Yes it is. My buddy, who is naturally a big guy, weighed 301 lbs at his heaviest(5'10.5" tall). His doctor told him he needed to get down to 200lbs at most. He dropped to
250lbs, but has a long way to go. The weights that some of these guys are is just too much for good health.
Oanh said on 14/Apr/17
Rob, I always thought Hafthor looked taller than Brian Shaw(6'8"?). Do you think Brian could be 6'7"?
Editor Rob
yes there is a chance shaw could be a bit smaller than Hafthor, how much is debatable....

Well there isn't an inch and a half between Thor and Shaw and Shaw has 2+ inches easy on Ralf Moeller in photos so either Ralph is shorter than you claim or Shaw is taller...

yeah,here is Eddie and Big z Standing right next to each other with good posture Eddies easily 2 inches shorter than Z

6'1 range for Eddie would probably be about right

Big Z has also been given 6'2" listings earlier on in his career. Eddie is MAX 6'1".

According to James B, Hafthor shouldn't be anything over 220 pounds :-).
Arch Stanton said on 6/Apr/17
How old is Hafthor's granddad? 207 cm is about 6'9.5. He currently looks about 6 ft 7. I doubt he was ever a legit 6'9.5, possibly he got measured at that in his prime in shoes and was more 6'8.5. His father looks like he could have been a strong 6'8 when younger too. How many guys could claim to have a 207cm grandad who is 6 ft 7 even in old age LOL? One in 100 million?
Arch Stanton said on 6/Apr/17
His dad looks like a giant Adolf Hitler LOL. Can't see any facial resemblance to his dad but you can see that his height is clearly genetic!
Supermanfan380 said on 5/Apr/17
During the announcing of Europe's strongest Man this year Colin Bryce mentioned that Hafthor told him he wakes up at 6'9" in the Morning but his extreme body weight causes him to lose over an inch throughout the day. Actually everyone loses height throughout the day. Anyhow Hafthor has a long torso in relation to his height, and likely very thick vertebra as well. The Cushioning between the bones is probably also thick, and there is a lot that can compress throughout the day, so I see this as very plausible. This would also make Rob's estimate pretty spot on when he met Hafthor.

6'9" morning and just a pinch under 6'8" by noon.
Editor Rob
it is believable he is 6ft 9 on wakening.
Duhon said on 31/Mar/17
This is Harthor with his dad and uncle I believe Click Here How tall do you estimate them to be?
Johno said on 13/Mar/17
Depends on what angles your viewing Shaw and Thor; at the Arnolds and on many occassions on the stage where Shaw and Thor brushed past each other and Thor looked larger. I know he measured his weight at 195kg a few backs on the scales with shoes on and then he later he stated 205kg; so he is somewhere between 195kg - 205kg and Shaw has never put his weight above these boundaries.

If you look closely, Thor has noticeably larger calves and thighs, so this is where the extra weight might be.
A Man said on 10/Mar/17
Thor and Shaw look the same height there. Thor usually comes out about half an inch taller.

It wouldn't surprise me if Thor weighed 452 lbs at the moment. You can tell he's put some mass on, he's got a belly now. It does make me wonder what Brian's weight actually is. He always claims 420-430 lbs when he's competing but he looks heavier than Thor. It wouldn't surprise me if he was up in the 470-480 range in reality.
ManKo said on 6/Mar/17
He seens to be as tall as Brian Shaw in this picture (here Shaw is slighly taller but he is wearing higher shoes too)

He has now a bodyweight of 205 kg or 452 lbs
Baks89 said on 4/Mar/17
Ive always wondered if lifting some of largest weights in the world would result in early adulthood shrinkage for guys thors and shaws height.
Rob do you think these guys could end up shrinking in their early 30's? I myself lift 200-250kgs on a weekly basis so i am interested if theres been any studies done.
I think hathor wakes 6'9 and ends up about 6'7 at his low
Editor Rob
I think by late 30's some big lifters might suffer, through wear and tear or 1 disc having damage.

Remember a guy like Tom Daley at 21 was saying how he has disc bulge and degeneration in another because of his training, and he's a diver, not lifting big weights, but rotation elements caused him problems.
Ice said on 10/Feb/17
ROB what are youre foughts on Eddie Hall beeing listed at 187 cm ?
Editor Rob
ice, I'd certainly say 187-8 range is more likely than 190cm range.
NIck said on 4/Feb/17
Movie star and steroid user?! great combination to for inflated height :) its very peculiar Hafthor is standing there 200cm in shoes, that makes him, just little less barefeet maybe around 198cm
pukpuke said on 3/Feb/17
He maybe lost 2 or 3cm because of extreme weight training

205cm could be his original morning height before the strongman

Flat 6'7 (200cm) for sure

as u can see, rob is not standing straight.

and rob is flat 5'8
Lambo said on 30/Jan/17
Yeah no way is Eddie the 6'3" he claims. Big Z is 6'3 and Eddie looks around 6 foot compared to him. Definitely a lifts wearing kind of guy.
Yas said on 28/Jan/17
I'd give Eddie 6'1. Shahlaei at 6'2 has an inch on him.
Randomdude said on 25/Jan/17
Rob how tall do you think Eddie Hall is?

personally I would say 6'2
Editor Rob
sure he claimed 6ft 3, but might be a 6ft 3 in sneakers guy.
Vegas said on 22/Jan/17
Richters looks about 6'11.5-7 foot range to me

Schilt and Struve are only billed that. I don't remember Schilt being that much taller than Jan Nortje who himself didn't look all that much taller than matt bloom (Albert, Tensai, Giant Bernard) whom I have met in person

Angles are so strange sometimes, look at these photos...




Semmy Schilt and Stefan Struve Click Here Click Here

Semmy Schilt and Oliver Richters Click Here

Big Show and Oliver Richters Click Here



And they are all, similar in height...




If you notice in the Photos with Big Show, Show has himself positioned a lot closer to the camera than Olivier. Also, if you notice in the photo of them talking to each other, Olivier is looking down, and Show up. This looks like a good case of Show out angling. Wrestlers are well aware that in a photo with a taller person they need to get closer to the camera. Those photos are not so good for telling height differences. Good example of this is the 3 guy picture with Hafthor, Ragnar Nathanaelsson, and Egill Jonasson. You would think Ragnar was the taller, but in actually it is Egill my 1cm.
berta said on 10/Jan/17
dont think he is mutch taller than 200 meter 202 is max i think could he be only 201?
