Rob, what would be a specific and accurate height listing (TV version) for the current Gregor Clegane (Robert Strong played by Thor) when he's in his full Kingsguard Armour from helmet to heel next to Cersei (5' 5") and the other people in certain scenes?

Editor Rob They portray him as tall as possible in gear, like a 7 footer.

I saw a strongman video where he claims 6'8''. 6'9'' is probably a listing in shoes from when he played basketball. both his father and grandfather are around the same height which I think is pretty need. he was encouraged to do strongman after being spotted in the gym by an icelandic strongman legend who said he had the biggest bone structure he had ever seen

Yeah 'just because', I saw that on The World's Strongest Man. Considering Thor's height and huge body weight I find it believable that he could drop over a inch through the day. So his claim of 6'9'' (out of bed) may be true.
It's such a shame he missed out on the title yet again; he has the required massive strength, but just needs to work on his technique and application.

@ Duhon
I'd agree with that. I'm the same age as him (a couple of months older in fact), and when I found out he was actually younger than me I couldn't believe it. Looks easily in his late 30s.
Same with Eddie Hall though, he's only 6 months older than Thor and he looks well into his 30s as well. Part of it's due to the size of them, but the lifestyle must surely provoke accelerated aging as well.

Richters only looks 7' there with the tallest guy from NL. 3 inches difference.
Next to Big Show I would have said 7'1" and if that Schelts guy is 6'10" then again he looks 7'1".
I saw a few more pics with Hafthor and to be honest it looks more 5 inches difference.
So Hafthor at 6'7" would make Richter 7'0 and 6'8" would be 7'1".
So the listing here is good, Richter could fall between 7' and 7'1". Ofc a big guy like that probbaly wakes easily at the 7'2" mark so its not like he is lying.

Khali here was probably at his largest and he had some massive legs to; probably around 170-180kg at less than 10% bodyfat and a legit 7'0 or so, was probably the most largest muscular man ever. Some were taller and some heavier but for share combination, i reckon he was hard to beat.
Big Show and Andre would have been close but if they had to cut, i doubt they ever had more pure muscle mass than Khali.

Mr Richter is certainly impressive. He seems to be filling out his height and that is pretty difficult for his height. He does not look to far off The Great Khali's bodybuilder days and he seems just as tall, maybe slightly shoter than Khali. Khali still the tallest/largest bodybuilder ever. He used to have madive legs aswell as upper body when he was in his 20s but obviously due to his condition he could not train legs later on.

Richter looked a good 4-inches or so shorter than Netherland's tallest man who is 7'3 or 7'4 i think?
Sammy Schelts is nowhere near his listed height of 6'10; these K1,Pride heights were/are usually way-off; more so than Hollywood at times.

That Oliver Richters was the same height as Big Show when they met so that 7'2 listing is out for him, more like 7'0 max possibly less. As you can see, he is taller than Thor.

Dude is massive I watch Stong man and he is tallest of any real competitors in years.
Pretty sure he is listed at 203 cm which looks to correspond to 6 7 .75 Worlds Strongest Man
Thats weird he is now 416lbs and 6 9 who knows maybe he is growing..
He is taller than Brian shaw who claims 6 8 but looks under 6 7.
They claim an average of 6 3 and he ##$$$!# towers most like 6 ftrs or less.
These guys are always hurting their back and legs so he wont be that tall for long.
Should watch him try to do regular sports it hilarious!
Hope he makes it to real cinema always had a crazy theatrical presence.

Doubt WSM lie, they don't have to, unlike wrestlers. Brian Shaw is a legit 6'8" and Thor is slightly taller in some match ups in WSM. 2015 deadlift round they congratulate each other and Thor is definitely ~1" taller. Oberst is considerably shorter than both and probably 6'6".
Terry Hollands lives literally 15 mins down the road from me Medway UK, have been to his gym and Terry is a legit 6'6, and again, some WSM rounds Terry is next to Thor. He is 6'8 minimum.

Its possible ofc considering the listing. Funny thing is Hafthor has claimed numerous times 6'8" and was also listed 203 cm during his basketball days but they still insist on him being 6'9" - 206 cm.
His country uses metric and he has never claimed 206 cm , its always been 203- 204 cm.

Ok, thanks for the reply
Videos like this are very good to catch attention.
"Versus Videos" or "Top10 Videos" seem to be very popular in modern culture :D
Maybe in future you could fill them with more content although it's just a hobby.
Isn't the comparison with this two pictures a bit unfair?
You're standing much better with Thor then with Nairn. Big Bad Johns pictures show that there wasn't a 2inch differnece between them,
even back in the days when Nairn could stand his full height.
I think that your estimate about Thor is very accurate. 202 - 203 cm is my guess also by going through many comparisons and no lower than that.
And for Nairn max 206cms a few years ago (maybe taller than that in his younger years) and a few inches shorter than that today.
Editor Rob
The listings on this site are basically still more what I am thinking, in videos (which are just a little bit of visual entertainment and I wanted to keep quite short) you can say a person looks over a certain height range...
it's also a way to reuse some older content.

The lines are a guide, but in many cases I feel are pretty accurate, in other cases though a celebrity can look shorter/taller than they suggest.
I do think he is over 6ft 7, but maybe not a full 6ft 8.

@Declan,
I think Robs Guess seems very accurate.
I also met him once even though I was not close to him. He seems very very tall and large.
But you have to admit that a man who is almost 6'8 is very tall.
Surely he wakes around 6'9 or more, but I think due to his mass he could shrink to 6'7.75.
The lines show him as 6'7.25 but like Rob already said: It's just a guide and in real life and on photos wihth taller people (6ft+) he seems close to 6'8 to him.

Thor when he first came on the scene at wsm was billed at 6'10, and now at 6'9. I've met Thor and he is atleast 6'9 no doubt. He is very wide and muscular which isn't typical of such a tall guy, that's why people are trying to rob him of a few inches lol!

I take it that he's still behind the mask as Franken-mountain in the current GOT season...I was thinking for a moment they had Whyte step in again (he's now credited for digitally capturing Wun-Wun the northern giant). They do a good job making Thor seem even taller than he really is in crowd scenes.

Would you compare his size and physique with people like the Big Show or King Kong Bundy?
He doesn't appear as big or almost as big as them. He is a big dude, but not a giant whale or an elephant.
Although, he does appear he could look 6ft7.5 barefoot, and if he stood taller than he is in this photo, possibly 6ft8, but I wouldn't go anything above that.

he was actually 185kg, when he won the Arnold Classic Brasil a few weeks ago. This is more than 400 pounds.
And to his height.
You can not go only by Robs Helplines.
With taller people, le looks at least 6'7.5. Even nearer 6'8.
6'7 1/2" is maybe the lowest for him, but surely not under it.

he was actually 185kg, when he won the Arnold Classic Brasil a few weeks ago. This is more than 400 pounds.
And to his height.
You can not go only by Robs Helplines.
With taller people, le looks at least 6'7.5. Even nearer 6'8.

I think he is about 6ft7, and with his hair makes him look about 1/2 an inch taller than he actually is. If he was more than 6ft7, forget it his head isn't more than 10 inches. By the way rob, but we're his legs and knees slightly bent when this photo was taken. Lol, he says he is 379lbs, which is more honest than what other affiliations list him as. Yea, I doubt his more than 400lbs, no way.

Jackson Martinez- well to be fair Hathor reaches 6'7.5 under the helplines but that is with the 'slight' help of his cm thick hair.
If he had shaved his hair of he defo would look no higher than 6'7 or maybe 6'7.25 under the lines.

Wow, I always though he was a legit 6'9.
Rob's generally spot on with his height estimates, this one is quite surprising.
He's still a monster of epic proportions.
I'm surprised how much height had on Triple H. I wonder if Triple H has lost height with age, I always pegged him at a throng 6'2 but he looks around 6'1 these days.

"I can't make-out any real difference in height between him and 6'8" listed Brian Shaw" thats because Thor is standing with wider legs spread, he is taller than shaw. So if shaw is 203 cm wich he prob is, thor is around 205 wich seems legit...

There have always been giants in strongman. Back to Phil Pfister 10 years ago, and Magnus Samuelsson and Janni Virtanen a bit further than that, and Nathan Jones and Ted Van Der Parre even further than that.
I get what you're saying but I think these things just go in cycles. Someone like Mariusz or Ver Magnusson can dominate again.

John, I'm not saying the shorter guys cannot still be competitive.
The point is that the really tall guys, if they have thick enough bones, can potentially hold so much heavier body weight that they can eventually eclipse the shorter guys on static strength, or come very close. Combined with the dynamic events which favor Tall men will be enough to will overall, and even in the AC 3 of 5 events are virtually always heavy Dynamic events – Frame uphill carry, Yoke, Stone, Throw for height, 1 arm Dumbell (more dynamic than it looks).
There reason they did not become as competitive until recently was that taller men were not able to fill out as much. It also isn’t just Shaw and Thor, they may be the tallest, but other guys in the 6’4”+ range are a dime a dozen in this sport. You got guys like Jerry Pritchet DL over 950 and OHP over 450 as well. Guys like this still have room for more muscle as well.
That is the issue, the shorter guys literally run out of skeletal room for more muscle. When you look at a guy like Eddie Hall (who is over 6ft himself), compared to Thor Bjornsson, which of those two guys clearly looks like you could add another 50 pounds of muscle to him still?
Thor, obviously, his height is not just longer arms and legs, but he has thicker bones, bigger hands, and a larger torso with larger internal organs. Eddie Hall is closer to his own Genetic limit in terms of adding any significant amount of muscular bodyweight, and his static strength at this point it is going to be more about his central nervous system up regulating – which is finite as well.
You will always have a few guys in the 5'11" range out there, but them winning the major events will become less and less common. Z is a fairly tall man, at least 6’2” and is the best OHP man in modern recorded history. We have some other great OHP guys, and some of them are tall men. Robert Oberst has an incredible OHP, and Shaw’s has improved tremendously too. Not sure what Thor’s OHP limit is now, but its way over 400, and if he can get the Austrian Oak 445, at the AC will make him another one of the few men who could do it, and most of those guys were pretty tall. Michael Burke 6’6” has gotten it, Robert Oberst 6’6” (claims 6’8” but that’s exaggeration), Misha 6’5” and so on. Yes Lalas and the Dimitar are both under 6ft and have handled it.
There are other potentially tall strongmen out there as well. Kirill Sarrychev is a Russian powerlifter; he has long arms, but none the less at 6’6” hold the Bench Press WR at 738 pounds.
The one arm dumbbell press has also been dominated by tall guys in recent years, actually it’s a VERY good event for Thor, he often beats both Z and Shaw in that event, and this year Thor has been practicing with a 129kg (283.8 pound) dumbbell.

@Musclehed320, agreed; we can thank Brian Shaw for evolving the support into a giant's game although, Big Z, at 6'2 is still dominant and Eddie Hall at 6'1 - 6'2 is still progressing. There was also Dimitar who at 5'10 is Top 10 last year and Lalas won the Arnold a few years back in the competitive Giant era and beat Brian Shaw whilst doing so; he is nothing more then 5'10, around 5'9 - 5'10.
Guys like Mariusz was pretty short for a strongan, listed at 6'1 ---- no taller then 5'11 and along with the 6'0 max Poundstone were last of the 'small' strongman to be dominant and in Mariusz defense he did beat Big Z a number of times before coming second at his last outing; whereby he came before Brian Shaw aswell, since then the support has evolved into a larger man's one. Events such as Keg Toss, truck pull and fingle's finger highly favour the tall man. Events such as deadlift are a 50/50 split, longer pull but longer arms to for the taller man. I don't believe a squatting event would favour the taller guy and the trademark Strongman event, the Stones have been neutralised due to the restricted and uniform height of the stands thus not really a taller man's event any more.
For me, i believe the shorter athlete maybe more suited for the Arnold, where the events are more static and are heavier; the heavier, the better. Any light event will favour someone with longer limbs because they can use momentum and leverage, aswell as longer stride advantage, whereas the WSM will not be suitable. Events such as the deadlift, dumbell press, hay carry etc, will require more core strength and stability, something the shorter man can possess. A 5'11 strongman, weighting 360 ilbs would be ideal for the Arnolds especially with shorter arms, the heavier and more simple static events will suit them. A heavier weight will be more about just brute strength and momentum and leverage will play a lesser role.
For me, Shaw and Thor are between 6'6-6'7. I believe taller men upto 6'10 can still competitive and optimal and really push the weight and heigh boundary before height becomes adverse. So i expect an athlete a couple of inches taller then Shaw and weighing 500 ilbs down weighing before evolution slows down and it becomes primarily about training.

Strongman as a competition and the athletes seem to be getting taller and larger. Another tall strongman, Sean O"Hagan is taller then both Thor and Shaw and weighs around 430 ilbs. He looks a couple of inches taller then Shaw and seems to out-size him. He is young and if he devoted more time to strongman, he is a potential to weight between 450 -500 ilbs before be fills out his height of 6'10 - 6'11.
Here he is with Shaw.

It is interesting to note, Shaw and Thor are of similar stature but Thor seems to be purposely staying trim because of his film career, whereas Shaw is thicker and larger. Savickas Zadrunas is around 6'2 - 6'3 and is thicker in every department as compared to Shaw except forearms, thicker neck, shoulders, chest, biceps, thighs, back, calves.
Shaw appears to have more height then him due to longer shins rather then upper torso or thigh bones.

If Thor is 6'6.5 - 6'7, as judging by the above comparisons, Shaw is around 6'6 flat.

I think that Shaw its really close to Thor too, based on many pics, specially this one where you can see the shoes well. What do you think rob? Do you think that Brian Shaw is almoust as tall as The mountain?

Duhon, Brian Shaw is about half an inch shorter.
You are basing that from what? In the photo especially if you take into account the slight hair advantage Hafthor has I don't see .5" there. You can maybe argue half that if you must.

Duhon, Thor has a wider stance and a footwear disadvantage in that photo. In other photos with Brian he usually comes out 1/4 to 1/2 an inch taller.
Rob's 6,7.75" for Thor looks about right and I'd put Brian at about 6,7.25"
Brian is a monster though, usually competes at 430-440 lbs. Would love to see him next to the Big Show to see how they stack up mass wise.

Big Show would be visibly 3-4 inches taller then Thor and would basically larger then all the Pro-strongmen currently on the circuit. He would also out-size Brian Shaw aswell.

Totally agree this guy is at least 6'7.5 at his lowest. He probably loses the most height, more than any other celeb on this site because he's quite heavy than he looks from excessive weightlifting, his height can fluctuate any time any day . Anyone who's over 6'5'' and weighs well over 350 lbs could lose up to 1.5-2' in one day. Johno and Andrea open your eyes he's NOT 6'6.5 he clearly looks taller than Cudmore in comparison with Rob by an inch atleast.

Hafthor's height fluctuates because of the massive compression and decompression his body goes through pre and post training. The yoke event ensues a lot of spinal compression considering you're walking with 400kg+ on your back. It is not surprising to see him look as low as 6'7" flat and as high as 6'8" and change.
If it's worth anything, here's a picture of a friend of mine with Brian Shaw at WSM 2011 in NC. He's 5'11" barefoot. Shaw is about the same height as Hafthor, possibly half inch shorter.

It's the same day they met Hafthor. Egill is one cm shorter than Ragnar with being 217cm while Ragnar is 218cm.

Rob - first of all I want to thank you for this site and for taking so good care of it.
At the beginning it must have been a hobby to you, but now a lot of work I guess.
Height is a very interesting topic to me too. Most Peoples keep their real height for themselves and then there is the showbusiness with so many lies.
Once I've met two very tall guys in a club. The taller one claimed to be 205cm (6'8.7)and the other one (an inch shorter) said 211cm (6'11). The guy who was shorter likes to being that tall (very straight posture) and the other one not that much (very bad posture and not much self confidence). So it is all about what people want other people think about them.
Then I am a real barefoot 5'9.75 guy (177cm) and I am taller than all of my self-claimed 5'11 (180cm) friends.
There are also so many girls shorter than me saying that they are 177 or 178 cm.
So I always have to hear that I coud not be that short and that I have to be at least 5'11, but I am even only 5'10.3 out of bed.
Back to Thor:
Click Here I put the line that high because Hafthor has a very very pointed head. Click Here
Going by many comparisons and reading all the threads I think Hafthor could beat him barefoot. Mane 201.5 - 202.0 and Hafthor 202.5 - 203.0
In his basketball times he was always listed as 203cm Click Here
2004 when he was 15 (U16 European Championship) and 2006 when he was 17 (U18 European Championship)
In the islandic teamphotos he is always as tall as the other 203cm guys.
I think these young guys were all measured barefoot for such a competition.
He probably measured 6'9 out of bed and shrinks down to a hair under 203 at his lowest.

Editor Rob for both of them you could say they are roughly 6ft 8. In person I did get a taller impression from Tyler, but his frame I think helped as he is slimmer than Hafthor, so vertically can give off more illusion of being taller.

Thor has a bit more shoe I think but..
I still coud not say how tall Hafthor is - he can look everything between 202 (with Rob and Arnie for example) and 203.5 with other people.
Even a bit more in the shots next to Magnus Ver Magnusson or Colin Bryce. (more shoe is here possible too)
Based on this photo Click Here and the fact that Big Z is a legit barefoot 6'3 - Hafthor could look 6'8 - 6'8.25.
He has a half of his head (13cm) on him. He also has a inch on Brian Shaw who is at least 6'7.25.
I think all of them have perfect posture in this picture.

The woman on the left is Annie thorisdottir (169cm / 5'6.5 - listed at 5'7).

Editor Rob he looked nearly as tall as Tyler Mane, but then Mane had a more significant shoe advantage (like 0.6 inch) so I felt Mane was taller...they may well measure very close barefoot. Guys in that range might shrink nearer 1.5 inch range.

Rob, could you do a site for Conan Stevens?
There are a lot of people who does not believe he is a real 7 footer.
Here is a video of him - saying by his own mouth that he is 210cm tall.
Click Here At the 10th second.
Many people from countires that use the metric system (so almost the whole world :D) convert a foot to 30cm and not to 30,5 what they actually should do. I did it wrong too for a long time.
So a 180cm guy becomes a 6 footer and a 210 cm guy becomes a 7 footer.
A little later a the video at minute 0:30 there comes another guy for size comparison who agrees for being 175cm.
Conan Stevens converts it to 5 foot 10. I think this is proof enough that he has some little deficits when using the foot/inch system.
Btw: With the other guy he looks more in the 6'9.5 6'10 range but also by being 2.08m and believing that 210cm are 7 feet it is easier to say "I am 7 feet tall" than knowing that 7 feet are actually 213cm.

Bian Shaw seems like the most humble and honest person on earth.
When he was asked about his height he said he is 6'8 or exactly 202cms barefoot.
This is 6'7.5.
Hafthor seems a half or 3/4 inches taller than him.
I am still sure he can be measured 6'8" and more than that in the morning.

You're right about the angle. I didn't consider that.
But you're also wrong in another point.
You said HHH is up to Hafthors nosetip and only reaches to Howards underlip.
You're wrong about that!
You forgot the head angle.
Hafthor leans his head forward. (you can see the top of his head)
While Horward leans his head back. (you cant see the top of his, but more of his neck) I hope you know what I mean. (my english is not the best)
Hafthor could also leans his head more back so that HHH would only reach to his mouth.
But still I see at least an inch difference between them.
Almost everybody on the internet just wants to win their discussion.
They dont care about the truth.
I hope you are comprehensible about that.

The photos of Duhon are better.
Triple H has exactly the same posture in both pics.
Even Hafthor and Dwight Howard have same postures because of the way Triple H wanted to take the photos. No one seems to have camera Advantage.
******************************************************************************
straight out: WRONG
HHH has the same position posture, but the camera angle is way higher in the haftor pic making the gap to HHH bigger than the lower angle in the Howard pic.
Then look at the wall in the Howard pic, big tilt to HHH`s advantage narrowing the gap even more!
So your lines are useless, the angle in the Howard pic is just to low to compare the top of their heads.
If anything we can say HHH is up to Haftors nosetip or a tad under and derotating the pic with Howard, HHH is at best at Howards underlip so more like 1.5-1.75" between Howard and Haftor.

Even Hafthor and Dwight Howard have same postures because of the way Triple H wanted to take the photos. No one seems to have camera Advantage.
******************************************************************************
straight out: WRONG
HHH has the same position posture, but the camera angle is way higher in the haftor pic making the gap to HHH bigger than the lower angle in the Howard pic.
Then look at the wall in the Howard pic, big tilt to HHH`s advantage narrowing the gap even more!
So your lines are useless, the angle in the Howard pic is just to low to compare the top of their heads.
If anything we can say HHH is up to Haftors nosetip or a tad under and derotating the pic with Howard, HHH is at best at Howards underlip so more like 1.5-1.75" between Howard and Haftor.

Dwight Howard is builled as 6'11 and claimed hisself being 6'9 barefoot.
So how tall is Hafthor Björnsson then?

Nash is still a strong 6´8.5", Haftor looks 6´7.5" at best with Rob,
Mane had 0.6" footwear advantage over Rob so a tad shorter than Haftor - Mane 6´7.25"
Haftors head imo 10-10.25"
Nash´s head easy 11", maybe 11.5"max
Lol Haftor makes both big guys look kind of skinny

I also think that he is a full 6'8 or 204cm. I think Robs listing is off by 1cm, he easily looks a full 6'8 if Rob is 5'8. He looks 6'8 in most of his photos.

@Paul
He never said he is 6'9
watch minute 2:33 Click Here
You can hear it from his own mouth. "I am 6'8" he said.
During the tournament they still mentioned him 6'9.
In the photo comparison with Rob he looks 6'7.5 but he could lose that half or quarter inch easily on that one pic by bending a very very little bit.
It is hard to guess somebodys height on a pic with comparing to another one who is a foot shorter... and don't forget - we are talking about 0.5 or 0.25 inches.
In the other photo with Robs Con friend he seems a bit over 203cms.
Even on the photo with Triple H he seems 6'8 by calculating only 6'1.5 to Triple H.
So I dont think he is lying.
I would bet he is a full 6'8 and even more than 6'9 out of bed.
Rob is there a chance to upgrade him to 6'8 because on that photo with your friend he really seems to be a full 6'8 or do you doubt it?
You are the one who could see him from a near distance. I never had that chance.
Would you say 6'8 is impossible?

Thanks Rob and no, I don't blame you for not arguing with him. He's big enough. I think he is around 6'8 even. That would make fellow strongman Brian Shaw maybe 6'7.25, although in my view most people of average height or taller (but under 7'0) would generally vary by a maximum of around 0.8in over a given day with the exception of when extremes are applied, eg. working for 12-15 hours hard manual work without a rest or lying down for 15 hours and taking measurements quickly following in each case.

Editor Rob I'm never going to argue with an actor over a height, I'm just guessing, it still ultimately won't change what they are measured at.
I think near 6ft 8, but maybe he measured 6ft 9 out of bed easily, a guy this size could very well shrink 1.5 inches.

Hey Rob,
How much do you lose during the day?
I am 178,6cm out of bed, still over 177cm during the morning and 176,6 in the evening. Even I am that short, I lose excactly 2 cms.
What would be my true height?
And we talked about Height Lies.
Do you think Guys like Hafthor were measured in shoes or in the morning or do you think they are just lying because it is very common that almost all tall celebrities gave themselves one inch on their real height.

Editor Rob 0.6 up to 0.8 shrinkage. It depends on the out of bed height. I used to consistantly get 5ft 8.6-7 range, but over last few years can get 5ft 8.75-9 range out of bed. My evening height is still 5ft 8 1/8th though.

Of course there'd be people saying that. Just like every 6-footer has people who say he's actually 5'10" or 5'11", every 7-footer has people who say he's actually 6'10" or 6'11". Even though they don't really have anything to back it up.
I think Conan looks like a legit 7-footer. Not sure what to think about Hafthor. He said he's 205cm(6'8.75") in an interview, and I could buy that. But one thing's for sure, he's not under 6'7".

Hafthor isn't under 6'8". I've been around pro strongman, now NXT wrestler, Adam Scherr and trained with him on a few occasions. He's remarkably the same height, if not 0.5 inches taller than Brian Shaw.
Scherr BARELY cleared a 6'9" door frame in shoes. His hair squished under it. I think the WSM billings for height aren't nearly as inflated as WWE.
Shaw: 6'7.5-6'7.75"
Hafthor: 6'8"-6'8.5"

I still don't know why they recast The Mountain, Conan Stevens was the best in his one-off scene, he could pass as Rory McCann's older brother, was easily huge enough and was convincingly meaner than a snake. Ian Whyte although the tallest wasn't nearly intimidating enough in build. Thor I thought did ok but wasn't well cast as McCann's brother, especially as an older brother.

Does Colin Salmon have bad posture in this pic?
I wouldn't say Hafthor is definitely not as much as 4 inches taller than Colin Salmon. Even if Thor has great posture for a big guy he is still leaning and therefore bend a very very little bit.
I am still sure he could stand 1 or 2 cms better for measuring. (204 daytime max)
I saw Thor and Brian Shaw in real life and I have to admit that Hafthor always seems a bit shorter than he really is because of his lower shoulders.
Maybe this is why you dont perceive him as a barefoot 6'8" guy.
I respect your experience in estimate heights.
I dont say he is 6 ft 9. He never said that his self too.
He always said 204 - 205 cm. Other people made that to 6'9 and then to 206cm.
But he must be somewhere in 6'8 range compared to other tall Strongmen.

Editor Rob hafthor is standing near his measured height, I watched him and he stood great with most people...but Colin was up and down in his stances, even with taller people he sometimes didn't stand as tall as he could. With me, either he lost more than I did (and I dropped a bit in case he did) or the angle somehow knocked an inch from him because in reality I saw a big 6ft 4 range guy.

Yeah, you'll find that basketball sneaker often gives about 1.25 inches. 6'7.5 in person and looking near that 6'8 in most comparisons 6'7.75 is probably the best shout. it does seem an "exotic" looking listing though, agreed.

Editor Rob in a photo comparison I think he comes in about 6ft 7.5, and the basketball 6ft 9 I believe might be in a bball sneaker so I thought almost 6ft 8 - with other people I feel it is a good fit.

So his head is about 27 cm long then..That's a quite huge dome.

Click Here That’s what 5’7.75” (~1/2 inch shorter than Rob) and 6’9.5” look like together Click Here Howard’s around 6’10” himself. By comparison, Rob's not too much under Bjornsson's chin and Bjornsson does not look to have a very large head for his height.
Arch, most guys will “fill out” in their 20s, which Bjornnson would have done. However, there’s no way IMO his wrist and hands are getting to what look like acromegalic size without massive HGH use.

Thor and Shaw are the same height, Thor may be 1-2cm taller max, but thats all.
That is all he's saying anyway,Show says he's 203cm and Thor says 205cm,it's other people rounding up and down he's height and weight,I remmber the First year Show won the Arnold Strongman He said he was 422lbs,that was then listed at 200kgs 441lbs,

Maybe my comparisons were bad, that's right. I thought Rory Mccann was really 196-197cm
No, Thor and Shaw aren't the same height.
There is 2-2,5 cm difference. You can see it in a lot of strongman competition videos, Thor has always an inch or more about Shaw or other 6,7 guys.
Even here in this photo where Shaw has more shoe Click Here
you can see there is a small difference. Both have not their best posture.
Shaw claimed he is 6'7.5" (202cm) from that Hafthor must be taller than 202,5cm.
Rob you say he has great posture for a tall man and yes he has.
He has also great proportions for a 170kg guy but it must not be his best straightest posture like when he gets measured.
So I think one photo isnt enough to say how tall he exactly is.
Yes, you can see he is not 6'9" and of course taller than 6'7.5" but I'd still guess him somewhere between 6'8" and 6'8.5" because he is always surrounded by 6'7 or 6'8 guys and seems a few cms taller.

How is it? Most guys will weigh significantly more at 25 or 30 than they did at 18. And a lot of guys who are fatter later on with a lot simmer at that age. Most guys at that age have not "filled" out. Look at Joe Manganiello for instance, he was a skinny runt at that age. How many 18 year old guys are able to have the bulky muscular look of a 30 something year old? I'm sure Alex would agree with me too.

Is that Ralf Moeller standing on the far right next to Shaw?
He claims 196cm today (6'5) so i really cant see Shaw over 6'7.5 in that pic. He claims 6'8.
See Joe Manganiello there as well looks 2 inches or so shorter than Thor using Arnie as a reference point.

Rob, I have to wonder, Is it possible Brian shaw is 6,7.5? He slouches a ton and really does look the same height as Thor in numerous photos. Also, notice the legit 6,5.5, possibly even 6,6, Ralf Moeller standing next to Shaw? I think Brian legit has about 2 inches over him, maybe even 2.25 inches. I believe Brian shaw who once said 202 cm as his height is legit 6,7.5 and rounds up to 6,8. He has horrible posture. Also, He was about an inch or two taller than ryan stiles on whos line. He is huge. Bigger than thor if you go by shear width and size. Shaw is definitely one guy that weighs over 400 pounds.

Editor Rob nearer 5ft 9 might be more sense for the other guy...if the taller chap has more footwear then I think that might account for another fraction and then he is nearer 6ft 8 aswell...it's hard to say how much hair he has, could be 1.25-5 inches worth.

Let's bring some math in it:
Rob, if your friend is 186cm and his head would be exactly 10 inches,
then the difference between them both would be 18,5 cm, which would make Hafthor 204,5 cm. (65/89 = 0.73; 0.73 * 25,4 = 18,5)
Click Here
204,5cm is what he said hisself in an interview where he was asked how tall he is exactly on Italian TV.
Another Comparison Click Here where you can see he is more than 5,5 cms taller than Rory Mccann. I would guess 3 inches, which also would make him 204,5 cm. I streched the pic, so Robs Head has the same pixel size in both pics.
Last comparison:
Click Here
When Nash is close to 6'9" then Hafthor must be taller than 6'7.75",
and maybe we have to say that Nairn is bigger than 206cm on that picture with Rob.
And also I dont think they're all lying in the Strongman Sport.
Hafthor is exactly 1 inch taller than Shaw, 2,5 inches taller than Hollands and Burke and 1,5 inches taller than Ostlund.

440lbs is absurd. I mean, That is a Big Show weight!
Like Rob said, Nairn looks bigger, he gives more an image of a mountain than this guy.(Thiugh e's still massive!)
I would've guess 375 max, so 380 is believable.
I'd say in these shots, Thor(400+) outweighs Nairn (385-400). Given that he is a power lifter with all the muscle and mass It definitely gives a huge advantage. IMO they could be the same be around the same HT/WT.

@Arch, not only does his relative thinness surprise me in those shots of him at 18-20 (he almost looks like a different person), but what surprises me even more is that it appears he was already losing his hair. I've seen this a few times with the most recent famous example being American golfer Jordan Spieth, but it's pretty rare. What it must be like not even out of high school or in your first year of college/university, and you're already balding.

I’m guessing Andre (1987) is maybe 475 lbs. here and Big Show (1996-1997) 450 lbs. All three are pumped up on HGH except it's natural for Andre and Big Show.

I doubt Sam he's even near 440 even during competitions. He does have higher body fat at times though, might be in low 400s during events but 440, no way.

@Duhon. Yes, I don't think you can call a s**t load of supplements every day "natural" but Magnus Samuelsson has always spoken very strongly against steroid use and considers it cheating. I believe he's legit and doesn't take roids, but I think most of them who say they don't are lying. If you look at the amount Magnus regularly lifts, it's possible with his genetics to get that big through hard training and supplements. I do agree though that the vast majority use them, it's a competitive field.

Rob perhaps you could mention he said 379 lbs, might quash the 440 pound listings. Still, that's 40 pounds heavier than a guy like Magnus Samuelsson, massive enough!

440lbs is absurd. I mean, That is a Big Show weight!
Like Rob said, Nairn looks bigger, he gives more an image of a mountain than this guy.(Thiugh e's still massive!)
I would've guess 375 max, so 380 is believable.

Comparring rob and arnolds pics with tjor, id say arnie is possibly 4 inches taller than rob with 3 inches as an absolute minimum. Not sure if Rob you may agree? Sorry i know this not the arnold thread.

Editor Rob he can look close to 6ft.
I think this is the closest to a 'both similar pose' of Arnie and Thor Click Here...bear in mind the thumbnail I posted of the con friend...that guy is in the solid 186cm range.
