Jdubzz, several years ago in nyc i met a guy who claimed 7'2. Was he actually 7'2 not certain but likely. That tall its too hard to guess. Totally towered. I should took pic with him. Definitely a giant he was
Henrik said on 6/May/23
The website I looked at said that giant legally started at 220cm and then translated it to 7ft but that's inaccurate. 7ft is 213cm and 220cm would be 7ft 2.

@Darksol64
"Especially surprised you feel that way as a 186 guy. I'm like 187.5 and I'm literally only looking up a little bit to be eye to eye with a 6'4 guy."
To be fair, 187.5 to 193cm is a pretty noticeable difference. Over 2 inches. In my opinion they're in two different categories, solid tall vs lower end of very tall. I completely agree with everything else you said though, especially regarding giants. Even 7'0 is too low of a cutoff in my book. I think the minimum height for a true "giant" is around 220cm, which is just over 7'2 IIRC.
7'2 would qualify too, but I just like round numbers. Look at the Dutch giant, who is around 7'2. He just dwarfs everyone he comes across (other than that one pic where he is standing next to two 8 footers). I've seen multiple 6'9 - 6'11 guys before and a single 7'2-3 guy. The guy over 7 foot left a TOTALLY different impression on me than the sub 7 footers. Night and day difference.
Henrik said on 6/May/23
Giant would start at 7ft or something like that. Yup, I just looked it up quickly and that seems to the legal definition of the term.

@ Tawehret
6'4 Giant? Nah man....I mean maybe in the shortest countries in the world or something, but in 99% of the world not even close to giant.
Especially surprised you feel that way as a 186 guy. I'm like 187.5 and I'm literally only looking up a little bit to be eye to eye with a 6'4 guy.
Definitely in the very tall zone but no giant. For most of the world giant would start at 6'10 minimum in my opinion. Although 7'2 guys make the best true giants.
Alex 6'0 said on 5/May/23
Jdubzz, yea I'm typically solid 6'1 range in my sneakers but if morning in shoes definitely nearer 6'2 which would be the listing. Recently 6'1.25 in sneakers in the afternoon

Yeah that's what I assumed. East Asians have the shortest limbs relative to their heights while Africans have the longest. Caucasians are typically somewhere in the middle.

To me if you’re 6’3 you’re extremely tall and 6’4 is in that giant catergory. This is coming from a guy who’s 186 cm, tall is an understatement for those heights
What country do you live in? 6'4 is miles away from "giant" in the Western world.

@Jdubbz
Body build varies but generally East Asians and Caucasians have long trunks in comparison to West Africans. East Asians characteristically have especially short forearms and lower legs while West Africans on the contrary can sometimes have long forearms.
A good illustration of this is John Carpenter's movie They Live! with Roddy Piper and Keith David. Piper and David were roughly the same height and David's longer legs made him appear at least a solid 6ft 4 on occasion.
Rapha said on 5/May/23
My standards for categorization for tall in western countries is as follow: 183 cm to 190 cm tall;
191 cm to 200 cm very tall
201 cm to 209 cm extremely tall
210 cm and above giant
Now those standards can change depending on the location: i could easily believe that a 180 cm man can be considered very tall in south east asia and a 190 cm man as as extremely tall or almost giant stature over there.

Yeah I think I know what video you're talking about. That's where he compares height with another very similar (6'8 I think) streamer right? 6'8 barefoot I can definitely believe. I doubt that's his low/evening height, but he definitely measures it a few hours out of bed.

Hafthor claimed recently that the 6'9 was back when he played ball, so in shoes. He said he is 6'8" barefoot. Can't remember which influencer he was talking with but its a very recent one on youtube.

@Henrik:
Very interesting. I know a few people irl with a wingpsan 5 - 7 inches greater than their height (one has a wingspan half an inch longer than mine despite being 4 inches shorter than me) and they are all black. I never noticed the correlation until now.
Would you see the reverse situation for asians? From what I can tell, they tend to have (proportionally) the biggest heads, longest torsos, and shortest limbs of any race. Pretty much the polar opposite of black people in terms of proportions.

Alex 6'0 said on 2/May/23
Jdubzz, theres some extremely tall guys who could think they're taller than they really are but yea usually they're correct or within a fraction. College basketball typically you get listed at least an inch taller than you measure right?
Yea there are definitely very tall guys who lie about being even taller (Ike Catcher, 6'7 or 6'7.5 saying he's 6'9, Hafthor Bjornsson 6'7 3/4 saying he's 6'9, etc.) but generally it seems to be less common than being honest.
I'm not sure how it is now given that even the NBA is starting to be honest about player heights, but typically the rule of thumb for college basketball is (or maybe was) shoe height rounded up, so more than an inch.
Basketball shoes are pretty thick as it is, so a guy your height would probably be listed at 6'2. I'd probably be listed at 6'8.

Hi Rob,
I watched your video where you showed that with the help of posture exercises you gained a few mm taller even though you were already an adult. In your opinion, is it possible to achieve even better results by stretching the joints and spine with daily repeated yoga exercises, hanging on the bar?

It's rare for a 6'7 guy to be lying (other than rounding up), so someone who claims that height usually is that tall. Main exceptions are basketball players and wrestlers.
After a certain height there is really no benefit to being taller, so there is no incentive to lie.
Which certain height would that be that there would be no benefit to being taller?

Rob, are you sure that on average a person can shrink further than 1-1.5cm or 1/2 inches throughout the day?
I heard once it is , in the vast majority of cases the maximum one can shrink daily. Typically,on a regular day one drops by 1-1.5cm.
Do you claim that shrinkage may vary every now and then to even almost an entire inch(2cm), depending on the intensity of the activities?
I heard some shrinking a full inch daily? Can you subscribe to this statement? Thank you dear Rob.

@Alex. 6.9.5 That’s the lowest height I would argue for a giant. Usually, the start of Giant for me would be 210 cm and not under it so that should be around 6’11.
Henrik said on 1/May/23
People of British Isles and Scandinavian descent on average have a wingspan that is 102-103 percent longer than their height (so roughly 1-2 inches longer). Irish people and Eastern Europeans on average have a 105+ percent longer reach.
You will more often find very long arms among African-Americans and black people e.g. Neil deGrasse Tyson is 6ft 2 with a 7ft wingspan. Although not all black people have a 'freakish' wingspan (as the NBA calls it) i.e. a reach exceeding their height 108 percent or more.

Editor Rob
Height can be distributed on the bell curve, but sometimes there's variations along it...
However, I think people probably remember the taller 6ft 4 men more than the 5ft 2 range men, so could believe there are a lot more 6ft 4 guys walking about.
I've seen a lot of 5ft 2-3 guys around my town.

Rob, this is an unrelated comment but I'm adding it here so that it catches your eye as it's a recent post. Can you provide your verdict on Melissa Fumero's husband David Fumero's height. It's a huge puzzle for me. Hes listed at 5'11" on google(not true ofc). Surprisingly in his footwear pictures he can look atleast two inches taller than Melissa in heels but in a barefoot picture I saw of him and Melissa together on her Instagram the difference seems to very small! Maybe around an inch! Moreover he featured at the end of Mariah Carey's music video "Honey" 25 years ago and even then he was very close to Mariah in height! His height range is truly absurd. My honest guess for him would be between 5'8"-5'9". I think he's a strong lift wearer. Otherwise I'm really confused!

I'd have guessed in 5ft 10 range, but really haven't seen much of him.

Editor Rob
The balance between head size and body length might make 6ft 1-2 an ideal. But if you have a longer (or shorter) head, then it might effect things.
@Rob. I agree with you and i also realized that very slim men that have a longer head might appear taller than they are. I came to know a few guys that were in the 185-190 cm range and looked very tall ( possibly close to 195cm) .

6’7 could be considered extremely tall but definitely not a giant. Giant is at least 6’10, and those guys are very noticeably bigger than very tall or extremely tall 6’5-6’8 guys. They give a much different impression, especially if they’re built proportionally.

Hey Rob. If I very roughly measure about 171 cm 13 hours out of bed on a lazy day at home would you consider me closer to 5'7.5 or 5'7.25? I have admittedly also recently measured 173-174 cm in adidas samba maybe 8 hours or so out of bed
Similarly back in March 2022 I measured a bit over 168 cm 14 hours out of bed at home but also measured 171.5-172 cm in air maxes. Would you say I still could've been closer to 5'6.5 than 5'6.25?

@James B 172cm
The tallest guy I know has to be about 6ft 8. Even though he claims 6ft 10, I am expecting 6ft 10 to a bit greater in person, which is pretty much why I was bonking his height down a couple notches. Though seems like a nice guy. Then the other day several months ago. A guy in my area who I frequently see, I'm guessing maybe 6ft 7. Though from afar on the sidewalk when I was walking towards his direction and he was walking towards mine, he could be anything, 6ft, 6ft 1, 6ft 2, so of course I wouldn't care much. That was until the moment when he was at least 20ft away from me, that was when I noticed how huge he was. Saw him again, at my local Subway when the floor is leveled, his height was quite a sight to behold I can say that much. But other than that, I don't remember much If I've seen any others that are at least 2m tall. Once in a while, I do see some guys that are at least 6ft 5. Which without careful precision, I would've mistaken them as 6ft 7.

But then I'm living in a small town with a population of only around 10,000. The average height of 5'9 and change seems about correct.

But if his head is 11 inches long and I’m already under it when he’s slouching by about 1 inch or 2 when he stand up straight I could be 4-5 inches under it. Here’s 1 more pic when he’s standing a little straighter.

Lol as soon as I say I’ve never met a 7 foot guy in person I met a 7’5 guy at the mall. He is @mamadou.75 from tiktok. His head has to be at least 11 inches long not quite as big an andres but still huge. so here’s me next to him at 6’1.5
Weird, I know he's a legit 7'5, but he looks barely a foot taller than you there. Is he losing that much height with his posture?
Jdubbz said on 11/Apr/23
@Henrik:
Nah. An inch tops. Wrestlers are billed way taller than they really are, but not the general public.

His head looks very big in that shot.
You guys can Google him his name is “Mamadou N’diaye”. He was slouching in my pic but if he stood up straight I would be a few inches under his chin. Here’s 1 last pic of him for a better angle.

It seems that in the USA, adding two inches to your height is quite common. 6ft 2 wrestlers are called 6ft 4.

Rob, out of bed I get the most consistent measurements of 5’11 1/4-3/8 out of bed, 5’10.875 mid day, and just under 5’10.5 at night. I do feel as though I’d appear a little bit taller than KSI does. I claim 5’11 and feel as that’s an honest claim, though “slightly over 5’11” hasn’t slipped my mind. Would 5’10 3/4 be a more honest claim?
Editor Rob
5ft 10.75 would be a very precise claim. Whether you want to go with that or something like 'about/almost' 5ft 11 is up to you.

hello Rob, I was wondering my brother is around 13-14 cm taller than our 173 cm fridge (he can see over it) I was curious if that was a lady what kind of heel would she need to reach his height?
Editor Rob
If she were 173cm, it's really needing a platformed heel with 1.25-1.5 inches in the front and a decently high angle to get the same height.

I want to be able to do the following movements, go to the gym and work out upper body, so footwear irrelevant for that. Do cardio on stationary bike (elliptical) without causing knee or ankle pressure, walk around long distances outdoors, without looking suspicious, indoor use while looking casual. That's it
Out of the ones I linked and the site I linked, which seems the best for my purposes? I would appreciate ur help
Editor Rob
I don't know the quality of the ones on the previous page, but some of them look reasonable (the fabric/mesh style) for the purposes you want.
But I can't really recommend any without trying.
Footwear fits different. One person might find their Air Jordan One fit well, whilst a good proportion might want to bin them after a week of attempting to 'break em in'.

Sup Rob, long time no see
Could you to help me out, I'm going to buy 2 pairs of elevator shoes which ones look the most inconspicuous? One for indoors and one for wearing to college and outdoors, my gait shouldn't be weird or affected too much. Inconspicuous and comfortable long term is the priority. Since it has a curved midsole rather than elevated heel from shoe lifts I don't think it should be bad for your knees or anything like that
I'm thinking..
Indoors, these tennis shoes type:
Click Here the navy blue colour
Outdoors:
Click Here (looks good but has an obvious heel) or
Click Here (looks bland but inconspicuous) or
Click Here (the black one looks cool and just looks like a normal sports shoe)
What do you think? Also 2.75 inch or 3.1 inch if I want to appear 1.5-2 inches taller compared to normal accounting for any shrinkage? Remember I'm talking almost daily use. Thanks
Editor Rob
Personally if I were wearing them, the blue suede type looked fine. The black boot I wasn't keen on.
The American football style shoe is probably the sturdiest and could get the most height, because the heel already is a decent thickness.
With the black boot and brown/white tennis shoe, they might not give as much height as you expect (or advertised) because the heel section is thinner to start off with.

There are loads of red foxes round our way, but I’d have to travel up north to see a black fox, and even they have white tips at the end of their tails. It was fascinating to see these tiny foxes, and I am wondering when they will change to red.
The male fox hunts for food and the female looks after the young.

Gerald, 184 is a joke for Salvatore, just like 180 for Marco! Interestingly, they were listed at 180 and 177 in a sort of reality show they did sometime ago... Where they came from I don't know, but that's the kind of range I could see them, AT MOST. Salvatore in particular can actually look under that a lot in photos.

Hey Rob, I think you said on YouTube that old video cassette (VHS) boxes are good objects to use for measurement and on par with stadiometers. When I use a VHS box, I think I get about 0.5cm less than when I use an old computer software/game big box. I'm not sure if the VHS box is fully reaching the very top of my head. Do you think the big box might be overmeasuring? I feel like it *should* be more accurate but I'm not the expert with access to a stadiometer. 🤔
The big box gave 187.8-9cm, the VHS box 187.3-5cm (yeah, it did fluctuate a little between measurements).
I believe I did measure precisely 188cm on the dot at noon, 4-5 hours after being up, the last time I was measured under a stadiometer which was quite a few years ago (so there may be a lapse in the memory, I guess).
Editor Rob
the actual video cassette itself is perfectly fine as it's solid. Its just over 7.25 inches long for a VHS so as long as your nose is pretty close to the wall it will hit the high spot.

Hey Rob, just to get an accurate and specific final listing on this website. What would've been my measurement on this page(just reminding you our previous conversations that I'm the guy who measured 181.5cm or 5'11.5 at 18:30 , after having wokenup around 8:10). The previous night I went to bed at like 00:30.
Moreover, On to same day I drove to the beach back and forth each time about 20 minutes or half and hour, swam for approximately 40 minutes. Later on I ran for 35 minutes at the gym, drove my car to take my grandparents' home , back and forth for about 40 minutes.
On a different occasion I measured just over 1.82m (182.1-182.2cm 5'11.75 to be precise, about an hour out of bed).
Having done these two measurements and the activities , what would be my final specific listing in your opinion? 5'11 1/2 5'11 2/3 or 5'11 3/4?
Editor Rob
5ft 11.75 would be a realistic listing

Hi Rob, Jenny and all visitors,
I was on my way to the outside toilet when I noticed the two foxes who hang out together at the back. There were some dark grey little tiny animals with them and then I realised that they’ve had cubs! I’m very excited, having never seen foxes this small. I put some food out but Melazier ate it! I’ll have to make them some catfood sandwiches, as cats don’t tend to like bread…..
Have a happy week everyone! 🦊🦊💐🤗👌🏼 XXXXX

That's great to see cubs. Strangely not seen as many foxes around our garden the last few months!

Rob , how many cms would a ASICS gel lose , I checked my height other day and it increased it by 2 cm, so if I keep wearing them for another year would soles lose more ?
Editor Rob
That's going to vary amongst models. A lot of these sneakers can have hollow sections and lose a cm after a few years.
The gel pair I have, well I can't find them so haven't worn them much...but knowing the problem with sneakers and age, by the time I find them and wear them, they'll probably only last a few months!

Definitely no one over 7'0
As Rob says if you go to an airport or bigger city statistically you will see some 6'7-6'9 guys and rarely a 6'11-7'1 guy will pop up.
They say there are only a few thousand 7'0+ people
I think the number must be 3,000-4,000 especially since a lot will have some medical condition.

Can you add Jim Nabors and Bob Crane one day?
They are famous sitcom actors
Jim Nabors played Gomer Pyle in Gomer Pyle USMC show which is a spin off from Andy Griffith show. He was also I'm the earlier Andy Griffith episodes before Gomer Pyle.
He is listed as 6'0 and 6'1
I think
Here is a video with Don Knotts and Andy Griffith:
Click Here
You can see Nabors is almost an inch taller than weak 6'0 Andy Griffith (possibly closer to 5'11.5)
And he is 5-5.5 inches taller than Knotts
I think 6'0.5 or 6'0.75 is fair for Nabors.
Bob Crane was in Hogan's heroes
He is listed at 5'10 which seems fair

Hiya Rob, some measured a lot of times standing tall same stance for an hour and lost 9mm all together down to a unusual low, but kept fluctuating up and down 3mm between measurements near the end at night. Would their true height listed on here be 3mm more than the lowest measurement? Thanks again.
Editor Rob
I'd typically say a 1/4 inch over lowest evening is a fair listing.
Also repeated measurements over a short period might cause some fatigue and lose you height quicker. Maybe the strain on the back?

@Sandy. Sorry for my late reply. I agree with you that height in our societies are a variable that is important.
I believe that for men, it would be more important in professional life than for women I read an article that stated the maximum income a man can get in a company would be around a height of 190 cm.
If you are taller you will not earn but of you are shorter than 190 cm , your salary will decrease for every cm by 1%.
I do not think this apply to women and I am not sure how accurate that is. That would mean that a 190 cm man will earn 20% more than a 170 cm a man, obviously qualifications and experiences are equivalent for both participants.

I got another question.. my cousin measures in the evening 1.88m or 6'2 on the dot at 18:30 . He woke up at about 9 o'clock or so. Is it possible he's 1.90m or 6'3 out of bed? I told him once that if he measures 6'2 in the evening, then he's at least 6'2.5 or 1.89m, or could even legitimately scrape 6'3(1.90m). What's the most legitimate claim in your opinion Rob. Thanks for your feedback!
Editor Rob
Highly likely he is near 190cm range out of bed. Many with those stats would go with the middle value, or near mid-day which would be 189cm.

Editor Rob
The vast majority of guys who are 5ft 11.5 would want to round up.
If I were that range if not claiming 5ft 11 and a half I'd go with 'almost' 6ft.
@oren. I agree with Rob. In imperial measurements, I would also claim 6 feet. Additionally, you are certainly 6 ft or 183 cm straight out of bed 👍

Rob, i just discovered old army passport of my late grandfather, and he was measured 170 cm during the army at age 21, and grew to 173 cm in his adulthood! Just like my father who was 175 cm in the army at age 18.8, and now is 178 cm. Do you think i have high chances of growing near 181?
Editor Rob
Could be in the genes!
bmb said on 24/Mar/23
@Rob By very late evening hours with proper measuring utensils. I am 5ft 9 5/8". Do you classify that as 5ft 9 3/4" or a weak 5ft 10?
Editor Rob
Yeah you fall into weaker 5ft 10 range, but most people who meet you are likely going to guess you at 5ft 10.
oren metser said on 23/Mar/23
Oren Metser.Resuming to our conversation, I'm assuming I'll stick to my 1.82m claim , since I once even manage to get 182.2cm an hour and a half out of bed. I definitely think if I had to state my height as an imperial measurment I'd say - a weak 6 ft/ nearly a legit 6 footer/ about 6 ft. Thanks for your feedback Rob! Keep standing tall.
James.B 172cm said on 23/Mar/23
Rob was the average height for 18-20 year old range in the UK back in 2008 5ft10 or more 5ft9?
Editor Rob
Don't think the stats have shifted much over last decade, so near 5ft 10 then.

Today I trained in the gym. I trained my chest and shoulders, and took many sets and reps too, and I also ran for 5 minutes . I trained for an hour or so. And I showered too, and after all of that I managed to measure 5’9 5/8 as my extreme low.
If my normal low is 5’9 3/4 or 177.3 cm, then is it normal that I maybe on intense days can get to 176.5 cm?
dreus23 said on 23/Mar/23

Maybe 182 cm?
oren metser said on 23/Mar/23
I think Rob should get an upgrade of 174cm 5'8 1/2
oren metser said on 23/Mar/23
Thanks Rob for responding to my question. I , on another occasion, managed to reach even 182.2cm or 5'11.75 , about an hour out of bed . I think your recommendation is the finest of all. I'ma stick to either your verdict( nearly a legit 6 ft , a fraction shorter than 6 or alternatively 1.82m. TTYL!
Editor Rob
The vast majority of guys who are 5ft 11.5 would want to round up.
If I were that range if not claiming 5ft 11 and a half I'd go with 'almost' 6ft.

What is your shoulder width, Rob? And how does one measure it? From the underlying bony structures / bicromial width?
I’m willing to bet Robs shoulder width is 17.5-6 inches. Guys between 5’6-5’9.5 who have normal shoulders will be in the 17-17.5 range. Guys between 5’10-6’1.5 will have 18-18.5 on average. These are just starting numbers. My dad is 5’9.5 and his shoulder width is 17.5 inches and I’m 6’1.5 and mine is 18.5 so that can help prove these numbers even more. Here’s a couple videos that i used to help measure mine.

Progking185 said on 22/Mar/23
@ZachCatselbow yeah that is probably about the normal height range I guess. Maybe 6'3 instead of 6'2 as I think that is a kind of regular tall height, around 6'4+ definitely very tall

@vY - it varies by race.
White American males: 5'7"-6'1"
Black American males: 5'6"-6'0"
Asian/Hispanic American males: 5'4"-5'10"
This is for young males, based on CDC data, with a standard deviation (~3 inches) on either side of the mean as the bounds for normal heights, rounded to the nearest inch
oren metser said on 22/Mar/23
Averaging out, 5'8.5 or 174cm is the fairest, 5'9 or 175cm would still kick in
oren metser said on 22/Mar/23
Hey Rob , I gotta ask you what height is the fairest to claim if on a given day I measured 1.815m or 5'11.5 at 18:30, went to bed at around 00:20 and woke up at like 8 or 8:10?That day, I swam at the beach for 30-40 minutes, went for a run for 35 minutes. I'm used to claiming 1.82m or a fraction shorter than 6'0.. In your opinion, what's the fairest claim, according these details- 5'11.5 , 1.82m or just bump my height up to 6 ft? N.B I also once measured in the morning 182.1cm or 5'11.7
Editor Rob
You could always say almost/about 6ft if you like.

Rob I think i ask this question before but I don’t remember ur answer but does lifting weights at the gym affect height loss with age and make you shrink faster?

It can be many years of big loads on the spine, and poorer techniques that can raise the risk of disc damage.

Hey Rob, for American males, what would you say “normal height” is? I would say 5’4” to 6’2”.
I would say 5’4-6’5 for men in America in my opinion. If I see someone taller than 6’5 in public ill usually look twice at them or point them out to whoever I’m with maybe. And if I see a guy under 5’4 I’ll also look twice maybe because it’s rare to be an adult under 5’4 also
avi said on 20/Mar/23
@Rob
Have you ever seen any studies on how countries like Holland and some of the Balkan countries with alleged areas that have a 6'1-6'2 average (e.g dineric alps) will affect health and if any concerns?
If the stories are true that average height in Holland is roughly 6'0 (and some anecdotal mentions of 6'2 average in Dineric alps) there would be a larger population of 6'3-6'6 guys than normal statistical average.
Based on years of research it has been proven cancer is higher along with risk of blot clots, joint/back pain etc
I wonder if Holland and other areas will experience a higher percentage of these issues as time goes by.
It seems the most ideal height for men is 5'10-6'2.
I think 6'3-6'4 gets too big and there is proven issues with being those heights (in general) as cited above.
Editor Rob
I can't remember specifically reading about the health/height topic in those countries.
avi said on 20/Mar/23
@Zach Catselbow
Definitely not 5'4
I would say 5'6-6'3
With a more narrow range of 5'7-6'2
Generally most fall in here.
There are a good amount of 5'5 men but most men will get to at least 5'6-5'7

He measured 6’6 7/8 at the combine and there are pics with he and Peyton Manning when he was his backup. Chances are the over 6’7 was very early morning at ASU and that he’s 6’6 7/8 after being up a couple of few hours. I’d bet 6’6 5/8 at a low is a best case. He isn’t even 2” taller than Peyton but this measurement is probably ok. It does look about 1.5” at least

I was in so much of a shock that I belched seven times in a row trying to lift him!

Mr-174 said on 17/Mar/23
Hey Big Rob. When I measured myself almost 2 years ago it was 1 Hour after bed and I was 173.5cm I felt really insecure. Whenever I would tell people I’m 5’9 I always felt like a fraud.
I just turned 22 A month ago and decided to finally measure myself and it shows 174cm 9 hours after bed. I can’t say I’m any happier but at least it’s progress.
Is that a notable amount of growth for someone in theirs 20s? I always had bad posture and recently just started correcting it 3 months ago by just sitting properly straight in my chair (no posture exercises or stretching) Did that play a role to my height gain?
Editor Rob
Might have been a final little bit of height and you are now probably looking about 5ft 9 to most folk.

Hey Rob, measured myself for the first time in a while. After a long day of school about a bit over 13 hours of awakening I got 167.4 cm, so I’m assuming this is my low. What do you reckon I wake up at, I’ve never really been able to do a proper morning measurement?

It's unlikely you'll shrink below that. Enough to go with 5ft 6 as a comfortable claim.

I just know he consistently claimed to be 178 cm and looks so next to my 177 cm uncle, i also saw his medical file where he was measured 178 cm and 94 kg just bit over 2 years ago at age 48. I believe he could measure close to 5'10 1/8 to 1/4, the latter is strong possibility when he was younger definitely, as he is 50 years old right now. He also grew over an inch after age 18-19,(measured 175 cm in the army at age 18 years and 8 months) which is age i am at right now, do you expect me to eventually grow to 5'11?

I’m sure you might grow a bit taller, but it’s complicated to say how much growth you have left. Try to take the Tanner stage calculator…
dreus23 said on 15/Mar/23
@Discord
I actually thought you looked taller than him there, and he's at best the same height as you. Your eye level seems to be similar but looking at the back of his head it seems you're a bit taller. I don't really know why people think you look downright "shorter" than him if I'm comparing you to the right person
@Vy
I feel like that's such a myth though. I mean, it's definitely backed by science, but I know girls who grew an inch or more after turning 17, and typically science says that girls completely stop growing at 15 or so. I also know a guy who grew from like 5'5-5'5.5 to at the very least 5'6 multiple months after turning 18. You and I seem to be in a similar situation though, I measured around 5'6.5 age 17 and now age 18 I measure around 5'7.5. You'll probably reach 6'2 by the time you're done and I'll probably be 5'8

Of course, but you will be in the minority if you gained anything like 2-3 inches at that stage.

It is not unusual to grow taller past the age of 18, and it's not only 2% of males who grew just a bit past 18.
May I ask if you can prove by any academic evidence that only 2% of males grow at least a bit past 18?
From my own experience then i started puberty at 14, and since i turned 18 i have grown like 3 cm of height, and by the tanner stage calculator i am at stage 4.5, so i still have a bit of growth left + also to fix my posture and anterior pelvic tilt and so on, and current im 19 and 4 months old and i am still growing steadily.

No way growth after 18 is that rare. Maybe only 2% grow a SIGNIFICANT amount after 18, but just growth in general? Guys usually grow until 19-20.

The stadiometer in my high school was exactly the same as the one I showed in the link from screenshots I found. And the rod was made out of plastic, and it also measured me at 5’9 5/8 by standing tall. But I did stand tall before my second attempt.
I wouldn’t consider that piece of stadiometer any accurate.
With the can against the wall I always measure between 177 and 178 at my low, and at my extreme low I can get 176.8-177.0 cm.

It looks like it should be reasonable, but if you could bring a tape measure and run the tape from the part your heels sit right up to the bar, it will reveal if there's any error.

@ Rapha - I cannot ever remember NOT being interested in height because people are treated according to their height and size as a whole. I can’t say I’d like to be a height which makes me stand out, but it would seem that I stand out for being short. I live near London in quite an affluent area, and I’d definitely say that it’s a rarity to go out and find more than one person who is shorter than I am. Last time I nipped out, I didn’t see anyone, and even two elderly dog walkers I spoke with were taller.
In many respects, I’ve found it imperative to feel the necessity to ‘make up for’ my lack of height by trying extra hard - at school, for instance. The kids in my (private) school were definitely above average, though one girl was an early developer, and a little shorter, but exactly 40 pounds heavier than my 81 pounds. I weighed this when I took my mock ‘O’ levels, and felt the cold something dreadful. I did six hours of homework a night.
I’ve survived on milk-based products throughout much of my adult life, but it hasn’t helped maintain my calcium levels. I’m going to try the calcium supplements that Jdubbz has recommended. I’d LOVE a couple more centimetres!
Thank you very much indeed for your reply, Rapha! 😆👌🏼

@ Jdubbz - I have been prescribed some huge calcium tablets, but they aren’t very nice to take. I used to find some nice, soft strawberry ones at one time, but I have lapsed with them too. I’ll try to find them online. I’m going to write down bisphosphinate on my calendar and ask my doctor for them. The thought of actually gaining height sounds brilliant, and 2cm would make a very pleasing difference.
Thank you so much! 😁👍🏼
