Rob he doesn’t look quite 6’2 next to Sheamus does he?

Editor Rob
Didn't seem that much less beside Sheamus, 187 range looked believable, but then if he gets measured and stands his tallest he can be one of those guys who measures more than they look.
Alir?za said on 16/Jun/20
I saw him in 2015 and I am legit 191 cm in night. He is easily shorter than me at least 4-5 cm.
But I don't understand how his height is measured 190 cm?
Donte said on 15/Jun/20
Where is the video?
mark thompson said on 14/Jun/20
never expected a 6ft2 upgrade, i thought he would eventually get downgraded to 6ft1 1/4. anyway in the video where hes measured 190cm, i can do the same posture thing he did and measure 181-182 (even though im legit flat 179), and it definitely looks like a shoe measurement.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Jun/20
Oh wow!
Was not expecting this but I did watch the video and yeah maybe he can stretch to 188cm. But 190cm range afternoon I struggle to see...
Myself said on 11/Jun/20
I will never buy that he is 6'2. If anything i was expecting a downgrade to 186 cm, which could be a realistic figure for him imo.
hairlinecel said on 10/Jun/20
Idk how he's got 190cm om stadiometer. I'm 189cm at 11am (so probably my real height is 6'2.25 - ~188.6cm) and I met him omce. I was almost an inch taller than him LOL.
joec said on 9/Jun/20
@BrianC
Yeah that would explain everything. Even if he wasn't wearing shoes, that little tip-toe "jump" could have easily added 1-2cm, in addition to him
Busting a Gut and standing as tall as he possibly could. Also his hair seems to give him around 1cm. If he measured legitimately, I believe he would be around 187-188cm
Feister said on 9/Jun/20
I don't know how he got measured at 190,1. Martin Wildauer (another pro strongman) describes himself as 190cm tall. Saw them both in Germany in 2015 at a powerlifting competition (Eddie did a show lift with a 420kg deadlift). Eddie was clearly a little bit shorter (not much -I would say around 1 inch).
Jkiller said on 9/Jun/20
In his recent youtube video where he's measured 190cm, he is clearly stretching/reaching so bad, and that was with shoes too for sure, so anything between 6'1.75-6'2 barefoot is an accurate guess. I don't believe he ever falls under 187cm.
BrianC said on 8/Jun/20
I think I found out why Eddie Hall was measured for 190 cm even though in my opinion he's more a 186 - being generous 187. So first of all you can clearly see that he was wearing socks throughout the video prior to him getting on the stadiometer, so he I suspect he was just wearing socks for the measurement. However, you see that when Eddie gets on the stadiometer starting at 6:25 he clearly puffs up his chest and busts a gut as hard as he can to the max. In addition if you slow the video down from 6:28 to 6:30 you can clearly see that he tiptoed at the very end of the measurement, and you see as at 6:28 to 6:30 the headpiece suddenly rises from when it was when he wasnt tiptoeing (you can slow the video down to 0.25 speed to see it.
I could definetely see how, on top of his maximum chest puffing which could've given him half a centimeter, on top of the clear tiptoe at the very end, he could've gained 4 or so centimeters.
Thebeast said on 8/Jun/20
In the video where he measured 190.1 cm, it looked like the guy next to him didn’t tap it the whole way down. Eddie has a lot of hair on the top of his head. Maybe he stopped taping at his hair, but not his head. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was standing a little bit on his toes as well. Not much, but maybe 1 cm. A little bit on his toes and a little bit of wrong measure method = 2 cm minus. That’s why this new listing at 188 cm is perfect.
But those who say he was wearing shoes, and that he is 185 and so on.. you’re wrong.. maybe you just want to believe that he is that short? he is easily over 187 cm. He is somewhere between 187.5 and 189.5 cm.
Roots4828 said on 8/Jun/20
Weird how he could be 6’2” or over. He looks same height as Larry Wheels and barely an inch taller than listed 6’.5” Paddy McGuinness
Arch Stanton said on 7/Jun/20
Yeah it's difficult to see a legit 190 for him, it was the looking down at his feet which I found sus as if he was on his toes. I don't think I'll bother continuing watching him, the more I've seen of him the more I suspect narcissistic personality disorder. His strength and dedication is amazing and he can be a funny guy but I don't like guys who constantly look for praise and pampering their ego. Thor may be boring but at least he's not constantly bragging about himself. Brian Shaw is the genuine article and successful enough to not have to keep boasting about himself.
Editor Rob
It is much easier to try to rise up on toes when you have your back against a stadiometer than if you faced a stadiometer.
joec said on 6/Jun/20
we still dont know if he was wearing shoes or not...190cm makes no sense for him
Ulf Jonas Hiller said on 6/Jun/20
So, according to the stadiometer in this video his status should be bumped to 6'2 & 3/4 (or actually 6'2 & 7/8 would be even closer). However, literally EVERY picture and video of him standing next to another known celebrity contradicts this and even makes a more modest 6'2 estimate unlikely. Look at him next to Bill Kazmaier congratulating him in 2017 when he won world's strongest man. Kazmaier is himself listed as 6'2 and was clearly taller back in 2017. And keep in mind that he was by then already in his mid-60s so he might not even have been at full 6'2 then. Eddie clearly cares a good deal about having people think he's 190cm (maybe enough to actually elaborately fake his height measurements??).
Either put his status as 6'2 & 3/4 (or 7/8) as it is his "apparent" measured height, or, go by something closer to 6'1 which is what people seem to believe and what seems reasonable comparing him to others in photos and videos.
Either way, he'll most likely either remain about 2 inches shorter looking than he is or keep measuring about 2 inches taller than he is for as long as he lives, I'm guessing...
lojza said on 6/Jun/20
His latest video on youtube shows that he is exactly 190cm. needs upgrade
Arch Stanton said on 6/Jun/20
You don't see his feet for the measurement but look at various stages in it he looks like he's in his socks.
Arch Stanton said on 6/Jun/20
Rob, check out his latest Youtube video at Loughborough Uni, at 6:29 he got measured on an electro stadio and it's 190. something and if you see a bit earlier and a bit later on the video I don't think he was wearing sneakers, looked like socks rolled up. Now the person measuring him looked down at his feet, was he standing on his toes or what?
Editor Rob
A true 190cm measurement I can't buy as it seems it wasn't pressed down, but was he really pulling a 'heel rise'...
Ben Bell did say he was surprised with Eddie and could have been 6ft 2.5 range...
Yannickkaar said on 5/Jun/20
In his recent video you can the expert measuring him at 190cm.
Althought it's pretty easy to see its not his head, but the top of his hair that get measured.
So I would say he is 188cm
ggg34 said on 5/Jun/20
Click Here 6:38 guess its confirmed 6'2.
lol eddie cheating still why cant he accept he is 6'1 man hahahaa
Editor Rob
Even with some leeway like not tapping it down, it's hard to imagine Eddie not being at least somewhere in 6ft 2 range when measured...
berta said on 4/Jun/20
rob dont you agree thata most of those powerlifters looks horter than they really are. this guy standing by himself can look 185 but people seems to forget that his shoulders are like 2 normal men. he was 4-4,5 cm shorter than big z back to back, i saw that z was about 191-191,5 in person and that makes this guy 187 cm, he really cant be shorter than that, but the full 188 would make savickas 192,5 and that a little to mutch.
Editor Rob
Yes, these guys in some photos simply don't seem 6ft 2.
Arch Stanton said on 16/May/20
In my opinion his weight makes him look a lot shorter than he actually is, when you see him with the other strong men he looks average height. He said he's got a rare gene which doesn't impose restrictions on gaining muscle mass than most people have to protect the bones. He's an extremely rare case, 99.9% of men could never gain that much muscle mass and be that heavy without being obese at this height. Keeping in mind he's the weight of a typical big rugby player plus Big Rob.
Editor Rob
Seeing him beside
Dani Harmer, he looks thrice as wide as her!
Roots4828 said on 16/May/20
Larry Wheels edges him out. Eddie must be 6’1” flat at most. How does a 6’1.5” guy look shorter than one that’s 6’1”?
Chinybobs said on 16/May/20
He’s around 2” shorter than big Z. Hence he’s approx 6-1.
Duhon said on 13/May/20
Does someone 6'1.5" who weighs 400 lbs appear to look taller than someone that same height who is let's say 185 lbs? I wonder if all the added mass gives people the impression he is a "giant" and thus must be taller than ~6'1".
Jonas Hiller said on 13/May/20
On the picture of him next to De Niro he actually looks 6'3 if Robert is 5'7½ and both are standing straight, on the same flat surface, and have similarly thick heels.
Let's say he's only 6'1. What's the big deal? The guy who won the world strongest man competition 5 times, more often than anyone else, Mariusz Pudzianowski was and is "only" 6'1. It's a good height. Taller than most (90% or so) westerners, probably (Scandinavians and Dutchmen excluded). Average height of male runway models and, apparently, good enough a height for world strongest man winners. If you could choose to be a) 5'1, b) 6'1 or c)7'1 what percentage of you would NOT choose b)? I bet less than 10%.
Chinybobs said on 13/May/20
Obsessed with being 6-3. He’s 6-1. Period.
Jonas Hiller said on 9/May/20
Judging from this photo of his standing next to Martin Licis he looks about at least a solid inch shorter. Celeb Heights has Martin at 6'2 and 1/4 last time I checked so I guess that would put Eddie at around 186cm (or possibly shorter).
Click Here
Still though, that doesn't explain how he got measured at 190cm, even with sneakers (not unless his sneakers were either 4cm thick or they were maybe an inch to 3cm thick and he took a morning measurement and rounded up from close to 189.5cm).
Either way, he looks short for a WSM competitor, even compared to those listed as 6'2, I think.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/May/20
I think in most shoes he's approaching 6ft3. 6ft1 flat is too low
Arch Stanton said on 3/May/20
@Rob Check out 35 minutes of his interview with True Geordie on YouTube, Eddie claimed 6'2.5!! Finally being honest about his measurement in footwear... I like him but he seems very egotistical and insecure, even referred to himself as short at one point and that being big helps his confidence!!
Editor Rob
It's a bit of a more realistic claim than a full 6ft 3!
Arch Stanton said on 3/May/20
I did agree with Eddie and Brian Shaw on them saying that legit world records need to be done in a competition but in fairness the people they had judging it and the way the weights were measured and Thor being in front of a much larger audience online than you'd ever get at a comp and clearly under pressure to perform for me the 501 is a legit WR. But if Thor can pull off 520 at a comp once the virus is over I think even Eddie would respect that.
190.5/189.5 said on 3/May/20
I'll give him 6'1", could be a little over though or maybe even under. It's hard to tell with this guy, given how massive he is. 6'3" is a joke, he's clearly insecure about his height due to the size of the giants that he competes against. I probably would be too!

@Aaron Richardson
To me he is definitely looking over the 6'2" mark with you, that is if you are standing at least the 5'10 flat in that photo with him. Then again could he have had some kind of footwear advantage or an uneven floor?
James B 172cm said on 30/Apr/20
arch- 6'1-6'2 is big enough for a man
Cockstride said on 29/Apr/20
@Aaron. His footwear has been noticeable in the way of a little more than normal. Just saying
Arch Stanton said on 29/Apr/20
Yeah he's insecure about his height, Brian Shaw said "6'3 is a bit of stretch" in one video and you could see he was pissed off! In his mind 6'3 is probably the start of "big" territory and he doesn't want to think of himself as only 6'1-6'2. He does seem to have that sort of mentality where "the bigger the better", why else would he be happy to be 27 stone, it's a very unhealthy weight. His strength is phenomenal but he'd be far far healthier if he got down to 280-300 pound range.
Aaron Richardson said on 27/Apr/20

Absolutely hilarious video where Big Z, Licis and Eddie Hall, as we know for sure Big Z is 6'3". and Hall billed 6'3" but he is obviously shorter than Big Z and Licis, so 6'1-1,5 at most (World's Strongest Man 2017 Finals (UK version))

Seeing him next to larry wheels is identical but I'm assuming eddie has been measured with shoes on. And not really without. So my guess without shoes is 6,1 and a half but with shoes I'd say hes just under 6',3

189-190cm range in shoes is possibly and may even hit 6ft3 in some.

Arch Stanton said on 6/Mar/20
You wouldn't think it to look at him but he comes from a really athletic family and wasn't far off becoming a pro swimmer. He had a toned, athletic physique when he was younger but he just seemed to keep lifting and lifting heavier and eating and eating and just got gigantic. He looks a lot better than he did a few years back but still looks really unhealthy at his size, around 380 pounds now I think. I think he'd look much better if he lost around 100 pounds. 20 stone is still massive for a 6'1 range guy!!
Bob da cob. said on 27/Feb/20
Funniest thing about Eddie is he wears a T-shirt saying back up you bullish£t. Haha. Yeah like that you’re 6-3 barefoot??
Arch Stanton said on 25/Feb/20
He was listed at 190 cm on a form on his channel. The listings on it were very specific about body fat and weight etc. I think he genuinely measured 190, but in sneakers.
Arch Stanton said on 25/Feb/20
There's a video on Youtube of Eddie Hall and Paddy "bollock" lifting. Eddie looks 6'1.5-6'2 range next to 6 ft range Paddy I thought. I caught Eddie next to Brian Shaw too, he was looking between 5 and 6 inches shorter. I had thought Shaw looked 6'8 but if he is 6'7.25 then Eddie again looked 6'1.5-6'2. Not seeing low 6'1 range though.

Isn't there a category for Strongmen? It seems a bit odd to only have a category for people based on their first names!

GH89 said on 9/Feb/20
No idea how people are seeing 185cm flat.. Generally looks 188 in the morning and dips to 186 after a hard day's lifting. 187cm is a good fit for Eddie overall. I think his giant frame can make him look squatter than his actual measured height.
Bob da cob. said on 22/Jan/20
Looks 6-1 flat. Certainly not 6-3
J-Dog said on 21/Jan/20
Thanks for the replies Rob & Caldonio.
I have to say you guys are correct and I've noticed with Eddie Hall recently in the last ~1.5 years he has looked unnaturally close to legit 6'3-4" guys. I think he has been supplementing with lifts of some kind. I think Rob has him listed correctly. ~186cm seems more likely.
Jkiller said on 17/Jan/20
Honestly looks 187cm next to Larry Wheels who I believe is 186cm.
Zadari said on 4/Jan/20
I think Eddie hall is 6ft 1 as he was shorter than Arnold Schwarzenegger when stood next to him in socks.

@Aritra
The UFC does not give accurate heights, they are known to also inflate heights
many examples such as Donald Cerrone,Jake Ellenberger,Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, JDS , Overeem , Rozenstruick
it's funny because if you watch the weigh ins, guys who are supposed to be 1-2 inches taller than their opponents are actually shorter for example Arvlovski vs Rozenstruick.
UFC are almost as bad as the WWE imo but not quite.
The Ben said on 4/Dec/19
6'2.5 when I met him.
I always thought he looked shorter on film though.
Not ruling out lifts either, I cant remember the shoes he was wearing either.

I think the WSM lie about height as do the wwe and the nba .

Aritra said on 4/Dec/19
I know he might be exaggerating his height despite being at least 6 feet. But strongmen are huge and 6 feet honestly is quite short for someone of his sport , besides he has a huge ego .

Hey Caldonio is there actual proof of Eddie Hall using lift inserts? He appears ~187cm most of the time in actuality.
Editor Rob
Actors may wear lifts, but I think it's too often thrown around.
I've met and seen a lot of actors...very very few could I tell had elevators or lifts. And getting 100+ photos with fans, and knowing these photos are online - well, it's an opportunity any height-minded individual might decide to wear them.
It's the 3/4 inch lifts that are really hard to ever spot.
Yuval said on 17/Nov/19
He has ego issues.. he is all about the alpha male thing, so he added an inch to his height.
It is really stupid because 6'1.5 is already tall
Caldonio said on 13/Nov/19
Been using insole enhancements since social media debunked his 6-3 claim. 6-1.5 correct call.
Anon11 said on 7/Nov/19
Eddie knows fine well that you do not give someone your height in shoes, that is ridiculous. He is someone who does have a massive ego and no doubt loves to be as massive as he is, so it is unsurprising that he over-exaggerates his height considerably.

We need to find out how tall "Deno Driz" is. If you watch Eddie's recent video where he went to Thorpe Park, he is exactly the same height as this guy.
Fabian frances said on 23/Sep/19
Check out the recent vid Eddie uploaded on you tube where he meets Arnold. Eddie has a photo with Arnold on level floor, and he is easily 3 inches taller. So assuming Arnold is now 5'11 to 6 ft, that makes Eddie 6'2 or 6/3. What stood out for me was his huge boddy mass. Arnold at his biggest size when young would still look small alongside Eddie1

1-Hall is 187.5 AT BEST for sure, I even doubt it. More like 6'2 morning height and 6'1ish evening.
2-@Berta is 100% correct about Savickas, I met him too and he is taller than his " billed " height.
I was actually surprised at how tall he looked, especially when I saw my pics with him afterwards.

I don't think he believes it since he was listed 188cm years ago in british competitions.
Eddie would be like: piss off i am 190 in shoes that's fair enough.

You can see how Eddie really believes to be 190 cm, as he put that as his height in the BF calculator (as also shown by "tree", I noticed):
Click Here From 6:40
@tree
I think Juji in that photo might be losing some height due to his leg posture, but even if we say the he isn't, that's a 3-3.5" difference imo, so Eddie looks 6'1-6'1.5 (that's also if we say that Juji isn't like 5'9.5-5'9.75 range, but really 5'10).
Everything is possible but I still would have a hard time believing that Eddie is above 186 cm at his low.
@Randomdude
I think Licis is at least 6'1.5, up to 6'2.25. I would give him 6'2, as you can see how the top of his head is almost level with

@Yuval I think Martin Licis is about 6'1 - 6'1.5 max
Yuval said on 17/Jun/19
How tall is Martins Licis? now he is listed 6'3 but bedore he was listed 6'2. With Larry Wheels video he said they are the same height..and Larry is 6'1

Looks 187 with Jujimufu too who is 178

Yuval said on 10/Jun/19
He keeps claiming 6'3 everywhere. In a recent video with Brian Shaw he mentioned how 6'3 is such a good height for deadlift. Maybey he is 6'2.5 mornong and he just rounds up. But for sure he is the same height as Larry Wheels 6'1 and change

@Tree probably with shoes on
Onabill Choudhury said on 26/May/19
Rob how tall do you think the true Geordie is? He towered over Eddie Hall in pictures he’s taken with him, don’t quote me on this but I recall that he has claimed 6 ft 3 and 6 ft 4 in his Q&As and in the picture I had seen TG with Eddie Hall he looked at least 6 ft 3, his poor posture is the reason why people think he’s smaller than he is, and apparently TH weighs 25 stones must have real strain on him if he’s that big
Editor Rob
Geordie could be nearer 6ft 3 than Eddie is.
tree said on 23/May/19
He was regulary listed 188cm in his early UK competitions

@u777Steven
Yeah they are both clearly overlisted on this site; I have then at 184/185 (Eddie) and 199.5/200.5 (Brian).
___u777Steven said on 12/Apr/19
Met him today in Hackney, London, he was hosting a one vs one strength test between Nick Best and Brian Shaw. Cameras and everything. Assuming it’ll be for a YouTube skit. My height fluctuates between 186-187cm flat. I Stood next to Eddie and the other Guys for a long period of time since there weren’t many in the crowd. This took place outside a pub. I even managed to shake hands and speak to Eddie and asked him a question. But height wise he was nearly the same height as me. Tad bit shorter. I would peg him around 185cm. Nick Best was the same height as him but at times looked very slightly shorter, he’s also at around 184-185cm. Brian Shaw was actually really, really tall but even my friend guessed he wasn’t exactly 6’9. He could be around 6’7 or even 6’6 (lowest I’d say)
BTW....they were all freaking huge and was amazing to actually see them all in living colour at my local pub in Hackney!
Eddie Hall - 185cm
Nick Best - 184cm
Brian Shaw - 200.5cm

Rob, should we tell you when a page has the picture missing? Or you are aware of everything? Because for example Eddie lacks one right now.
Editor Rob
It's more errors, as slowly I go through pages adding bits, with wikimedia/instagram you can embed photos from there (if I don't have one from the site I use).

Similar footwear, Eddie holds up better than Wrestler Sting did. Looks 6'2 here.
Jimhopper said on 20/Mar/19
6-1 max. He uses insoles now I’m told in his footwear after social media exposing his b/s 6-3 claim.
Myself said on 10/Mar/19
A real 6'1.5 person would look 6'2 sometimes, he NEVER does. I think if measured properly at a low he's 184 or 185 on the nose.
I feel like Josh could make him look as short as a weak 6 footer!
Randomdude0000 said on 10/Mar/19
yeah personally I can't see Eddie being anything over 6'1 evening height, I think 6'1 1/2 is too generous
Danimal 5'9 3/4" said on 6/Mar/19
Eddie with Larry Wheels (who claims to be 6'1", but could be shorter) from today. They are virtually the exact same height throughout the video. If anything, Larry edges Eddie out by a bit. Eddie is MAX 6'1":

He had a video with Larry Wheels and they looked the same,6'1. And I belive Larry is 6'1 because I have been following him for some time.

I don't think he's even 6ft,with such a big frame he would looker bigger than he does if he was 6'1-6'3 range but he doesn't look very tall at all guessing 5'10 5'11 tops

Can look barely 185cm at times but I think can stretch himself to 186-187cm zone. If he at least brought his claim down to 6ft2
Myself said on 21/Feb/19
@Randomdude
I think it's close to 1.5 inches, considering also that Eddie has better posture, both head and torso.
Randomdude9099 said on 5/Feb/19
@Yuval they clearly do not look the same
I would like a second opinion can people tell me how much height difference there is in this picture between Eddie and Henry looks like an inch to me maybe 3/4's possibly half an inch at the least -
Click Here
Yuval said on 5/Feb/19
Well they look the same. Who knows what their footwear was and posture at that picture.
Myself said on 4/Feb/19
@berta
I'm not sure he is over 6'1 anymore, I think he might have shrunk. Looks 6'0.5/6'1 to me now, but I could be wrong.
Randomdude9099 said on 4/Feb/19
@yuval looks ATLEAST an inch half, you could argue it's even more than an inch
Yuval said on 3/Feb/19
I'm not sure he is an inch shorter then
Mark Henry..they look close
Peter Simmons said on 17/Jan/19
I stood next to him at an event last year. No way is he 6' 3". More like 6' 1".
Randomdude9099 said on 4/Jan/19
@Yuval then why is he clearly an inch(atleast) shorter than 6'2 Henry?
he does look close to Bill Kazmaier who is about 6'2 but also remember Bill is also approaching 70 years old so I doubt he is still 6'2(that was his peak height)
I just don't see it all the evidence I'm looking at suggest he is 6'0 1/2 to 6'1
Yuval said on 3/Jan/19
He has a lot of haters..but for sure he is not under 6'1. I think this listing is perfect, 1.5 inch shorter then Big Z.
Yuval said on 3/Jan/19
6'1 seems low for him..he looks close to Bill Kazmaier and Colin Bryce both I believe 6'2.
Randomdude9099 said on 2/Jan/19
Hi Rob
I really feel Eddie needs a downgrade to 6'1 max,there was a picture with Hall and
Mark Henry with Henry looking atleast an inch taller and having a hair disadvantage
I still believe Eddie is 6'0 1/2 or 6'1 max
Halb said on 31/Dec/18
Met him at Euston. I'd guess at between 6"-6'1"
Timson said on 28/Dec/18
6-1. He blocks people on Instagram if they call out his real height. 2” shorter than big Z.

berta said on 14/Dec/18
He is 4,5 cm shorter than Zydrunas and he is very legit 6 foot 3 guy ( fraction over) Rob and site user " Myself" have seen my photo with him and can also tell you that he is not under 6 foot 3. Zydrunas is 191 and this guy is 186,5 Listing is very good
Yuva said on 9/Dec/18
He lost some weight lately..maybe he gained height in the procces?
Timson said on 8/Dec/18
Got his autograph at the U.K. strongest man event few years ago. Really cool guy. But he’s not 6-3 seriously I’d say not over 6-1. I’m 6-0 and I had converse trainers on. We looked so close height wise I have a photo of the meeting. I think Ed should stop claiming this height imo.
Ronnie Richardson said on 31/Oct/18
Im 5'9 (maybe 5'9 1/2), well 176cm to be exact, and when i met Eddie he did look shorter than 6'3
Randomdude991 said on 23/Oct/18
@Lambo I've been saying it for a long time I don't even think Eddie is over 6'1,although he is huge both in terms of height(yes 6'1 is quite tall) and MAINLY size(muscle mass) I just can't seem him been over 6'1 he looks 2 inches shorter than 6'3 big z,6'1 is the absolute max I can see him at
Myself said on 20/Oct/18
Rob, do you think Eddie could have shrunk after everything he has done? I suspect he has...
Lambo said on 14/Sep/18
Conclusive proof that Eddie is not the 6'3" he claims. Here he is with presenter George Lamb who is at least 6'4" making Eddie around 6'0" in this picture.

Randomdude12 said on 14/Jun/18
fair point,
but to be honest I just can't see it with 6'3 big z
I'd still think he is 6'1 but then again as you said if I ever got a picture with him my opinion may change
Ben Bell (The Ben) said on 11/Jun/18
I am 6'0.5 100%.
I was 6'1.025, I had spinal issues and shrunk down to 6'0 due to generative disc disease. I then had spinal fusion surgery and have gained a little.
It's funny when I put photos on here years ago with Roddy Piper, Ric Flair and the Ultimate Warrior I had people saying I was taller than I was.
I have a photo of my 6'3 friend next to Eddie Hall, both with good posture and they are identical in height.
Eddie is touring the UK currently, I'd suggest people go and get a photo with him. He's a very large man.
Taking footwear in to Account I could go down to 6'2.5 but no less.
Randomdude7 said on 9/Jun/18
@Ben Bell then I doubt you are 6'0.5
I still think 6'1 he quite shorter than 6'3 big Z
Ben Bell said on 7/Jun/18
Just met him today and I’d say 6’3.
I had a photo with him and I’m 6’0.5 and he had 2” on me at least.
Also had a photo with my 6’3 friend and they were exactly the same height.
Definitely looks shorter due to his massive width, I wasn’t expecting him to be 6’3 at all. Even stood a few meters from him he looked shorter. It was only in the photos or when standing directly next to him you could see his height.
Flexbert said on 30/May/18
He looks 6'1 to me.
Yuval said on 13/May/18
Being a giant means more range of motion. Not every 6'6-6'9 guy will manage to be the best.For example Terry Hollands 6'6 never won wsm. I wonder if Shaq could have been world strongest man if he filled his frame with like 500 pound of muscles at 7 foot tall. He makes thor look short lol.He did bench 405 so he has strength..maybe in the future some 7 foot guy will diminate. It is hard to fill that frame..Brian and thor consume 10k calories a day and they eat all day when they are not training
Myself said on 11/May/18
@berta
I think there is a chanse of Zydrunas being more 190 than 191, since that is also the height he personally claimed here at 2:15
Click Here and listed here at 1:54
Click Here (in this same video Mariusz is listed 1.8, and he was listed 183 somewhere else too, so i doubt he is over 183 by any chanse; check this out
Click Here)
It could be an old measurement that he (Big Z) has been claiming for a while (just like me) since his teens and he actually grew a little after that, or he could be really 6'2.75 to 6'3 flat too.
Nevertheless still a good height for that sport, although i think in the future more and more men closer to 7 foot will begin appearing, since their maximum muscular potential is considerably higher...but i'm not an expert in this subject.
Still quite suprising how Eddie and Zydrunas manage to hold their own against pretty much giants like Shaw and Julius.
Yuval said on 10/May/18
And Big Z is like 42 years old..heavey(heaviest I should say?) lifting for 26 years..didnt lose that much height if any at all. Bill Kazmier too, heavy lifting no height loss. So lifting doesnt makes you shorter..no more then aging for sure. Arnold probably had issues and lost less then what is listed(never was 6'2)
berta said on 7/May/18
by the way everybody should check out world strongest man 2018 and you see that big z is little over 6 foot 3 he isnt that mutch shorter than hafthor and the other big guy
Yuval said on 6/May/18
Zydrunas is 191 cm for sure. How about Mariusz Pudzianowski? listed 6'1 but with Zydrunas he looks 6 foot. Also with Derek Poundstone(listed 6'1) he looks an inch shorter.
Berta said on 5/May/18
Rob keep a eye on big z because im 90 procent shore he is little over that. His shoes had atleast 1 inch but still he was taller in person than in photos. I still stand by my big z 191- 191.5 estimate and peter stormare max 187 and could be 186 today. There is way over 1 inch beetween them two
Depressed Schizophrenic said on 3/May/18
Want a real 6'3'' powerlifter try Zydrunas Savickas who easily edges this guy by a solid 4-5 cm ..
berta said on 28/Apr/18
keep in mind thoose guys always lift extreme weights and is half inch shorter in every photo than if they would have a resting day. i saw zavickas on a day where he didnt lift, he was just standing all day and taking photos and talking with fans. i can promise 100 procent that the shortest possible he ever is 190,5 biggest chanse is fraction over 191. i think this guy could be the same he looks 187 in most photos but if we would meet him on a rest day he could look 188. its just my opinion. i mean i have meet magnus samuelsson who says he is 2 meter and they always sad 6 foot 7 on world strongest man. But i edged him out at weak 197. so when i was going to meet zavickas and read 191 as his height i thought " this guy is probably no taller than 189" only guy that really was atleast his claimed height if not fraction more. Also i can believe magnus samuelsson have lost height after all thoose years of lifting. i could see when he walked that his back looked like he had som injury to it.
berta said on 28/Apr/18
all i can tell you guys is that i have meet Zavickas 6 month ago ore something like that and he is the only guy that was taller than i thought. most celebs i have seen ore meet have been 2-3 cm shorter than they look. for example peter storamre looks 188-189 in movies but beside a carpenter who i have meet he doesnt look over 185. could actually look 184 ( but he can have lost a little height since peak) Zavickas is legit 6 foot 3 i promise you guys because my borter is 190,5 cm to be exact and i saw that zavickas edged him out in the photo tegether and ovarall when they stood beside eath other. i Can tell you that there is 2 inches beetween peter stormare and zavickas and there is no way he is under 191 cm. my guess is 191-191,5 with extremelly good posture that make him look 192.
Yuval said on 17/Apr/18
Big z is 3 cm taller then Hall..
depressed schizophrenic said on 14/Apr/18
ROB would you estimate Zavickas height to be legit 6'3?

Closer to 6ft 3 than Eddie Hall ever was!
depressed schizophrenic said on 14/Apr/18
Just lol @ 6'3
Yuval said on 13/Apr/18
Colin Bryce is listed 188 cm.There are a lot of photos and interviews of them together, Eddie is at most tall as him and can look 1-2 cm shorter.
berta said on 9/Apr/18
i think the listing is good. he is around 4,5-5 cm shorter than Zydrunas Zavickas who i meet. and he is a very very legit 6 foot 3 guy i would say around 191-191,5
Yas said on 26/Feb/18
That 1100lbs deadlift robbed him of 2 inches lol.
Josh Jeffords said on 10/Feb/18
6 1 .5 if he stands up straight more 6 1 most times benchers and super heavy power lifters have awful posture.
He is nowhere near his claim 6 3 guy mildly tower him even bird chesting.
Great lifter, amazing presser and he may have won wsm even without controversy.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Feb/18
I suppose he could stretch up to near 187cm
Joah said on 4/Feb/18
Pretty much how i see him 6 1 maybe .5 very heavy.
Well under 6 3s and some 6 2 ers even old guys.
Did have an amazing couple years could get away any claim right now.
just because said on 20/Jan/18
weighing 30 stone and deadlifting 80 stone must have a negative effect on the spine i would guess hes 6ft2
Yuval said on 19/Jan/18
So he is not so tall for a strongman..intresting though he do not look 4 inches shorter them Robert obsert who is 6'6
A Man said on 7/Jan/18
Yeah I'd go a flat 6,1" for Eddie, nothing above that.
6,2.75" for Big Z
6,7.25" for Shaw

6,5" Terry Hollands

needs a downgrade 6'1 no more looks about 2 inches shorter than legit 6'3 big Z
bazza said on 4/Jan/18
i was thinking his height seemed pretty inflated when watching WSM, current listing looks more realistic seems a weak 6'2 at best. Perhaps the 6'3 claim is with his chunky trainers on but no way he is barefoot.
Jacob said on 1/Jan/18
Considering he’s below average height for strong man is crazy definitely would seem nice talking to him on the street

I am 5 '10.5 and i took a pic with him we are about the same height, i say eddie is 5 '10.75
Myself said on 26/Dec/17
In the same video you linked here Rob, Joshua looks shorter or at least same height while sitting, compared to Eddie. Does he have a long inseam? Or maybe it's just that since his legs are longer, the posture he is forced to sit in makes his hip bone to rotate in a way so that his lower back is less straight and more curved.
I read that black people tend to have longer inseam (% of height) compared to asians, and europeans are in the middle of the two.
Editor Rob
remember also if you have a big behind, that can effect sitting height, but I think Anthony does have quite long legs in person.
Blake said on 22/Dec/17
Rob, how tall would you say the youtuber the true geordie is next Eddie Hall? He has claimed 6 ft 4 and 3 on twitter and I buy it

the True Geordie can look a good inch taller than Eddie.

6ft3 looks extreme barefoot but anywhere 6ft1-2 is arguable...

@Rob do you think he might be 6'2 or 6'2.25?

well his 6ft 3 claim is suspect, I mean with
Anthony Joshua he looks well under 6ft 2...you might argue at times Eddie doesn't look much over 6ft 1.
Look at the start of the clip
With Anthony and Eddie...looks a good 4 inches
