6´2 1/2 is possible if Big Z is closer to 6´4. Big z 191,5 this dude 188,5

Rob, is 6ft2½ arguable?
At times he seems to have close to an inch on Eddie

Editor Robfrom his wakening up height, you could argue 6ft 2.5 would be an ok listing.

Can you do last years winner? Novikov - see this video at Click Here 21:51 where they stand next to each other.
Novikov is listed at 6'1" and that just seems impossible.

Editor Robwithout watching some footage I cannot recall much about his height

Eddie measuring 190cm barefoot mid-morning I'm not convinced on as he's clearly edged by this guy. Out of bed he might scrape it though. The 6ft2 listing for him is ok but possibly falls a little under it in the evening. This guy on the other hand looks a very solid 6ft2 and unlike Eddie would genuinely at an earlier point in the day have a decent crack at 190cm barefoot
Not a chance this guy is under 6ft2 at his low

Met Martins at Nationals in 2017. A pretty strong 6'2" guy. He's wearing flats while Z is wearing olympic weightlifting shoes that have a pronounced 1.5 inch+ heel.

Looks considerably shorter than 6’3 Big Z here. Slight footwear and posture advantage for Z but his age compensates. Can see Martins as a weak 6’2 strong 6’1.75 guy. What Do you think Rob?

Editor RobYou could imagine 3-4cm in that shot, but I wonder if Martin is at a slight disadvantage in position.

Rob considering that u have Eddie here 6’2 Martin should get 1/4 inch upgrade or Eddie 1/4 inch downgrade. Legit half inch difference if Martin stands stright. In this picture Click Here he is taller even with slightly posture advantage to eddie.

Editor RobI think Martins was the more honest, Eddies' 'measurement' wasn't as believable, because he would then surely look taller than Martins.
But remember there are guys who met Eddie who estimated him as 6ft 2 plus, so I can't dismiss their in-person and photographic evidence.

Rob, what do you think of Licis in this clip with 6'3.25 combine measured Vernon Davis? Even with the footwear difference, Licis looks 6'1 range.

Editor RobDidn't think he really looked as short as 6ft 1-1.5 there, nearer 6ft 2 I could have bought.

Very strange height claim esp being a pretty open honest guy.
His height does seem to fluctuate hes looked close to 6 3 when young and much lighter.
He honestly barely looks over 6 1 most times 6 2 or the half maybe early am.
Hes taller than eddie who is 6 1 range cant recall him next to z who used to be 6 3 range.
Funny guy awesome athlete and cool guy too.

Looked a good bit shorter than Zydrunas Savickas in a recent video from the Arnold Classic. Check out the 7:30 mark (Click Here)
I would say he falls into the 6'1.5 range. Probably means guys like Bradley Martyn, Mike O'Hearn, and David Laid are closer to 6'2 than 6'3.

I assume you are referring to this video?

Martins says Larry is taller than he thought (around 0:40), not that they are the same height. As you point out yourself, Martins is clearly taller. I think Larry was surprised they are close in height because Martins at the time was 65lbs heavier than Larry.
Honestly, Licis can look a solid 189cm around Wheels. I think 6'2¼" is fine for him, though.

No, Licis said that he was surprised they are the same height. I do believe Licis is taller but no more the 6'2 and a quorter.

He looks considerably less than this with 6'6.25" Rob Grownkowski in this video clip (second item in set):
Click Here
Even without a direct side-by-side comparison that looks way more than 4 inches difference.

Well, it was Larry Wheels that said that. He says that a lot with taller guys. Licis is clearly taller.

Idk where he said that, but from what I've seen he always seemed a couple inches taller than Larry...Either way, I believe 6'1.5 is the worst possible he could be, while the 6'1.75-6'2.25 is the likely range.

This strongest men in the world looks like weak 6ft 2 but definitely taller than My favorite Mexican-American Professional Boxer named Andy Ruiz Jr with 5ft 11 range.

He had a video with Larry Wheels and he said he was surprised to see they are the same height(Larry is 6'1). You can look it on youtube,It's in the begining of one of their videos.Now it is hard to judge height of some one standing next to you to the exact centimeter but he is probably no taller then 6'2 after a few hours of walking.
Plus he was listed 6'2 at the WSM 2017 and they usually add an inch. Maybe these days with all the fame he is listed 6'3

I think that Licis is 6'1.5" and Eddie Hall 6'1" These two look clearly shorter than legitimate 6'3'' guy Zydrunas Zavickas.

Wow, really great addition! That's awesome, Rob.
I am big fan of Licis. He's obviously an enormously powerful man with the healthiest ego I've seen. I'd expect nothing less than an honest evaluation from Licis, so it's great to hear how he's aware of how height varies throughout the day.
