How many spotlight directories do you estimate there are? I think the British Library will definitely have some but I guess you aren't going there any time soon. Yh they do have some archived Click Here

[Editor Rob: well they published them from the 1930's up till now, although they are stopping them.
So they were every year, but it won't change much from year to year. Getting a set for every decade would be useful, although expensive to buy them all.
One thing I noticed is some actors don't have any height listed ever, some have a height at one point, but in future editions it's removed! Maybe they realised they didn't need to give a height, they were 'big enough' to not need one, or something like that.
Some actors keep the same height through their career, others change, sometimes they go up, other times down maybe after realising it's better being honest.]

Hi Rob,
Just curious as to which height would you claim if you were in my shoes. I wake up 193.3cm and go to bed 191.5cm after a 12+ hour day. I usually tell people I'm 192-193cm or 6'3-6'4 whenever I'm asked of my height. Would this be fair or would you stick with 6'3?
Cheers!

[Editor Rob: 192cm is fine, 'just over 6ft 3']

It changes from day to day when running a large site.
Ongoing technical maintenance - the code, the server. There have been days I have spent 8 hours and days I've done nothing with code/html/css etc. It probably averages out at 2-3 hours a day.
Comments - reading, replying. I try to read everything, but can't reply to everything. There are comments that are off-topic which people don't see - those don't add anything but I have to read them. Dealing with comments might be roughly 3 hours total through the day.
Updates, edits to improve pages and researching heights might take 3-5 hours a day.]

[Editor Rob: 16-17 and about 18-19 is common 'final additions' in height, but generally I think the 16 and 18 marks cover the majority of teenagers final growth. The minority may well grow beyond that by 1-5 years.]

Hey rob, I did stretches and measured 6'1 1/2" at the drs with my back up against the wall and I tend to measure shorter facing away from the wall. On my own stadiometer which is like the one you have I measure an eighth of an inch more or less than 1 1/2" facing the thing. I measure the 1/4 range facing away from it. My out of bed height is 6'2 1/2". Does this make me an honest weak 6'2". What would you say if you measured this area 186 being a low. 186.5-187

[Editor Rob: if the person installing it, also checks it with a tape measure, it could be within 1mm accuracy, but sometimes they might think 'oh 3mm off, it'll do' so no guarantee it is accurate...you are assuming the person installing it is doing their job though and prides themselves on accuracy :)]

Hey rob, what is the most extreme case of someone shrinking you know of. I know of someone losing 3" or so going from 6'0" to 5'9" in his 80's.

Hey rob, do you think height correlates with what kind of car someone drives. I notice 6 footers commonly drive trucks in my town. I drive a truck too and I'm 6'1". I know a guy who is 6'5" and drives an SUV.

Hi Rob! I've been a fan of you and your website for the last few years. I am pretty obsessed with height and feel that gaining height will give me a sense of confidence and security. I'm turning 19 in a month and I'm pretty worried about my height, I'm 5'9" so I'm not short but gaining a few inches would be great. Do I still have hope? I haven't grown much since I was 14, does this mean my body is saving up for one last growth spurt? I would definitely appreciate a reply from you the same way I've appreciated what you have been doing. Thanks! :)

Rob is true that astronauts can gain almost 2 inches while in space?
Rob is true that astronauts can gain almost 2 inches while in space?
[Editor Rob: with no gravity, the discs are able to expand in thickness, so some can end up between 1 and 2 inches taller.
It will go down once back on earth, although at least one astronaut claimed she retained over an inch of the height she gained in space! Seems hard to believe, but why on earth would she lie? I mentioned this case in a Video I did.
There is a same smaller principle people try to gain height, by spending 2 hours a day on inversion tables, decompressing spines. Some people might improve their morning measurements that way...]

Hey rob what do you see for an average height when my generation gets older I am 17. The average male height at 17 is 5'9" and at 6'1" I am at the 90 percentile for adult males and 17. Would 5'11" today be equivalent to being 5'9" 30 years ago or so. How about 6'1" would that be the equivalent to being around 5'11 1/2" 30 years ago. Being 6' in the 60's meant you were a giant my grandfather was that tall back then. Now 6'0" isn't as tall but is definitely the start of someone being classified as tall.

Hey rob, is it possible to stretch your spine out? I have been doing stretches by reaching as high as possible in the air and it got to the point when I could feel my spinal discs pull apart or something. No bull, I used to measure 6'1" 185.5 cm exactly at home but now 6'1 1/2" and I don't understand. Is this too good to be true? I am excited about this I thought I was done growing.

[Editor Rob: you might have improved disc health so that they retain more fluids during the day and don't compress.
Or, your spine wasn't in an optimal curve, so the exercises have improved them.
The guy on youtube called 'Skintight Flash' spent about 5 years doing 1 hour a day trying to grow, he gained about half inch in total for all that effort and it was simply improving his posture.]

Hey rob I would like to understand your listings better. What constitutes someone to be a said height exactly like just 6'0". What constitutes the 1/4" 1/2" and 3/4" increments. I don't understand how you can differentiate between someone who is 5'11 1/2" and 11 3/4". Most of the people on the 1/2" increment listing seem to be the lower height like a 5'11 1/2" listed person looks 5'11". Some people on the 3/4" increment look the previous height too.

Hey Rob, I'm 19 years old and 5'11.25 and my father's 6'6.
The fact is that I've a 35+ inches inseam who's more likely an inseam for people 5 inches taller or so...
It seems also that my arms are long maybe close to 6'2 (my wingspan) although I don't really know since it could be difficult to measure it alone.
My question is could I attempt a late surge like a guy such as Dennis Rodman did ?
It's been several years already that i cannot think about anything else, I feel like if it never happens I'll never get over it.
My lack of height has already developed some serious trouble on me so I see it as the only issue for me to repair.

Rob, I looked at the London film con website and there was one guest called Phil LaMarr I would like to get the auto or photo with but i'm slightly worried that these are unreliable and complicated if you haven't been before like actors cancelling etc navigating where to go.

Hey rob, what is the height of this guy. I know this guy who is very tall. I am 6'1" and he says he can see the top of my head. He has said 6'5" before but now he isn't sure. What range would you put him at. I don't think he is 6'4" because a 3" eye line is not in proportion and he looks like his eyes are at least 4" from the top of his head (Probably 5).

[Editor Rob: some guys at 6ft 5 will raise eyes a little and feel they can see over your head...so it could be the truth. If you typically are looking below his mouth, then I'd say near 6ft 5...if at his chin, he may well be over 6ft 5.]

Rob, is it possible for me to grow anymore? Turning 20 soon. am 176 cm, mother is 173 and my father is 175. I haven't grown at all since 15, but I fear I might have suffered from an infection which upset my absorption of nutrients.. (high level of candida overgrowth) I'm 148lbs. I don't think I'm at my potential given my parents heights.
Thanks

[Editor Rob: after 18, the chances decrease each few months till age 21...when the odds of any noticeable growth are even lower. A proportion still gain 1-2 inches from 18-21, but the vast majority don't. Take any growth as a wee bonus.]

@Mo
Yes, I think you'll be reaching the 185, a cm more or below wouldn't suprise me.
But it depends if your parents or brother were late and how tall they are now.

Hey Rob!
I just noticed something while looking at the average height for males in different countries, the average is getting shorter every year since 1986...
In the 70's the average was up at 177.5 for males and now it is down at 177.2 for people born 1996.

[Editor Rob: yes, some average height will plateau and even go down a little, while others will have a steady climb and maybe hold closer to the peak average.
There's a myth that every country seems to be growing, but the data says otherwise. ]

Hey Robe, it's me the 18 year old again. Just wanted to say that for the past few days out of bed I've consistently been measuring myself at 183cm (have grown about +0.4mm). I've felt this small change as soon as I get up.
My question is where would the top of my head reach up to standing next to someone like Karlie Kloss who is 189cm out of bed (I think)?. Assuming we just woke up.

Hey rob how much growth do you see for me. I am a 6'0 3/4-6'1" and 17. My mom peaked at 5'6" and reached adult height at 12. Dad went from being 5'10"-5'11 1/2" after high school. I have been the same height for a good year absolutely no growth. Doctors have said that I would be around 6'1-6'2" and before 6'3". I hit puberty at 12 and my growth spurt 1 year later went from being 5'9" to 5'11" in less than a year then reached 6'0" at 14 1/2. Thanks in advance.

[Editor Rob: if anybody gains height at 18-21 they have done better than most, because the majority still don't gain anything noticeable (by that I mean 1/2 inch or more).

It's not 100% accurate of course since not everyone is proportionate, but gets a rough idea and estimation for something that is proportionate for any height maybe.

When I went to take this test at the age of 16 years and 3 months i was 1.67 (5'6) and the doctor sid to me that i would be maximum 1.70 (5'7).

If you are 17, then on average you aren't going to grow 2 inches, maybe closer to 1 from 17-21 would be more average.]

Hey rob, what height would you list me at. I measure 6'0 3/4"-6'1" exactly by doctors after a long day. To give an idea of what range I look I can see the top of my 5'8" friend's head. My out of bed height is 6'2" exactly. I have stood back to back to a 6'3" guy and was told he looked 2" taller. I appeared to edge out another guy who claims 6'1" by half an inch. Often get told I can easily be 6'2". I think from looking at pictures of myself I look 6'0" but I have a larger frame and a heavy set guy. Someone who is 5'10" is a little above my eye brows. Shoulder level is 5'2" chin level is around 5'4". 5'7" people are around my upper lip.

[Editor Rob: the seca stadiometer has a 1/8th inch error...so it gives every measurement an extra 1/8th inch.
Typically I get roughly around 5ft 8.75 using the normal tape measure, then at night about 1/8th inch over at my low mark.]

I would be surprised to grow 2-3 inches in fact! Does that mean there is a decent chance of 2-3 inches? Also is it normal that my armspan grew near 2 inches since last year, the same amount as my height increased? Its always grown in correlation to my height!

Hey Rob,
I was wondering if you could tell me how much height people typically drop throughout the day? It seems a lot of people on the site say it's a full 2 cm but that seems like a lot to me. I've read other sources on the internet saying we only lose 1 cm or maybe half an inch. I myself, only drop about half an inch at night. Also, I was wondering if being flat-footed affects a person's height? As I read that part of the reason people tend to get a little shorter as they age is that weight gain affects the arches of the foot and causes you to stand shorter than you normally would. I was born completely flat-footed and never developed arches in my feet, would I stand a bit taller if I did?

[Editor Rob: from the information I've read by researchers, it seems that close to 2cm might be the average.
But you will find some losing half inch, others losing a full inch. The more extremes would be 1/4 inch or 1.25-1.5 inch losses...most probably fall within half to 1 inch range.]

Rob, would you agree if I say that human´s height is 95% determined by his genetics, because I´ve seen a guy same old as me (17) and he smokes, drinks alcohol, parties on weekends. I haven´t seen his parents, but as he is about 190 cm tall, I expect they are over average too. Also I know other guy who is 17 as well, his parents are little under average and he is noticeably shorter than other boys in his class. But he is living very healthy, living in countryside, eating healthy, dealing with sports and no smoking, drinking alcohol. What do you think about that?

[Editor Rob: yes, any type of activity that involves running, twisting for prolonged time will effect the discs and get you to your low quicker...or as mentioned elsewhere on the site, possibly knock you down to an absolute low height, in some cases being 1/4 or 1/3rd less than your average low.

I think if I REALLY straighten out, I can measure somewhere in the 166-167 range, but the thing is I have such poor posture, that it's hard for me to stand at my full height if I'm completely still. It's as if I have to "propel" myself into my full height as I'm walking down that street. Does that make sense? Is that a common problem for people who have posture issues? The 1m55 and a bit eye level is what I get when I don't have space to "propel" myself.

My eye level at night time can sometimes be right at 1m56, and other times it struggles with that mark being more reliably at around 1m55.8 or something of that nature, so is it unlikely that I'd stand anything under 5'5, given that my facial structure doesn't seem particularly odd?

Only God knows why, this site is quite averse about listing the heights of historical people. Nevertheless, here goes the height of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), from article Click Here Mrs. Charles W. Heaton (1874), "Leonardo da Vinci and his works", Kessinger Publishing, Whitefish, MT, 2004, p. 204: «The skeleton, which measured five feet eight inches, accords with the height of Leonardo da Vinci. The skull might have served for the model of the portrait Leonardo drew of himself in red chalk a few years before his death. M. Robert Fleury, head master of the Fine Art School at Rome, has handled the skull with respect, and recognized in it the grand and simple outline of this human yet divine head, which once held a world within its limits.» If a skeleton of a man dead aged 67 was 1.727 m long, very probably in his prime he was much taller than that, maybe between 1.75 to 1.80 m tall.

Why don't you change to the Metric System? It's much more scientific, accurate and linear. Imperial units definitely belong to the Middle Ages! Instead of saying Glenn is 5ft 6-5/8 in you could simply say he is 1.692 m tall (and not the 1.727 m he claims to be). So much more simple, accurate and intelligible to most of mankind... 1 cm difference in height is important. With the Imperial units you have to deal with... fractions!

Hi rob I'm 19 in 3 months and I'm 5'11 (180.5cm) and 183cm out of bed. Since my 18th birthday I've been growing 0.5cm every few months. I started puberty at 13 and I think I'm still going through puberty. My dad is 169cm and my mum is 165cm and my double-first cousin is 24 and 178cm. My other cousins have been known to grow past 19/20 years old. I have body and facial hair but I still look kind of young, the only reason some people think I'm older is because of my height. Are my growth plates still open? Do you think I could grow to 185cm?

Rob, what would you estimate to be your margin of error for a typical listing? Assuming it's someone relatively famous whom you've had a pretty good look at, how close are you usually confident in saying your listing is? Within 0.25 inches? 0.5? 0.75? Might make for an informative add-on to the top of listings -- just below the height, you could include a declaration of how close you think you must be. For example, "X is 5ft 10in. Likely margin of error: 0.5 inches"

I would say a good chunk I'd place within a 1/4 inch but a fair wack in that 'within 0.5 inch range'.]

[Editor Rob: claim what you feel comfortable saying. I would personally go for the 'almost 5ft 10' wording as that covers the range you are in. If you wear really thin sneakers and say 'about 5ft 10' more people might think you are less than 5ft 10.]

here's a test for you, rob. if a girl's mother is 5'8 and her father is 6'0, how tall would you expect that girl to grow, even if she is already 16 and only 5'4 ?
[Editor Rob: it could depend on whether either parent had later growth genes. You could have a situation of still gaining 3-4 inches at that age, even for a girl, if it's in the genetics.
But she may have inherited more of the shorter genes and not gain as much.]

Hey Rob. Something really exciting happens after a full nights sleep every morning. When I first jump out of bed and immediately measure myself after putting on my 1 inch running shoes I stand 6'0"! However my actual height after standing all day barefoot is 5'9 15/16"! Between my morning just out of bed height plus shoes on there is just over 2 inches difference than my evening barefoot height! I've always wanted to be 6'0" in barefeet! Never made the mark! I just turned 50 in August and I can say for sure that I haven't lost any height whatsoever as of yet! I was 5'10" by age 18 and began to measure myself obsessively after age 18 hoping that I would grow to 6'0" by 21 but it never happened. Oh well I guess 5'10" is close enough that I reach the 6 foot mark very briefly with shoes on first thing in the morning! Pretty awesome!

Additional question to my previous one on 30th September. My friend also measured his own height under my compulsion because he's very conscious about it and usually feels small.

Additional question to my previous one on 30th September. My friend also measured his own height under my compulsion because he's very conscious about it and usually feels small. He was glad to find out that he's 170.5. At least that made him happy. But I believe I have a considerably little advantage against him barefoot. How much is a fraction according to you, Rob? I could round it up to 171, but I'd like to know. Thanks!
[Editor Rob: sometimes being within 1/4 inch inch means you can barely tell any difference, so really only if you put something on heads or go back to back and have someone look at both of your heads, could people tell that difference apart.]

[Editor Rob: in your case if you say 175cm to people, most are never going to think you are not that height. If I had those measurements I'd probably go with 175 myself...or 'about 5ft 9']

how is that possible rob? I am just a hair over 176 cm in night and i hit 5'10 (177.5 cm- 178 cm) with shoes on. I am not anywhere near 179cm to 180cm. very strange i dont get it. Like my wardrobe is 160 cm and it comes beneath my nose or at point of my nose. But thank you for your answer rob.

[Editor Rob: some people kind of lean back/forward and don't stand as upright...the beam tries to hit the highest point, but if you lean back or forward it might not get the highest point of your skull and get your height wrong a fraction. The weighing portion should be far more accurate though.]

Hi Rob. I have a way of measuring myself that I personally think is possibly quite accurate. Standing about 3 feet away from my bathroom mirror I take my tape measure and hold it under the front of my big toe and then pull it to the relative level of my head. Looking in the mirror I am extremely convinced I get a spot on measurement! The further back I stand from the mirror the more clearly I can see the top of my head! I consistently have measured myself as 5'10 3/4 out of bed and after standing all day I dip to a tiny fraction below 5'10". Do you think my measuring method is able to give me an accurate reading?

Rob you are of the opinion that one doesn't grow that much after 18. Can you please say just a little about what made you come to that conclusion. I measured 180cm in june 2012 at almost 18. The following year I measured 180cm again in september 2013 at almost 19. In august 2014 close to the age of 20, I measured 183cm. Last month (now approaching 21), I did another medical and came at 193cm. The reason I'm asking you is because I discovered that I didn't grow 1cm for almost 2 years (june 2012 - september 2013) and then grew 13cm in 12 months (at over 18 years). N.B most of the measurements were taken at midday (between 12PM and 2PM) though the one I took in june 2012 might've been earlier ( I don't remember the exact time but its probably around 10AM and 11AM).

[Editor Rob: the research on it shows that from 18-21 the average growth is small, so the vast majority won't grow. There will be a smaller percentage who do gain, even some gaining significant (several inches) during that period...]

Rob are their any celebrities that you are sure are 5'11.5". That height is interesting to me. When I mean 5'11.5" I mean that is the height the celebrity most likely is. For an example leonardo dicaprio is listed 5'11.5" and that is because that is the top end rage even though he is proven to be 5'11". Do you know celebrities you are sure that they are 5'11.5". What should I search to find 5'11.5"? 6'0"?

I don't believe that all VIPS lies on their height, 5-6 hours are much! A person is measured and weighted by doctor in early morning(2-3 hours , at most 4 hours since wake up), example visit 10-10.30 a.m (wake up 8 a.m.).
Now I don't know how much diffirence there is between a measure after 3 hours and a after 5 hours but believe max 1 cm!
Here in Italy is suggest measure own height of morning because evening bring shrink of 1-2 cms or more!

[Editor Rob: hair can be tricky, but the more I've observed of styles and where skulls are, the better I think I could get an idea how much a hairstyle adds.
Sometimes what looks thick doesn't add that much, other times a style is deceptive and the person is getting more than it might look.]

[Editor Rob: views of height can change depending on the height you are and the circumstances (groups of friends might influence how you feel). At 5ft 8, 5ft 11 feels tall to me, but generally once you get into 6ft range in public I think in most countries you are tall (or at start of that range).]

Rob I have a question. How much height can you lose from age and do you think it's possible to lose this much in your 40's. My father is 5'11 1/8" at the end of the day and he says he was around 5'11.5" or 5'11.75" when in his 20's while in the military. He has gained 200 pounds in the past 20 years and he is 43 years old. He doesn't have any back problems just weight and heart problems. He weighs 360ish and was he ever that close to 6 foot and shrunk or do you think he lied about being a six footer like most 5'11 guys do.

[Editor Rob: Jakertini, I think it is possible by mid 40's to lose that amount of height, although generally most men might not really lose much more than a small fraction by 45, such that it would be hard to even tell. Some people have jobs which cause wear&tear, others might develop disc degeneration early, some lose cartilage, fractures in discs, some women even develop early osteoporosis in 40's.]

I found this site by many attempts to get as close to a correct height of Sarah Michelle Gellar since on the I M D B site which I've been using mostly for shows, movies, episodes and their titles to keep my collection of such things accurate and chronological. But, my insatiable curiosity always gets me reading any info posted by those who are not necessarily the Celebrity or their representatives, but by fans like me if they know something about whatever celebrity they give trivia about, or life stories, etc.
On that site it lists Gellars height as 5'4" and the same height for Alyson Hannigan. I've been watching my Buffy collection and every time her and Alyson are walking together Alyson is clearly inches taller. Also in the Showa Gellar typically wears short boots with what looks like at least two inch heels, and yet walking next to Alyson wearing sneakers from Converse, and Gellar her typical footwear, Gellar still is quite a bit shorter.
And for those who have written that Charisma Carpenter is less than 5'7" I strongly suggest try looking at her in this cast including whatever footwear she and the others around her in any scene and she is (as of her departure to Angel after Season 3) she is the fourth tallest in the show. Angel, Xander, and Spike are taller. Drusilla is almost the same height as Cordelia when she is standing up straight which is not often because her character is nearly always moving in crouching positions, or sitting or lying down.
And YES as one person wrote, just like the cast of Happy Days...BTVS show is a cast of mainly midgets so the central character won't look like she is standing in a hole most the time. Her scenes with Angel who almost always looks like he's hunched over (he's supposed to be my height at 6'1" and perhaps he is since he towered over Buffy. And then her other "boyfriend" Riley was also at least a foot taller standing with Gellar, but I couldn't find a print height for him. I'd have to guess he's at least 6' if not closer to 6'2".
It's simple between Charisma Carpenter and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Carpenter is very likely 5'7" or 5'6" and Gellar is likely 5'2" or perhaps even a tiny bit shorter. None of which truly changes my life since I'll never meet either or anyone famous in my lifetime, but I had to satisfy my curiosity and answer some remarks I've read on this site about these two women.

Do you give any bodybuilders' heights? I'm just curious. Toney Freeman in particular because he claims 6'2, which is extremely tall got a bodybuilder. But on his instagram he stands eye to eye with Gary Sheffield (5'11) and is a lot shorter than Marcellus Wiley (6'4). In a shorter man's sport it's easy to add inches if you're a little taller. Just wondered if you had ever looked into that.

Rob how do I keep a large portion of my morning height. I am a weak 6'2" and want to be as close to 6'2" as possible. In the morning I can be around 6'2.25" or 6'2.5" depending on my sleep could I maybe be a flat 6'2". If I drink a fair amount of water I am 6'1.5" at the end of the day and If I don't get enough I dip to 6'1 3/8". Another question is what is my eye level I am around 6'1.5" at the end of a good day

[Editor Rob: I'd say your eyelevel should typically fall around the 5ft 8.5-9 range, somewhere in that zone. To keep morning height, well I'd avoid doing activities that put a lot of strain on the spine, like rotating movement, carrying heavy bags...but really, if you took 5-10 minute lie downs every couple of hours, you might maintain a better height through the day and not reach your low point. ]

Rob, what would you happen to choose more. Morning height or Night height?
[Editor Rob: since you drop a lot of height within first 2 hours, by the time you are out the door for work you will be closer to your low height than your morning. I think giving an afternoon height is perfectly fine.
Technically you can give your morning if you want, but I'd maybe mention it if you told people...you could be near 5ft 10 out of bed and a friend the same height knows he was 5ft 9 at 3pm...if you say 5ft 10, he might think you are lying, but say '5ft 10 out of bed', maybe it makes more sense. That person might not even be aware of out of bed height, they might check their own as a result!]

[Editor Rob: unfortunately I never wore it that long so didn't get many with the celtic tops! I felt going more neutral was the best way.]

Rob, how much of a discrepancy do you think there is between the height that women find most attractive in men, and the height that men would like to be? Do you think men overestimate how tall women want them to be? What about the reverse for women, as their preferred height range relates to the general preferences of men?

[Editor Rob: I think it might be between 1-2 inches. Most women with a 6ft man would think that was quite an attractive height, were many men might think 6ft 2 is the height many women hope for!]

[Editor Rob: there are people who I don't think get the joke about Miracle Height Increase...I would hope nobody seriously would think magic pills or liquids can make you taller.
It's absurd to think you can grow 2 inches with magic formula, but actually some people will use tricks to make you believe they grow taller. I performed that 2-inch height increase trick in one continuous take to prove the point about how easy it would be to fake a height increase...]

Rob, today i was in a store that were selling the house furniture. Then i was looking at fridges,to my delight few of the fridges had measurements ( Height, width and Depth) estimated and written on them. Out of my curiosity i started to measure myself with couple of them. First it was a small fridge estimated to be 156 cm. Then i stood next to a fridge that estimated to be 172 cm. when i stood in front of the 156 cm tall fridge, the roof or top of the fridge was at middle of chin or lower side. Then i stood infront of the 172 cm tall fridge, the the top of fridge touched my hairline or upperforhead. How would you estimate my height based on fridges' measurements?

[Editor Rob: unfortunately you can't...unless you have bad posture and hidden height.
There's an idea that if you have developed poor posture then exercise/stretching can help you regain or reach your maximum height...so it's worth trying if you know your posture isn't good.]

Hey Rob, I'm 18 years old and I'm 5ft 6. Ive never experienced a profound growth spurt or any kind, and was wondering if i still have time to grow another inch or two? my mum is about 5ft3 and my dad is about 5ft 11. Thanks

[Editor Rob: if it's in your genes it will happen. I'd ask your parents if they or even any of their siblings (assuming they have them) had any sort of growth about 18-20 that they remember...this might give you a better idea if it is still a chance or not.]

Rob does stretching really increase people's height I am 172cm and if I do some stretching and then step on the stadiometer would I be as high as 173cm how much taller will I be by doing some stretches?

[Editor Rob: if you are young it can be part of a routine that might make you maximise any growth left. If you are 25+ and have bad posture it might help, if you are a bit dehydrated and start to drink better and do stretching I believe that can help a little.
But if you are fit and already flexible? Look at guys like Bruce Lee, Van Damme or martial artists like that. They spent a ton of time stretching/exercise through their 20's but did they grow? No, they already were at their physical maximum, the stretching didn't do anything apart from keep flexible.]

Hi rob what is Jenny's height before bed in the morning and in the afternoon?
Hi rob what is Jenny's height before bed in the morning and in the afternoon?
[Editor Rob: currently she can get on the stadiometer near 5ft 8.75 and at her low can dip to 5ft 7.75, but I've been working with her on posture and the last few times her low has been 5ft 7 7/8ths on the device.
I did a video months ago of her absolute low which was under 5ft 7.75, that's after being up for like 24 hours and not being that well hydrated.
That's an extreme, everybody after conditions like dehydration or intensive sport could measure a little less than their typical low value.]

Rob, is it ever ok to claim just your morning height or will that be a problem?
[Editor Rob: it's not wrong, because it is of course a valid measurement. But it only lasts a short time.
I suppose a question if you claimed a morning height would be when you met someone who claimed afternoon or evening height, both of you same size, possibly claiming nearly 1 inch apart...]

Hi! I couldn't find where to request a height. Could you please add actor James Tupper? He's listed everywhere as being 5'9'' but it really doesn't seem right. In "Mercy" he looked two or three inches taller than 5ft 8in Taylor Schilling and the same for "Revenge" with Emily VanCamp, who according to you is 5ft 8.25in. Thanks. See Click Here

[Editor Rob: they're not huge cowboy boots like 2 inchers, but they definitely give 1.5-1.6 at least...which if you were wearing a 0.6 inch converse and standing beside him, he'd have an inch footwear advantage over you.]
