Height Loss - Page 2

Damdam said on 27/Mar/20
Good morning, Rob,

I have a question about the size of the morning and the evening, does our morning size affect our evening size?

By that I mean that we have two sizes in the morning, whose maximum size we reach after a good sleep of 8/9 hours which can be 1/4 inch higher.

Does this mean that if I get up to my maximum size my evening size will also be 1/4 inch higher?

For example:
I lose 2 cm a day
I get up after a good sleep at 170 cm and go down to 168 cm at night
So on a bad day, I get up at 169.5 cm and go down to 167.5 at night?

Is that how it works, rob?
Thank you

Edouard said on 27/Mar/20
I'm the author of the previous comment. Is it possible that I shrink about 3 cms because I usually drink daily only one or at most two glasses of water? Thanks rob for all that you do for us

Edouard said on 26/Mar/20
Hi Rob. I'm 179,5 out of bed (my peak), while my absolute lowest is 176,5 before bed. In your opinion is fair to claim 178 cm or should you go with 177 cm?

Alistar said on 25/Mar/20
Hi Rob,
I'm 176.5cm when I got out of bed and 174.5cm 11 hours later. Should I claim 176cm as my height?

Mark O'Connor said on 25/Mar/20
@Rob, I measure 187.5 at 5 p.m is still fair to claim 6'2?

The destroyer said on 20/Mar/20
Hi Rob, 4 hours after waking up I measure 182.4cm, majority of the 4 hours I’ve been walking a lot, what’s my low height before bed, do you think I manage to stay 182cm as my low or do you think I dip a little under 182cm?

Boy68 said on 19/Mar/20
@Big Rob, my max morning height is 182 and my lowest is 179. What height should I claim

Lumia said on 19/Mar/20
How many hours of sleep can we return to the highest height?
8 hours? 9hours?

Vick said on 17/Mar/20
Hi Rob,
I’m 5’11.5 in morning and 5’11 at night. Would it be far fetched if I said something like “close to 6 feet” or should I be more accurate and say “a little over 5’11”.

Tiiger said on 16/Mar/20
Hey Rob, my height before bed after a long day is 181.3-181.4 cm. I've been claiming 181 cm so far, but almost everybody thinks I'm taller than that is it fair enough for me to claim 182 cm although I don't feel right claiming a height that I can't reach for some time in a day?

Leon Evans said on 13/Mar/20
If my height is 181cm in evening is it possible my morning height is 183cm?

Timberlake said on 12/Mar/20
Why can't I recover to my highest height after 7 hours of sleep after exercise?

Linke said on 6/Mar/20
Rob, how common is it to lose height in 20's and 30's?

Also, how common is for a person to lose over 3 cms in a day?

Nora said on 5/Mar/20
Why did my height become shorter for four or five days after doing exercise hardly?
How do I get my height back?

Kennie said on 5/Mar/20
Hi Rob,
I measured myself today around after 1 hour of waking up: 184.5. What do you think my height right out of bed would be?

Mikel yang 123 said on 3/Mar/20
Hey rob I’m 180.2 cm before I sleep, I claim to be 181 cm y’all, is that right?

Jude Meters said on 3/Mar/20
Hi Rob, I got a strange question to ask you, when I measure myself on the wall in my room and the kitchen wall, I measure 181 in the morning and 179 at night on both walls. But when I measure myself on the living room wall, I measure 179 in the morning and 177 at night. I’d say that the two walls that I measure taller on are more accurate, but do you know why I measure a different height on the living room wall?

NathanielClancy said on 2/Mar/20
Hi Rob do you know if people with flat feet lose more height throughout the day. I wake up around 186cm, but I feel as though I lose quite a bit. Was wondering if you new anything about it?

Olegg said on 1/Mar/20
Rob, if we have two bald people standing next to each other and the other person is 1 cm taller than the other, do people notice the difference?

Jonny Clewett said on 29/Feb/20
Hi rob, if im 182.2cm at 11am whats my average height?

Jereth Jordan 179 said on 28/Feb/20
I'm 179 cm within the first minute of the morning, fully rested. I usually go with that lol

Carlodcx96 said on 26/Feb/20
Hi Rob, why it is not possible claim the morning height? I read some articles that you should measure height in the morning

Joseph175 said on 26/Feb/20
Hello Rob, if a person wakes up at 179.4 cm and goes to bed at 177.4 cm. What height should he claim?

Stefan said on 25/Feb/20
Hey rob,

Straight out of bed i am 181 cm but before bed i can be as low as 178.5

I was measured at the doctors at 180 around 10-11 in the morning once.

What height would you put me at in cm and feet?

Dany75 said on 25/Feb/20
Good morning Rob,

I’m 1m69,5 in the morning and 1m67,5 in the evening, so I lose two centimeters in the day, I want to be honest and feel good, saying 1m68 is okay?

Shermarke-Somalian said on 24/Feb/20
Hi Rob Before I was 187.7-187.2 cm barefoot out of bed and 185.2-184.2 cm before bed that was before.Now I suddenly measure 188.2 cm barefoot out of bed and 186.2 cm before bed to check,I went outside and played some football and which causes people to shrink and when I came back I measured and I was still 186.4 cm barefoot in the evening which is very shocking I am not writing this to brag about it I just want to share with you what I did I would drink many packages of Whole milk before bed and sleep many hours sometimes and I would take multivitamins after meals.I am currently 24 almost 25 in 1 march I really hope I am 188.2 cm barefoot in the morning which means my average height is 186-185 cm during the day

Joseph william said on 23/Feb/20
Good morning Rob.
If my morning height just after I woke up is 183.4cm and 6 hours later it becomes 181.5cm (measured in the doctor office after a long travel) and my absolute low is 181cm which height should I claim? is it fair if I claim to be 182cm ? is that means I'm gonna be the same size as Daniel Wu if I stood next to him?

Juvia said on 21/Feb/20
Aloha!

I get up at 178.0 and after 9 hours my height is 175.8~176.0.

How do I declare my height?


Is it the same as measuring height at home vs. hospital?
I mean hospital electronics or infrared equipment.

Carlodcx96 said on 20/Feb/20
Hi Rob! If I am 186,5 on morning and the evening 184,5 I could claim 186?

Anton_Blanco said on 16/Feb/20
Hi, big Rob!
Do you agree that if my height 30 seconds out of bed - 186,2 and before bed (after long hard day and gym in the evening) - 184,0 then I am solid 6’0,5” and almost 6’1”?
For calculating weight and ideal proportions in bodybuilding I need to know the exact height. What value do you recommend using as my height for sport?
Thank you!

5ft 11 7/8 in said on 14/Feb/20
What would be fairer in your opinion, 182 or 183?

Early Morning: 6ft 0⅝in - 184.5cm

jayp said on 14/Feb/20
Been up just over 11 hours today out of bed at 7am and measured just after 6pm but just been at home doing some house duties chores and studies etc so not too much and measured 3+ times at 174.5- 174.6 what height am I?

Vsquad said on 13/Feb/20
Rob. I just got home at around 6:00pm after being awake since 5:00am.

My feet have been burning all day, especially on the train ride home which was 1 hour and I was standing the whole time (and looking down at my phone). I measured myself immediately when I got home and I was below my usual 183.8 low mark... I never really dip below that but I don't know what happened today.

Like I said, my feet have been burning all day - they always burn after enough walking, I don't know if I have it worse than others or not. Or if it contributes to losing height.

I'm also lifting weights regularly even though my spine posture is bad (pelvic tilt). Am I making my spine permanently deformed like that if I keep lifting? Is it making me lose even more height?

I'm so bummed after measuring.

Aleksandr said on 12/Feb/20
Hello Rob. I’m 186,6-187cm right out of bed and 184,4-184,8 before. What is my legal height in cm and feet?

Kabir said on 12/Feb/20
Hi Rob,
My cousin measured himself 184.5cms or 184.6cms before bed and he was 187cms right out of bed.Is it fair to claim 6'1" for him and if not then what height should he claim?

NathanielClancy said on 12/Feb/20
Hi Rob if I’m about 184cm at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, what is my morning height do you reckon?

brodie said on 10/Feb/20
hi rob i just turned 16 and im 180.2cm fresh out of bed and 178.5cm at night how tall do you think i could be. My dad stopped growing just after 18. he was 179cm peak and my mother is 165cm.

Triplescrew said on 10/Feb/20
Rob, how long would you have to nap to regain a noticeable amount of your morning height? 30 minutes? An hour?

Let's say it's the afternoon and you've already pretty much hit your low. You lay down and get a solid 20-30 minute power nap in. Do you gain anything appreciable there or are we talking millimeters?

Joeshmoe said on 1/Feb/20
Hey Rob, do most people usually lose any more height after being up for 10 hours? Like, would being up for a whole day be any different?

Hanne said on 26/Jan/20
@Baws

Wow, have you grown a centimeter since you were 24? How tall were you when you were 20/21?

What did you eat or did you exercise to make you taller?

I’m 20yo now and I’m 177.9-178.1(out of bed) lol
I wanna become legit 5’10 ( ･᷄ὢ･᷅ )

BroBroD said on 23/Jan/20
If my afternoon height is 180cm, how tall am I 181 or 182cm
I’m just about 184cm in trainers in the morning on a good day I’m 184 cm sometimes I’m 183cm, 179cm comes up to my forehead

George10 said on 22/Jan/20
Hi Rob,
if i measure 179cm right out of bed and lowest i go is 177.5cm(I used tape to measure my height) at the end of the day what height should i claim? Can i use my mornong height and say i'm 5'10.5" or just go with 5'10". At the end I'd like ask another question. How can i preserve my current height as long as possible( I'm 21) ? Thank You in adavance!

Alex Katch said on 22/Jan/20
Hi rob, i'm 184.5-184.8cm at the morning and after 6 hours i'm 182.9-183.0cm and after 18-20 hours i'm 181.8cm, and sometimes 182.2-182.3cm, how tall am i?

Rob, what height would you list me if i was a celebrity from those below?
5ft 11½in = 181.6cm
5ft 11⅝in = 181.9cm
5ft 11¾in = 182.2cm
5ft 11⅞in = 182.6cm
6ft 0in = 182.9cm

Maria Anne said on 22/Jan/20
Rob, How tall should a person who is 177 cm tall get up?
178? 178.5? 179? What do you think?

And how many hours to get up to measure height is more accurate?

Lukas said on 21/Jan/20
Hi Rob, I am 182.5 to 183 in the morning. My absolute minimum after 18 hours of being awake is 179.5-180. Can I reach 6 feet. I am 20 years old. My father is 189 and my mother is 165.

Baws said on 20/Jan/20
Hey, boss

I am 25 and managed to gain a centimeter

I was just 178 in the morning just after waking up, 177.5 an hour later, 176.5 in the afternoon, 176 in the evening and just over 175 in the night. I was also 24 then

I am now 179 when waking up, 178.5 moments after, 177.5 in the afternoon, 177 in the evening and 176.5 in the night:

Time before after difference
first thing 178 179 +1
morning 177.5 178.5 +1
afternoon 176.5 177.5 +1
evening 176 177 +1
night 175 176.5 +1.5

Thoughts on why would this happen and is there any more possibility to grow? I wanted to be at least 180 just after waking up, 1 cm can't be too much to ask? I measure a lot and with precise methods

jayp said on 19/Jan/20
Hi rob if I’m 5ft 9.25 out of bed what would you say is my height I think I might be 5ft 8.75

Yoko said on 18/Jan/20
Rob, how tall am I?

Morning height: 177.9-178.1
After 9 hours: 175.7

176? 176.5?

Shermarke-Somalian said on 15/Jan/20
Hey Big Rob.

I measured my height this morning Normally,I was 187.2 out of bed and 185.2 before bed that was 2 weeks ago,Now this morning i measured again and i couldn't believe that i was 188.2 barefoot out of bed and 186.2 now at evening and night,I am truly shocked right now and i am currently 24 maybe i measured wrong this whole time and didn't know about it.According to the height of both my parents my height was estimated between 185-189 i am now 188.2 cm do you think that i could get to 189 cm.??

Cyril said on 14/Jan/20
Hey Rob if my morning height (in 1 minute after bed) is 181,5 and evening height after hard work is 179,5 what should i say about my height for you opinion? My mom is about 168 and dad about 180. Am i tall???

Connor Gannon said on 14/Jan/20
Hey, Big Rob. Two quick questions.

1) After finding your site a few months ago, I've improved my posture. I seem to have "gained" a little. I'm 6' 3/8" right out of bed, and a whisker under 5' 11 7/10" before bed. How would you list me? Would it be reasonable to claim 6'?

2) I bought myself a paper of Adidas Ultra Boosts. They give me 1.19". How much height do sneakers typically lose from use?

Deep Purple said on 13/Jan/20
Rob, can you say me how many height someone loss after 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 hours out of bed? Please, i want compare me to the average loss height during day.

Alex Katch said on 12/Jan/20
Rob, i'm 185-185,5cm (6ft 1in) at morning barefoot, and 183cm (6ft 0in) at the night, with parents 172-173cm (5ft 8in) mother and 169-170cm (5ft 7in) father, am i tall, very tall or medium?

Melted said on 11/Jan/20
Rob, when I measured myselft first thing in the morning i get 188,2cm mark. And after 16 hours of hard work I get down to 185.5cm on dot. What height shoud I go with and in your opinion, where would you list me?

A1 said on 7/Jan/20
Hi Rob, if you were walking around a lot during the 6 hour period once you come home are you at your lowest height?

thatmanoverthere said on 6/Jan/20
Hey Rob, typically how much height do you lose after being up for 8 hours? Also, If I am 182.6 cm after this long, what height should I claim?

Tony Cao said on 2/Jan/20
Hey Rob, I’ve done a few tests with the tape measure and got 5’9.5” every time. Measurement was done barefoot in the evening with back ,heels, hips and head touching the wall. I now remember at the doctor’s office, I was measured while facing the wall but my toes weren’t close to touching the wall. Could that be the reason why I was mismeasured by one inch and a half at the doctor’s office?

Antonio_20 said on 1/Jan/20
Happy New Year, Rob!
Let me ask you this question: how can I increase my height by 1-1.5 cm in 20 years? Can the body at that age grow a little bit by itself? All the same, half an inch is not so much.
Thank you!

Tony Cao said on 31/Dec/19
Hi Rob, I’ve been measured at the doctor’s today at 5’8” but I suspected something was off. I had the nurse remeasure me and she said I’m 5’10.5”. Three years ago I was measured 5’8.75” at the same office. I’m currently 22 years old. All measurements were barefoot in the afternoon. Is it possible the nurse mismeasured me? I knew that I gained height for the last three years and I also own a tape measure at home to verify my height. Every time my friends my brother and cousin measure me at home on a flat wooden surface the measurement always comes out to a flat 5’10”. I don’t know who to trust.

Charles33 said on 30/Dec/19
I think this question might have been asked a lot of times. When I wake up I measure at 187cm and before after a long day I measure 185cm before bed. Which height should I take?

Xhavier said on 28/Dec/19
Measured myself earlier this year and recently over an 16-18 hour day. My morning height was 198cm or 197cm, midday height was 195.5cm or 194.5cm, and night height was 194.5cm or 193cm.

So I am curious, just for fun, how tall would or do you consider me, or if this was one of your celebrities, what would you list them at and would you have a peak height or not?

Alto said on 27/Dec/19
Hello Rob! I am really curious so I hope I could get an opinion from you. My lowest height I ever fall to is 181 cm and I never fall below that so I was wondering what height would you list me if I was a celebrity. Also I am 17.5 years old and my dad is like 171 cm and my mom is 167 cm so is there any chance I might become an even 6 foot

Kabir said on 27/Dec/19
Hey Rob,
I measured myself at 184.5cm after being 16hrs+ awake,I had been roaming around from afternoon to late evening,(6-7 hrs),my morning height is like 188cm.So basically I have two questions 1)Is 186cm(6'1.25") an honest claim for me if not then what should I claim? 2)Is it possible to reach 6'2"(I am already 19),but my puberty is not completed i think as my facial hairs have not completely grown like an adult.

Grenda said on 27/Dec/19
If I am 5”11 and a third and 5”10.75 in the evening. Could I claim a flat 5”11?

Pablo Pablo said on 26/Dec/19
Hi rob, About a month ago I fixed up my posture by stretching and measured at 177.5cm in the morning and 175.4cm at night. But after not stretching for a couple weeks I've started to slouch again and my night height has considerably shrunk back to 172.7-173.4cm which was my old previous night height before fixing my posture. Consistent with my ulna (forearm) length of 26cm. Did my stretching only temporarily boost to my height? Considering I'm still 177.5cm at morning why am I shrinking so much at night.

Grenda said on 26/Dec/19
I’m 181.3cm in the morning. What would I be in the night

Shermarke-Somalian said on 25/Dec/19
I measured out of bed 187.2 cm barefoot and before I used to lose about 1 cm now I seem to shrink 2 cm which gives me evening and night height of 185.2 I always seem to be 185.2 barefoot and with shoes I am back to my morning height of 187.2 cm so can I claim 1,87 cm between am I tall for my height I am Somali immigrant born in the Netherlands and I am 24 almost 25 do think I can hit 188.2 cm before my 25 birthday..??

A good day to measure said on 25/Dec/19

Sharanya said on 24/Dec/19
Hi Rob. In the morning, I measure around 167cm. By mid afternoon, 2-3pm, I measure 166cm. At night, I measure as low as 165cm, sometimes 166cm. What height should I claim? All the listed heights above are barefooted.

Merry Christmas to you.

Elman Ambri said on 24/Dec/19
Hi Rob, I really appreciate your patience and warm responses in all your forums. I love what you are doing. Keep rocking!

Merry Christmas to you and your family from Malaysia! ⛄️🔔🎄

if my wingspan is increasing in height does that mean I am going to have a growth spurt soon ?

Nickg said on 21/Dec/19
Hey Rob!I just measured a few mm's above 180cm 30mins after weaking up.Do u think its ok to claim 180?Also if i am almost 16 yrs old do u think i could reach 6'1?

James Edward Crowley said on 20/Dec/19

Cameron Wright said on 20/Dec/19
Thanks so much, Rob! I actually measured and you were spot on. I was 177.2! Could I claim 5' 9.5" - 5' 10"?

Since I'm around that range overall.

Thanks for helping me walk tall!

Cameron Wright said on 19/Dec/19
Hey Rob, I'm 174.9 at night, literally under 5' 9". How tall would I be out of bed and average?

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 17/Dec/19
@Jdubbz
What was your height loss pattern from a month ago to now? i've been lifting weights and strengthening my back muscles for years, but my height pattern hasn't really changed. (I still lose around 3/4" a day at the same rate) But I've noticed that I've gained a couple mm's from 2016 to 2017, but that could be posture or disc related.

dgm97 said on 17/Dec/19
Hello Rob.

I am 179.6cm out of bed, 178.7 after 7 hours awake and 178.1 after 14 hours awake. Is it fair for me to claim 179cm as my height?

Thanks.

Canson said on 17/Dec/19
@Jdubbz: what are you measuring these days?

Jdubbz said on 17/Dec/19
Hi Rob, is it possible for better posture and a stronger back (via heavy lifts like deadlifts and rows) to decrease shrinkage? I've noticed that I used to lose height after 8pm, but for the past month of heavy lifting at the gym, my height loss pattern has changed. I'm thinking that stronger back muscles are able to stabilize my spine better, does that sound possible to you?

Yanat said on 8/Dec/19
im 183.5 cm at night how tall would be in the morning

Police said on 5/Dec/19
Rob my brother is 185 exactly cm on good lazy days, but his morning height is 185.8... neither 186... how is possible so little gap only 8 mm beetween morning and evening? However he is very sedentary only going to school with bus just sitting hours at school and not very active physicaly, he doesn't walk neither sports... it's very passive.... but when he's active he drops to 184.4-184.5... sometimes 184,2 at very worst.... should 184 been more reasonable for him than 185 in that case?+

How's that much difference beetween active and non active days?

TomDeB said on 1/Dec/19
Hello Rob, and congratulations for your huge work. Here is Tommaso from Italy.
I'm 32 years and a half old, 180 lbs. Today I woke up at 7 AM, after a bad night (got nightmares); measured at 10 AM and was 188 cm, now at 9 PM measured at 186.5; considering that was all after a bad sleep, can I enlist as a "strong 6'2"?
Cheers from Milan!

Melo7 said on 29/Nov/19
If I’m 5’11 at night, how tall would I be in the morning??

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Nov/19
RandomPerson, honestly if you genuinely measure that height barefoot regardless of what time it’s really fair game. 99.9% of people on the street wouldn’t debate you on it. You certainly have more entitlement to it than an insecure 6ft2 range guy who claims it and believe me they are never in short supply!

RandomPerson said on 21/Nov/19
Asked this on the forum (as RandomPerson) but probably better asking here. Something that's been confusing me. As discussed below, I claim 6'4" (on the dot) but is there a certain amount of hours I have to be in that range for me to legitimately be that height? So, like, if I've been awake for 7 hours and I start to dip a smidge under that height (so like 6'3.9), am I not 6'4"? I start out being 6'4" and 3/4 when I wake up. 5 hours later and I'm still over the 6'4" mark by a touch. Or maybe I'm measuring wrong....

Joseph175 said on 17/Nov/19
Hi Rob, I wake up at 177.5 cm and goes to bed at 175.1 cm. Without injuries and surgeries will I ever drop below 170cm after aging? Or is that unlikely? Thanks

Toni said on 14/Nov/19
Hey, Rob!
Please answer a couple of questions:
1) My height out of bed 186.5 cm and before bed 184.2 cm. Am I tall?
2) In your opinion, how tall is Cristiano Ronaldo out of bed and before bad?
Thank you!

Connor Gannon said on 13/Nov/19
Hey, Rob. I'm 6' 1/8" about 20-30 minutes after waking up. By the end of the day, I'm around 5' 11 5/8". What should I claim? I find that some girls doubt my 6' claim. Why do you think that would be?

Jonah Wells said on 8/Nov/19
Seconds after waking up, I'm 5'10.75. After being awake for approximately 14 hours, I'm around 5'10 flat to 5'10.25. What height should I claim? A solid or weak 5'10?

K-rod said on 5/Nov/19
Hi Rob,

I wake up at 181cm and am 179.9- 180cm before bed. What should I claim?

Rob, after these year and half of making exercises of stretching, swimming, runnning i actually increased my height 1.2 cm (i was 173.5 at my total lowest, now 174.5). I am turning 22 in some months. Could it be that i grew this amount of height because i improved my posture? I've got scoliosis, maybe i just forced my posture abd my muscles to be stronger. I still believe that i can grow some milimetres more because my grandparentes told me they grew a little bit after 20

Dave Abrams said on 4/Nov/19
Hello, Rob, if I am 6’3” and a half (or just over) after being awake for 13/14 hours, could I claim to be 6’4” or is that a stretch?

okbymeman said on 3/Nov/19
Hey Rob, one thing I've noticed is that, as far as I can tell, you've never presented video evidence of yourself measuring as low as 173. Maybe if you did that it would put to rest all these accusations of you being taller than you claim.

Anyway, my low afternoon/evening height is anywhere in the 175.4.- 175.7 range, but never 176. Just out of bed height is normally a little over 177, like 177.2-177.5. Would you just say 175 cm as your metric height if you were me?

Ken Ogu said on 3/Nov/19
I’m 192cm barefoot in the morning but 190cm barefoot at my extreme low . What height should I claim?

mark thompson said on 1/Nov/19
hey rob,
i havent has the chance to measure my morning height but by evening (this one time recently got measured around 8 o clock) i am roughly 5’10.25-5’10.5 barefoot, how tall would u predict i could be at morning and noon? thanks

Kabir said on 27/Oct/19
Hey Rob,
My brother is 184.2cm before bed after being 15 hrs awake and around 187cms out of bed or maybe 2-3mm below that,1)so is he a solid 6'1"?,2)what height should he claim?

DeMarcus23 said on 26/Oct/19
Yo Rob, I was reading the comments below me and u sure thats not true? Doesnt extra bodyweight result in more spinal compression?

James Arthur said on 25/Oct/19
Hey Rob, so I was actually talking about the effect of weight on daily height loss. So morning-night height loss. Isn't that height loss due to the compression of the spine, so theoretically the more weight the spine has to support, the more it will shrink? For example when I wear my backpack I lose an extra quarter inch that way.

James Arthur said on 24/Oct/19
Hey Rob, what do you mean by being heavier reduces your ability to stand tall? Also, are you sure that if someone were to gain like 50 pounds, mainly muscle, and most of their weight was on their torso, wouldn't that apply more force on the spine, resulting in it compressing slightly more? Maybe a quarter inch or so?

James Arthur said on 22/Oct/19
Hey Rob, how much does weight play into daily height loss? If someone were skinny and let's say we're to gain 50 pounds, how much more height would they lose throughout the day? Maybe an extra half inch?

sherwin said on 21/Oct/19
Hey Rob, got a question
If someone is 5 8 15/16, almost 5'9 out of bed.. 5' 8.25 5 hours after wake up, and 5' 8 on the dot if not 5'7 and 7/8 what would you call their height on this site?
Also would that be a normal amount of height loss from morning to evening or a bit much?

Salvia666 said on 18/Oct/19
Hey Rob, I've got a question
If I am 174.5 just out of bed and 172.6 after 14 hours awake , what height should I claim?

Trevor said on 14/Oct/19
Hey rob my height puzzles me it seems to change allot or I guess inaccurate readings I stand with good posture most of the time I have been measured multiple times once for the army I was listed at 5’11 but i measured at 5’11.5 I’ve measured at 5’11 3/4 at the doctor with a stadiometer but when I measure myself at my house I’ve been as low as 5’10 and 1/8 I don’t understand this

Arya said on 14/Oct/19
Hi Rob,


What do you think I should claim for my height? If you could please give me your opinion, I'd appreciate it. I use morning heights because I heard athletes tend to go with their heights in the morning.

In the morning after waking up at 7 am, I'm 177.6 cm
At 11 am, 176.7 cm
At Noon, 176.4 cm
Morning average is 176.9 cm

Mag123456 said on 14/Oct/19
I measure 184cm right out of bed on normal days, and usually around 182cm at bedtime... Would you classify me as a solid 182cm? And could I go with 183 cm, but normally I am only 183 cm for about 1-2 hours a day, as I hit my low at about 181,8-182,2 7-8 hours out of bed. What would you go with?
Have a nice day, Rob.

Walad said on 10/Oct/19
Rob does lack of sleep mean you will shrink even more than you usually will because in the last 4 days ive been sleeping for like 3 hours a day and today i woke up at 7am didnt measure but usually my morning height is 174cm and night height doesnt ever get less than 172.5. However today i woke up after 2.5 hours sleep at 7 and then went gym and worked out at 3 where i measured my height on the stadiometer as 170.7cm is that because of lack of sleep or working out or i had a theory that the stadiometer is not as accurate as measuring at home and when i measure myself at home i do it properly so it is not because i dont measure correctly thats for sure

Ulf Jonas Hiller said on 5/Oct/19
Hey Rob.
I find it very strange when I people here going back and forth about what height they should claim. There should be one reference point everyone can agree on. Why? Well, how about because if for example, an insomniac has been up for 36 or 48 hours, odds are that person has shrunk at least a full inch (probably happens even sooner, maybe after just 24 hrs).
I *guuuueeess* noontime could be agreed upon, but that would require everyone to wake up at the same time so an adjustment would have to be made to be x hrs (eg 4,5 or 6) after waking up.

But my opinion is that the only objective way to measure and compare people's respective heights is as soon after waking up as possible (say measure within the hour).

Don't most people go get their passports and driver licenses early in the day?
It's just a shame there are no organizations enforcing measurement of everyone at roughly the same time (e.g. one hour dedicated to this each day...could be at noon, for instance) and that way at least everyone would be measured more or less equally.

jayp said on 4/Oct/19
Hello rob if very relaxed posture I measure 176 out of bed and 174 before what do you reckon I claim 5’8.5 I personally don’t care about height as I was always the shortest throughout school I remember being very similar height to my mother who is 5ft 1 when I was 14 so I got kind of lucky I should of been a lot shorter do you think?

Kabir said on 1/Oct/19
Hey big rob,
I am about 6'1" or maybe a fraction less that(at my low) , my morning height is varies between 187-188cm,can I grow upto
6'2", if I do some exercises? I have already turned 19,and what height should I claim now?

MoMo18something said on 27/Sep/19
Hey Big Rob,
I am 183 cm out of bed, but before bed I am only 2-3 mm’s above 181 cm and even measure 181 cm flat on the days when I workout.
So do you think claiming 182 cm is fair ? Would that make me the same height as 182 cm 50 cent or Nick Diaz for instance ? If not what would a celeb with these stats be listed as ? Thanks !

AKFIT2000 said on 25/Sep/19
Thanks for your response Rob.

Can I just ask what you think about Growth Factor Plus? I have read the description but can't see any negative reviews about it. It makes sense to me but then again I'm not a medical or height expert.


What is your opinion?

I was considering taking it to push me till 6 feet (I'm already on Glucosamine Sulphate) as I am 19 and don't have any other options. I've probably maxed out at this point.

Is there any chance that it increases my morning or evening height?

AKFIT2000 said on 24/Sep/19
Rob, could I claim 181 CM or 5'11.25"?
My morning height is 182.8 CM and my evening height is 180.3 CM.

My afternoon height is normally either 5'11.125" or 5'11.25" but sometimes when I workout, it causes me to maybe reach 180.2 CM or 180.1 CM by night time due to heavy lifting.

Overall, my both of my shoes add over an inch (I own a pair of Nike Shox too).

Let's say I was a celebrity and you knew of these stats. At what height would you list me? If it makes any difference I have corrected my posture and I have thick hair.

Bori said on 23/Sep/19
Hi Rob, I'm 19 and stand at 174 cm in the morning and shrink down to 172.5 cm at 10 pm. I'd like to claim 174 cm but I know it's not completely honest because of the spinal compression throughout the day. So what should be my claim?

Also, is it possible to prevent this compression by stretching everyday? Moreover, do you know any effective exercises that can serve the cause?

Kabir said on 12/Sep/19
Hi rob,
Can you tell me why do people shrink for sometimes after they take a bath?

netxnet said on 8/Sep/19
Hi Rob, my morning height is 183.8 cm
and lowest evening height 182.5 cm.

Do you think saying "I'm 6 foot tall" is reasonable and fair?

Also, I've just turned 18 and I'm physically active, do you think if I could ever reach 6'2"? I may be a little too optimistic LOL.

Thank you.

Hy,my dad is 6.2or6.3 but I am 6.1and half an inch at 18 can i grow taller than my dad upto 21 .my height same as morning no change

Ulf Jonas Hiller said on 6/Sep/19
I went over to the police station today and measured 185 exactly. I had woken up at 10 am sharp and had gone to the dentist in my own town, but then I had gone by train to a nearby city to go to a bank there. Finally, I got to the police station well after 1 pm to take my measurement. Except for tw0 things: 1) I didn't get much sleep the night before as I was up late in the morning. 2) I had been walking around literally for hours in that city (I know from experience walking shrinks me). So I'm just wondering what I should consider my "standard" height. I think when just out of bed after a good, long sleep I'm usually somewhere close to 6ft 1 & 1/2 in. Don't most people consider their morning height their "standard" height? Or should I maybe just think of myself as a 185cm or 6'1?

DarkPower729 said on 29/Aug/19
I used to be 184.3cm in the morning and 182.3cm before bed until I was 23 (so a solid 6ft), but then after I suffered from acute depression, stopped going to the gym and worked as a labourer (bad lifting form) and my posture started to suffer immensely- back became hunched, neck curved up and shoulders were always rolled forward. I got noticeably shorter (night height became 181.1cm +/- 2mm) and my weight ballooned from 102kg to 120kg-this lasted about 2 years. I’ve since quit that job and started corrective postural work and training in the gym but I’ve only regained a little. I’m now 183.4cm and 181.7cm at morning/night (181.3cm after heavy squats) and my spine’s pretty much constantly in low level pain once the evening comes around- mornings are usually pain free. I hear glucosamine is good for spine health and recovering height. Any thoughts?

Oded said on 29/Aug/19
Hi rob, do you know if Height averages in countries are based on the morning or on the evening height ? Or average of both ? Thanks

Aaryan Malhotra said on 29/Aug/19
Hi rob,
I measured myself 184-185cms,at the midnight(past 4:30), I was awake for almost 13 hours.I am taking rest for a very short span of time since 7 or 8 days.Generally when I am on a good routine my morning height is about 6'2.5"(189cms) {just after I wake up}.So what is my original height and what height should I claim? Is it fair to claim a weak 6'2" and will I come back to my original height if I take good amount of rest?

Logan Sunada said on 29/Aug/19
Hi Rob

Although you are really 5'8 3/8" , you clam 5ft8

In USA where people use imperial system and people just round up, what height would you claim if you were 1/2 inch inbetween 5'8 and 5'9?

Logan Sunada said on 28/Aug/19
Hi Rob!

Morning height is 177.7 and lowest i get after 16+hours awake is 175.9

Most of the day i spend on the computer so i tend to stay around 176.5cm

Is it fair to claim 5'9.5?

Arthas said on 25/Aug/19
Rob is it normal to not lose all the range you lose usually when you are working, walking or when you're active, in days which you are very sedentary I tend to drop to low height only when I'm at least active, at least when I walking a bit... even if it's not maybe the true low but on the mid/low range.

When I'm sedentary sitting the whole day on computer I tend to lose only 1 cm... when I'm sedentary but a bit active I lose 1.5 cm... when I'm very active I lose 2-2.5 cm

On a lazy day when I just sit on computer If I'm 185.4 cm out of bed, 185 cm 1 hour after bed, 184.4 cm 8 hours after bed on a lazy day and my lowest on a relax day when I just sitting at computer is 184 cm after 15 hours awake out of bed...

But when I do some walking, when I work a little bit and when I'm active I tend to shrink in 4 hours to low height of 183.9 cm, and after many hours awake being a bit active with same activities for longer time I'm 183.5-183.6 cm. Sometimes I reach the extreme low after 20 hours out of bed and after intense activities extreme low range of 183.3 cm

Should I claim 183 or 184 as actual height?

Arthas said on 24/Aug/19
Is it normal that my 14 old brother doesn't lose almost any height beetween 1 hour after bed and 12 hours after bed... but maybe because he's very sedentary and only sitting whole day at computer?

I noticed he dropped half an inch only at 9-10 pm and after.... but before didn't shrink at all almost... is that normal?

Ben said on 16/Aug/19
Only 5-6mm Rob? Back in february when I was measured for my passport at the police station I was 180cm after 2 hours out of bed but in may when I was measured by the army I was 178.7cm after 6.5 hours out of bed. To be fair I had done pretty much nothing in those 2 hours just relaxing except when I got ready and sat in a car for 45min...while in those 6.5 hours I had done a lot of activities from 5am to 11:30isch am.

MisterShort said on 14/Aug/19
I've lost half an inch the last year and I am 30 years old. Any idea why this could be? I have stopped working out at the gym (only used to lift weights) for the past year but I also have some back pain and wonder if it is disk degeneration. My posture appears to be unaffected.

AlexM said on 11/Aug/19
Rob, I get out of bed 172.6, evening minimum 170.8. Can I call myself 5ft7.5 (171.5)?

Daycringeothon said on 8/Aug/19
A guy as physically big as Arnold Schwarzenegger was in his prime body building years. Let’s say 184cm-185cm most of the day. On a good day a morning height 187cm in his late 20’s-30’s. Even prior to his surgeries
at ages 50+ he shrunk to 183cm late in the day as a low. Having good proportions for his height and as a large built man it would be expected for up to 3 cm height loss in a day. Now add an inch of loss due to age. He would look shorter from a distance yes. Taking into account his large build then seen closeup that changes the perspective to actually looking 5’11”-6’.

Emil123456 said on 3/Aug/19
Hey, I’m almost 184 cm out of bed, and about 181,7-182 cm just before bed. What should I claim? and does that make me a weak 6ft? Have a nice day

Is it okay if I claim 5ft 10.5

Adis said on 30/Jul/19
Hey Rob is it possible to grow after 18? I learned in high school that males can grow to 21. I was measured at 185cm at noon. My father is 182 right now but he is 51, probably around my height when younger. My mother is 47 and she is currently about 177cm.

Arthas said on 30/Jul/19
Hi Rob if on a lazy day (only sitting at computer, sedentary) I am 185,2 cm at morning on a lazy day 20 minutes after sleep, 184.6 cm 3 hours after bed, 184.2 cm 7-8 hours out of bed, then at the end of the day at night I'm 183.6 cm... but that's on the lazy day.

In a working day (walking, play soccer) I'm 184.4 cm 3 hours after bed, 184 cm exactly 6 hours after wake up (before lunch at 2 pm), and 183.3 cm at night at 9-10 pm... my extreme low in an active day it's 182.9 cm

So overall what height should I claim? 183 or 184, or 185?

Jetsfan35 said on 29/Jul/19
Hey Rob i've been taking glucosamine pills for 8 months now because of my joint pain. I only found out a week or so ago that glucosamine has the ability to make you 2-4mm taller and when i measured myself i've noticed that my morning height went from 174.3cm to 175.1cm and my low from 172.5cm to 173.3cm, from 8 months ago I'm 27. My question is that do you think these marginal gains are permanent? or if i stop taking glucosamine i will shrink down again?

ablue said on 27/Jul/19
Hi Rob,
I currently stand at 172.2 cm in the morning. After spending much of the day sitting, I’m about 169.8 cm (this is a little over 12 hours after waking). I know that 170.18 cm is the equivalent of 5’7, so my main question is whether I should consider myself that height of 5’7. Additionally, how would this height compare to the majority of people who claim to be 5’7?

criss83 said on 24/Jul/19

Hey Rob,
I got a question I'm 183.4 out of bed and 182 before sleeping. During 12 hours day I'm working sitting and using computer and I'm walking for like 2 hours. So my question is if we losing same amount of height while we sit straight as we walk.

Hi Rob, I’m 186cm at my tallest and usually around 184,5cm at my lowest, so I claim 6’ 3/4”. Would it be reasonable for me to claim my metric height as 185cm, as opposed to 184?

Dmeyer said on 7/Jul/19
Actualy today i was 183,2cm 20mn out of bed so probably easy 183,6cm right out , so still close to Peak morning height , facing wall IS much easyer to stand fully tall

Lildumars said on 6/Jul/19
Hey Rob at the morning I measure an exact 177 cm but today after walking home from spine loading exercises such as deadlift and squats for 2+ hours at the gym I measured at 174.5. Is such drastic height loss possible...is this okay? I’m a little concerned because it seems like a lot of height lost.

criss said on 5/Jul/19
Rob, I'm 183 in the morning and 181 at my lowest. Sometimes I'm 181.5 at lowest or even 182 if I'm rested.
Claiming 182 it's not bad, isn't it?

Dmeyer said on 5/Jul/19
Rob my max morning height is 181.3 and my lowest is 177.8 is that a lot of height to lose..also two years ago my max was 181 and low 177.5 do you think I grew in that period
Editor Rob
It is a lot, but sometimes when we are younger our discs are at their best health and can absorb more water. Wow that IS huge 3,3cm loss at under 6'0

Dmeyer said on 5/Jul/19
Hi rob , its likely to loose 2mm of morning height by late 30s early 40s for example back to wall After a good sleep i use to be back to wall 183.6 ish lately i think i am nearer 183,4-183,5cm , yet at night i am still similar range 181,2-181,5cm depennding , facing wall i am 1-2mm taller as i alter my spine less , today i was 182,8-182,9cm 30 min Out of bed of course i could have droped 6-7cm within 30mn i will check next Time a mn out of bed ,many people will measure 10mn out of bed so they droped alreasy 2-3mm and then measure 3pm on a normal day then the différence will be just 1,5cm but if they measure out of bed and then 7pm on theyr feet all day the différence will be nearer 2,2cm and near 3cm if they are 6'2 or more

Kiers1996 said on 2/Jul/19
Hey Rob first thing out of bed I'm exactly half a mm under 175cm. I think you and me could be height twins because right before bed I got a low of 172.9cm. I never feel tall but then I dont feel short unless theres a 6ft7 guy in the room then I feel towered lol.

Hi @Rob, I wake up at 187cm first thing in the morning, 185.5 by the afternoon and 184 (sometimes 184.5) by the evening.
Would it be fair to just tell people I’m 6’1”? (185.5cm)
Also, i’m 22 now, when would I begin to see a decrease in my height?

Rob is it normal to measure 181.5 at my highest and 177.8 at my absolute lowest..I thought It was impossible to lose close to 4cm for someone my height..my highest was 179.8 two years ago so do you think I might still be growing

Daniel McAdams said on 14/Jun/19
Hello, Rob, thought I sent this before but probably didn't go through. I believe I'm 6'4" on the dot, but a week or so back, I measured myself after 10.5 hours of being awake (and after doing some basic weight training) and my height was clocked at 6'3.8/6'3.75 (can't remember which exactly). I always thought you'd be losing height across the day after 12/13 hours or so, so now I'm not sure if I really am 6'4" or not (I don't measure myself often as I don't have the equipment to properly do so at home).

Niloya said on 13/Jun/19

Hi bob. I really love your videos. I am a 16yrs old male. I woke up one morning and my height was 187cm after bed. I decided to check it again and it was 185cm after bed for about an hour. What really shocked was that I shrunk to 183.6 both afternoon and evening. What height do you think I should claim? . And is it possible for me to grow taller?

Poop Shoe said on 7/Jun/19
Rob, I have short legs for my height (inseam around 31in) and a long torso. I measure 6’0.4” first thing in the morning but after my standing job and bad posture I can sometimes struggle to hit 5’11.25( not my much but by 1/8th of an inch). Is this odd or not. I’ve measured myself multiple times and it’s roughly the same. On days where I don’t stand/ lift as much I usually end the day around 5’11.5”. What’s the deal?

shantanu lal said on 6/Jun/19
Hey rob i just wanted to tal to you about my height:
Its goes maximum to 185.6 in the morning to low as 183.3-183.6 in night. How much do you think i might be exactly because i cant figure it out !

Piers said on 2/Jun/19
Rob, I'm 21 years old and am currently scared that I lost some height.

At the end of April my back started to get more regularly sore during my weightlifting sessions at home (not even serious either, just a pair of dumbbells). There was one session where my lower back just completely gave in and I couldn't keep going anymore. After that day, my back stayed sore all month so I stopped lifting. The soreness disappeared over a few weeks, but then it came back yesterday out of the blue.

During this month, I've been measuring my height. I've always been 186.4 straight out of bed, 185.4 on a lazy day, 183.8 my normal low-- sometimes 183.6. I've been too scared to measure when I come home after I go out, so I only measure on my lazy days... but even then I'm not measuring the same anymore. I drop VERY quickly to 185.4, and struggle to stand straight while measuring so usually get a few mm below that. I only left the house to drive for an hour today, and I've been home for 4 hours. I usually would have regained height all the way back up to 185.4, but I'm barely measuring 184.5 right now.

... Could I have lost some height? I'm trying to be optimistic that its just the soreness holding me back (because again, I can't really stand straights/start trembling while measuring), but I don't know.

Being 170.5cm in morning and 169.2 at night, would it be a weak 5' 7' be an overstatement? Also how do you define the difference between weak and solid? Cheers Rob

rando182 said on 27/May/19
Rob, when you say that lifting heavy weights/putting stress on the joints could accelerate height loss, are you saying this purely due to the increased risks of injury? For example, say that someone has been lifting heavy for 10+ years but manages to not get himself injured at all. Would you say that person still has an increased likelihood of accelerated height loss over someone who hasn't lifted weights at all?

I am 19 years old and my low is 1.69.1 m.I was measured in the townhall as 1.69 m after 2 hours out of bed.I reach my low after just 2-3 hours and dont even shrink a milimeter after that even if i put my body under stress and play football for example.Out of bed im exactly 1.71 cm and my low is 1.69.1 so I shrink 1.9cm.Rob I think you should note that short people like me reach their low pretty quick and dont shrink after that anymore.

slothee said on 23/May/19
Rob, do you think when people age they have height loss spurts, or is it just very gradual over time? I’ve seen a few people over 50 who for several years seem one height, then the next year they seem to have lost a fraction.

Pat Mongan said on 21/May/19
If I measure 5ft11.6 around 5/6 hours after I wake up what height would I safely be able to call myself? 5ft11 or would I measure 6ft out of bed?

Hiram said on 16/May/19
I’m not sure how tall I am out of bed, but a nurse recently measured me at 2 pm with a wall stadiometer. Height was 183.5 cm. It’s possible I’d fall below 6 ft. from time to time after heavy activity or a late night. Therefore, I guess it would be safe for me to claim 6 ft.

so said on 9/May/19
if i'm bang on 5'11 after being awake 17 hours and 5'11 7/8ths in the morning on 6 hours sleep and 6ft on 8+ hours, what height should i claim?

Michael2002 said on 9/May/19
Hey, Rob.

I'm around 186.5-187cm out of bed and 184.5-185cm at night, but not really sure if I should say 6ft or 6ft 1 when people ask my height. If I go rucking (walking with a heavy rucksack), I usually wake up shorter the day after. Is this normal?

H18 said on 3/May/19
Rarely i shrink 2.5 cm like today I worked out 3 different muscles in the gym and it’s hot today , usually i shrink just 1.8 cm is these enough reasons to shrink like that ?

Durr Durr said on 29/Apr/19
Hi, Rob.

What was your lowest registered evening height?

Giancarlos said on 27/Apr/19
!Hello Rob!
How much will be a 1.88 in the morning, afternoon and evening? I usually measure 189.2 in the morning and 187 in the evening ... Do I have 188?

Yoshi said on 27/Apr/19
Hi Rob, is it possible that someone in the same heightrange as you could shrink more or less than you? As an example,I read a Comment under the page of Mbappe where you responded that he could pull of 181 cm out of bed. But somehow he is only listed as 178,4 cm. I'm usually 5'10 1/2 out of bed and 5'9 7/8 after 12 hours of beeing Awake. Am I just lucky or is that normal? And by the way, what would you list me as, if I would be a Celebrity? Love your Website!😊

Frederik Hoff said on 24/Apr/19
Hi Rob,out of bed i'm 178,9 cm. My lowest height of the day is 177,3. Would that make me a Solid 5'10?

Durr Durr said on 23/Apr/19
Hi, Rob.

My measurements when I wake up and before bed are usually 1,71.5 and 1,70. However, on some days of hard work already recorded 1,69.5 and on one occasion 1,69.2. How high would you give me on the site if I was a celebrity?

Hw18 said on 20/Apr/19
I had a mistake measuring my height with a can, but now I am 168.1 after 15 hours awake and my max is 169.9, what would be my height.
And which tool is the best to give an accurate height ?

Anton_20 said on 13/Apr/19
Hi, Rob!
Please, help: What height can I take for the most accurate? And what say, if asked about my height?
Out of bed: 186,2 cm (maximal)
6 PM: 184,0 cm
After training in gym, 10 PM: 183,6-183,7 cm (minimal)
Thank you!

Gyan said on 11/Apr/19
I wake up at 166cm and by evening I am only 163cm which is my lowest. My height is already atrocious and this massive height loss really worsens the already serious depression that I am having.

WalkingTall6'3.35 said on 9/Apr/19
Hi Rob,i measured myself 2 days after an hour of walking with some jogging mixed in(15-20min) and i came home half a centimeter shorter.Does running compress your back considerably or what,or do we all measure shorter right after exercise and regain a bit afterwards?

And another question so i don't post twice,which height should i claim? I wake up at 192.9cm,5 hours after mostly sitting at the computer and some walking i'm 191.5cm and in the evening after less sitting and walking considerably i drop to about 191.1cm with lowest ever after all day of physical labour being 190.7cm.I feel like i'm so close to 6'3.5 at noon that i might as well claim that,or is 6'3.25 more fair?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Apr/19
Assuming he was measured in the afternoon/evening peak I’m gonna estimate he’s lost about 2cm

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Apr/19
Rob, what I mean is did I lie to him because I didn’t measure him at later point in the day I.e. after 1 when a bit more shrinkage occurs?

He’s probably closer 186cm by the evening.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Apr/19
Rob, my uncle just turned 73 and claimed that he used to br 6ft2 and reckoned he’d dropped 1in or so. I measured him the other day at about 11:00a.m. and he got 187.8cm. I didn’t get into technicalities about morning to evening shrinkage nor this site but I told him that he’s still about 6ft2. He was barefoot of course and I did use a stadiometer.

The question I have is did I lie and if he were hypothetically a famous person what would you list him at?

Hans23 said on 3/Apr/19
Hey Rob. How tall do you predict a 5'9.25" guy would be first thing in the morning?

Hi Rob , I wake up 169.5, at 4 pm 168.4, my low is 167.8.
But I reach my low whenever I go to the gym. What’s my height then?

6ft guy said on 23/Mar/19
Hey Rob throughout my childhood I was 99th percentile in height up until age 13 where I was 5'10 and my growth dramatically slowed down. I am now 184cm at 20 years old. Do you think my growth was stunted in some way? I didn't have the healthiest diet growing up. For the record my mom is 5'8.5 and my dad is 5'10.

Mark T said on 20/Mar/19
Hi rob, in the morning im just under 179cm but by evening i can drop somewhere between 172-174. is this normal?

freddy994 said on 17/Mar/19
hi there Rob. i m 25 years old and my height is 179 cm..i read on google that heigh loss can start at about 30. Do you think that if i keep a good diet, stretching every day and exercising, i' d be able to keep 179 cm until 50 years old( if i ll keep living till this age :) ) or even later??

Phrygian said on 14/Mar/19
If you are 181 cm out of bed and sink down to 179 cm or so in the evening, would it be normal to claim 180 cm as your standard height?

JG99 said on 12/Mar/19
Hi Rob, if I measured at 5'8'75 at 10pm, would claiming 175cm be reasonable?

Mickey N said on 12/Mar/19
Hi Rob,
I’m 52 and over the years have been measured at gyms/docs at 186 on at least 5 occasions. However, on a new patient medical once around 5pm they measured me at 184.5. Since then had another 186 measure. Seeing your video I’ve tried the aerosol can method as it touches my head and whilst 186.5 out of bed have found myself 185 around mid afternoon. At shortest 184.3. Considering my history is 6 1 fair enough to claim. Think rounding to quarter inches sounds a bit anal to many. Also how accurate is self measurement and knowing exactly when it touches your head/ right angle etc?

confusedheight said on 4/Mar/19
Hi Rob, I had a physical in late January at 8 am. I got only 3 hours of sleep, and was fairly dehydrated as I was required to fast, and was feeling pretty compressed. I was measured and was listed at 5'8 exactly (172.72 cm down to the hundredth). Would they round heights? I don't know that I was standing fully tall, especially since my self recorded low height has continually been 5'8.25 (173 cm) over a few weeks that I checked. If I'm 5'9 exact out of bed, 5'8.5 for most of the day, and 5'8.25 at night, and supposedly 5'8 at my physical, what would you say my height is? Is claiming 174 cm wrong?

Liam1 said on 28/Feb/19

Hi Rob,i am almost 192cm now at the age of 26 with a big frame and i'm wondering how much height will i lose later in life.How long will i be able to ''maintain'' at least 190cm?

Martin 6'2 said on 22/Feb/19
Hey Rob, I was just wondering, I'm 6'2" barefoot morning height, and I've just turned 33, I actually do a lot of stretching exercises, do you think these could go in my favour to help maintain my height?

Fouat said on 21/Feb/19
Hi rob, i wake up at 172.3-5 and my low is 170.7-9, so i was wondering if claiming that im in the 171-172 range is ok?
Thank you

Harry said on 20/Feb/19
Hi Rob. Do you think that being very physically active in your youth, like doing lots of long distance running will accelerate height loss quicker than the rest of the population (due to strain on joints etc.) or do you think it could actually help to maintain height as you get older by keeping you in good shape and strengthening back/leg muscles?

yekat said on 14/Feb/19
Hi rob, I’m a just turned 16 year old girl. I wake up at 174 and my low is 172, so I claim 5’8. My mum and dad both grew until 19-20 (they are 5’6 and 5’11, and my mum went from 5’2 to 5’6 at 18), and I’m predicted to reach 5’10. Do you think it’s possible? I model and I just love being tall :/

Clarky said on 11/Feb/19
Hi Rob I recently ran across your site and find it very fascinating. I have some questions if you could kindly answer them. You slightly addressed this elsewhere in your website but I just wanted to clarify, when it comes to the listed heights are they peak, lowest, or somewhere in between height? Also, related to this, when it comes to national studies that study average height like the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), would you happen to know what time of day these heights are recorded for official studies? Do they take it into account at all? Lastly, when it comes to claiming heights, I noticed you claim your lowest height. Why is that and do most people claim their lowest height or do they claim a height earlier in the day. Thank you very much Rob.

179cm guy said on 7/Feb/19
Hey Rob, in your opinion do you think that anyone who measures between 176.5-178.4cm (5'9.5-5'10.25) barefoot after eight o'clock in the evening can reasonably claim 5'10 without any other disclaimers such as "about", "almost", "on the dot", "a smidge under/over", etc. for those who don't want to come off as being insecure or pedantic to others? What about anyone who measures between 179-181cm claiming 5'11?

Folly said on 7/Feb/19
Rob Paul, I wake up at 175.5 cm. What height would you give me on your PageRank if I were a famous celebrity. And am I considered short with that height?

Hi Rob, is it possible to lose a bit of height at age 20?

Grimesy said on 3/Feb/19
G’Day Rob,

First of all, kudos on such an awesome site !

I have always claimed myself as 5’7 (170cm). The other day I got my height measured while getting a body scan. This was at 4:30pm in the afternoon. I work an office job so had been sitting down all day, although went for a 30 minute walk around lunch time. I measured 169.4cm. Is it still acceptable to claim 170cm (5’7) as my height in your view ? I would assume I would definitely be above 170cm first thing in the morning ?

179cm guy said on 1/Feb/19
Rob I just made a shocking new discovery pertaining to my families' height-related genetics and growth pattern. I just recently measured my mother who just turned forty-eight this month and she clocked in at a flat 5'6.5 at 8:30 in the evening. That was to be expected since she's always claimed to be 5'6 or 5'7. But the interesting thing is that I found myself looking at her driver's license on which she was only listed at 160cm (5'3). When I made her aware of this she was just as surprised as I was and the only conclusion that she could come to was that she had grown 3.5 inches after she turned sixteen. She asserted that she had been measured at the Service Ontario centre where she got her driver's license when she turned sixteen and that that's the height that she had been going by ever since on all of driver's licenses. My uncle (my mother's brother), also grew to be 6'4-6'5 Rob do you think that given this newfound information that I might be able to grow a little more even though I'm already eighteen years old?

Son of Thompson said on 17/Jan/19
Hey Big Roberto,

I am 176.5 at night standing up as straight as I can. My doctor measured me at 177cm at around 1230 in the day, should I say I'm 177cm?

khaled taban said on 8/Jan/19
Rob, I have been measuring my height for a long as 174.5 cm, then all the sudden I measured it as 173.7cm till today. I am wondering what causes that. Do you think I can get that 1cm again? I am only 19 years old.

Ninio said on 3/Jan/19
Rob thanks for answering
I measured myself about 6 hours after being away and dehydrated at 168.4-5 and after after many hours after being dehydrated I ve realised I've gained 2-3mm do you think it's reasonable to hit your lowest range early and what do you think a perfect listing for me. Thanks!

Ninio said on 3/Jan/19
Rob getting badly dehydrated can affect height by about how much?

Mosa said on 3/Jan/19
Rob, I personally think that I haven't achieved my full genetic height (probably because I didn't sleep a lot during my growing years). I think I am something like 2 cm below my real genetic height. Do you think that this is a common think that people do not reach their full potential height?

Thank you for anwsering the question.

Ninio said on 30/Dec/18
Rob is it reasonable to add 7 mm to your "before bed height" to know your actual height?

Hayley Harrison said on 29/Dec/18
Rob, Is there any chance of stopping my spine shrinking an inch during the day, It makes me very frustrated because then I feel I’m shorter than I should be? I have a lot of back pain too, could there be something wrong with my spine?

sa123489 said on 29/Dec/18
Rob, I’ve been 173-174 cm since the age of 13-15. This is a relatively young age to finalise growth so does that mean I could experience height loss earlier?

Emil J said on 28/Dec/18
Hello Rob
I at my tallest at 183 cm in the morning and at night i am 181 at my lowest
What do i claim? I mostly just claim to be 183
Another thing... I have had a lot of back pain for the last year, and i wonder if that could´ve caused a slight loss of height?

Zaveid said on 27/Dec/18
Hi Rob, I measure 183.2 out of bed, 181.6 - 7 hours out of bed, 181.3 - just before bed, 180.9 - as my ultimate low (after a long day of walking, lifting weights, staying up for 24 hours +) What height should I claim? Is claiming my ultimate low downgrading myself? What height do you use to list celebrities (do you use their evening height or their ultimate low?). Thanks a lot!

Rem said on 27/Dec/18
Hi rob. Thanks for all your stuff!!! I have just turned 20 and gained 3mm in a month. It is not noticeable but it is something for me. From my 19's i have growned 1.5 cm until now, in more a less one year and some months. I was 173.8 and now i am 175.3-4 at my lowest. What is more i was called short in school but now even my taller friends tell me im not short, and some even say im tall. Do you think that working on my posture gave this 1.5 cm increase and illusionnof being tall? (I have goy scollisis)

Alkin said on 25/Dec/18
Rob, is 1,5 cm height difference noticeable?

Rob, do you think those socks lifts really add 2 cm of height like it is said in the ad or less than that ? Click Here

179cm guy said on 23/Dec/18
Hey Rob!
I have a question for you.
I just turned eighteen and I'm a solid 179 cm guy on an average day and 178.5cm at my absolute low.
I've always been a late bloomer (at fourteen entering high school I was almost 5'6" and now I've finished high school at almost 5'11").
I have extremely long legs for a guy my height (34" inseam) and I still retain a somewhat boyish looking face.
My mom is a 5'6"-5'7" range lady and she has a brother who is 6'4"-6'5".
My dad is a 5'9"-5'10" range guy and he has a brother who is 5'5"-5'6".
My younger brother (sixteen) who hit puberty earlier than me is the same height as me now.
My dad stopped growing at around the age of sixteen although he had a problem with his thyroid which might have cheated him out of a quarter to a half an inch of height.
What do you think my final height will be within the next few years keeping my late-blooming tendencies, long legs, and boyish features in mind?
What do you think Rob? Please answer, you're the best!

lastman said on 23/Dec/18
Rob, I have a question : I'm 5ft 6 and a strong 5ft 6.5 out of bed, which means that I only gain about half of an inch during a full night of sleep. Is it normal to get so little or should it be more ? Also do you think I may recover my "out of bed" height of 169 cm by lying in an Inversion table and use it to hang upside down for several minutes so that my spine can decompress completely ?
I've read an article here about that : Click Here
Thank you for your answer and merry christmas !

anton1999 said on 21/Dec/18
Hey, Rob!
I need your advice:
I am 186,0 out of bed and 183,8-184,3 in the evening.
What do i claim to be?
Can I still grow up 1,5-2 cm? I am 19 y.o.

Ethan, 190cm said on 17/Dec/18
Heyo Rob, don't know if you remember me I was the guy who was curious about my height just before my GCSEs and I was stressing. But good news! I passed with flying colours!
I am now turning 17 in the latter part of April and I am a weak 190cm and my question is... Will i reach 6,4?

Charles Giege said on 16/Dec/18
Wassup Rob, do you think weight gain leads to height loss? Because I am pretty sure I've shrunk ~3-4mm after gaining 10-15 kg

akee said on 1/Aug/18
Rob if im 175.26 with an inseam of 30.5 inches is this still within average? noticeably quite short?

cmillzz said on 29/Jul/18
Another question for you Rob: why are disc injuries so common? I just think it’s weird that our bodies were designed that way. It shouldn’t be so easy to have disc injuries, yet it happens all the time with many people. Do you have an explanation as to why it’s so easy to injure our discs? I just don’t get why our discs have to be so fragile.

cmillzz said on 27/Jul/18
Rob, I lose a huge chunk of my morning height in the first couple hours, is that normal? I’m closer to my evening height after just two hours out of bed, whether I’ve been standing or sitting the entire time.

Rob, is 2 cm a typical shrinkage for someone who wakes up at 192 cm? Or perhaps a full inch?

cmillzz said on 19/Jul/18
Rob, do you think a disc herniation in the lumbar section of the spine would be more likely to cause height loss than a herniation in the cervical section?

juus said on 17/Jul/18
rob would taking an average of my morning height and night height be correct? I want to claim a height that i average over the day and measure at even several hours after being up sometimes, around 5 to even 7 hours. Also why do you claim you're absolute low of 5'8 and 1/8 rob? you clear this height a majority of the day?

Canson said on 16/Jul/18
@Rob: in regards to Jason Wick, what do you consider inflating or deflating your claim? And where do you fit the “out of bed” height and “extreme low” (height that you only hit once in a while) into the equation as far as a claim?

hmmm said on 14/Jul/18
Hello Rob,
very strange situation. I can walk, play football whole day (13 hours) and shrink only 1,5cm. But in other day i can do completly nothing and shrink 2 cm. Common is 1,5cm range but something is like i told. Its because bad hydration or what?
And one more think, if i have curvy spine can i get from him 1-2cm more after fix posture?

Sitan said on 13/Jul/18
Rob, I am in a military and we wake up at 6 AM every day. Today I measured myself 15 hours after waking up and I was 189,2 cm. Was this my lowest measurement?

Westworlder said on 13/Jul/18
Rob, does tight/restricting footwear make you lose more height during the day? I have some tight shoes that squeeze up my feet sometimes and I feel like I lose more mm wearing them than when I wear more free/fitting footwear.

I don't think it affects my spine in any way, so I guess I'm wondering is it possible to lose more height from your feet tensing up?

Bobby said on 9/Jul/18
So, this is saying that you'll begin losing height by age 30? I find that extraordinarily doubtful. I see no reason to believe that I won't measure 179cm in the morning at age 30 as I do at age 23.

David Sullivan said on 8/Jul/18
Hey Rob, what would you give your height as if you were me?

73" seconds out of bed
