I think he’s decent 6ft as well
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Oct/22
Yeah Arch, that doesn’t look right on this guy. No less than 85kg though, probably closer to 90kg. He’s ripped
Arch Stanton said on 8/Oct/22
I've now got my 32 waist after many months of consistent running and calorie watching. 197 pounds currently, in great shape. There is absolutely no way this guy is a legit 217 lbs with his level of muscle mass. 217 at 6 ft would definitely look more like Gavin Henson. I think he does look about 6 ft though.

When I said I struggle to breathe in an XL shirt I wasn’t exaggerating. My stepdad (who’s 5’8.5 and wears an XL because he’s got a massive gut, his waist circumference is 40” or 42”) let me try some of his old shirts on. Not only was the movement in my arms limited because of the width of my shoulders and the material clearly stretching to fit my arms, but I had the top 3 buttons undone and it looked on the verge of tearing open. I legitimately had to take shallow breaths to not rip the shirt’s buttons

50' chest
50 FOOT CHEST? HOW WOULD YOU GET THAT BIG? THATS 15 METRES WHAT THE HELL?
Editor Rob
the difference an apostrophe makes, eh!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Jul/21
I struggled to put on muscle for years...I used to be a walking lamppost. Not sure I buy 15st for this dude but maybe it's just well concealed
Arch Stanton said on 15/Jul/21
50' chest is starting to get really bulky, you must lift heavy regularly to be that! Heavy bench pressing and dumbell presses over years and high protein intake will add up over time. I've long been a guy who is more impressed with the lean. athletic look though, a guy like David Goggins looks better at 185 lbs than he did at 300! This year I just felt like lifting heavier again and doing a lot of leg training. But I don't want to get much heavier than I am currently!
Arch Stanton said on 15/Jul/21
A tad over 6'1 at my lowest, 46.5 chest, 16.5 arms, 34.5 waist, 33.5' inseam, 25 inch thighs, 10.5-11 UK shoe last time I checked. I had a 48' ten years ago when I was training heavy! I mean I guy like Brian Shaw weighs 420 lbs and has a 59 chest. That's huge LOL! I would be very surprised if Gethin was heavier than me currently, but maybe he is bigger boned than we think. :-) I was a 33 waist a few summers back, difficult to maintain it under 34, I like my food!

@Arch your statement makes me curious. How tall are you/what are your measurements? Cause I said I've got a huge chest cause its 50" and my arms are 17". If I put on an XL tshirt I can barely breathe and my arms have limited movement. There's a photo of me in a tight green t-shirt in July (I was about 230-something pounds then for reference) and you can see my pecs and tge top row of abs through it (it doesn't make my waist look great cause I still had a fair bit of fat around it at the time)
Arch Stanton said on 18/May/21
I had him down as a 5'10.5-5'11 type of guy, 6 ft was taller than I thought. Yeah it's a very sus 15 and a half stone, he looks about 14stone - about 200 lbs to me. I weighed in at 15 stone 1.8 lbs last night, swear on my mother's life! Heaviest I've been in ages, but this time lower body fat and better muscle definition than I've ever had in my life. Not even close to having "huge arms and chest" like Chaos, but it starts to feel quite big, I would be surprised if Gethin was genuinely five pounds heavier.
Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 8/Mar/21
No way he’s 15 stone. I’m barely 15 stone (14st 11 last weekend) and 2.5” taller than him and I’ve got a huge chest and huge legs
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Nov/20
6ft1 is a shoe height for definite
J2Frenzy said on 22/Nov/20
@Arch I’m guessing 190lbs max for Gethin based on that picture
Leesheff85 said on 22/Nov/20
Khaled I dont think gemma looks a full inch shorter than gethin here. Maybe half an inch and her shoes would make her 6ft 0 1/2 tall and his shoes 6ft 1 so 5ft 9 is about right for gemma no less than 5ft 8 3/4 for her
Arch Stanton said on 21/Nov/20
Though even Laird looks lighter than that today as he's always in the sauna sweating pounds off!
Arch Stanton said on 21/Nov/20
Yup, Laird Hamilton is what a real fit 215 pound guy looks like, Hugh Jackman close to that at his heaviest and both taller than Gethin too. Gethin is a fit guy but he's fairly trim in frame, looks more like a swimmer. A legit 6' 217 lb guy would definitely look bulkier in the chest and arms.

Hi @Rob , If Gethin Jones is only 6'0" , then Gemma Atkinson can't be 5'9".
If we say he is 6'1" in the pic (with shoes) , Gemma looks an inch shorter , so she is 6'0" with 4" heels , doesn't that make her 5'8" or 5'8.5" at most ?
Editor Rob
a bit more than 3 inches yes, but those heels wouldn't give as much as 4 inches.
you can see Gethin near
joe calzaghe. His 6ft 1 claim looks impossible really.
J2Frenzy said on 20/Nov/20
@Arch yeah I’m only 15 stone and 2-3 inches taller than him and I’m far broader
Tunman said on 20/Nov/20
Rob,out of curiosity,why are you sometimes choosing "british" and other times english,scottish,welsh?Sure,GB is composed of that 3 countries,but I'm just pointing to the fact that it's useless to say british if you're going by nationality.Btw do scottish people call themselves british or rather scottish?
Yeah,doesn't look like he would be 217lbs on that pic,probably that he shaved 20-25lbs.
Editor Rob
Well on our passports we are British...but it's more a legacy description used more often in the formative years of the site and less and less as time goes on.
I've slowly changed some of the old 'British' descriptions over the years.
OriginalAnon said on 20/Nov/20
I can't buy 6' for this guy. 5'11'' range, maybe 181 is more likely. No way is he 183cm.
Arch Stanton said on 20/Nov/20
Bigger than I would have guessed. I had him down as a 5'10-11 type of guy but in looking he does look it. He doesn't look anywhere near 15 and a half stone though, I'd have guessed more like 14 stone.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 20/Nov/20
I'm a-thinking that Gethin could almost certainly pass for a strong six one in the photo above, but anyone who's clued into basic fashion rules will be aware that to wear any one colour from head to toe and not breaking the line, as it were, gives your height a boost. The black look is simply gold dust and Gethin's lean physique all 'add' to his height.
⭐ It is rammed into our fashion dress code psyches from teenagehood onwards that wearing two vastly different hues will 'cut your height in two', a rule I remember very well. It's stark staring obvious that this applies to guys as well, so if you're not too happy about your height, and want to allude your circle of friends and acquaintances into taking you for taller, keep this little rule on the back burner! 😜
6ft and half-an-inch.
