Rob Paul from CelebHeights demonstrates what you shouldn't do when Measuring Height. These are methods you certainly shouldn't be measuring your height with. Also, no hats either! #shorts
Rob how come i’m taller if I measure with like a shoe box or simply anything longer (that’s also flat) than a spray bottle like the one you use. Does head size become a factor at that point ?
The bottle may not be touching highest point...I use something like 9 inch long can and if facing wall (even an inch away) it will still hit high point...if your nose is 2-3 inches away from wall and you put a 7-8 inch can, a chance it might not hit the high point of head.
If they are standing with same shoes/posture and you are looking closely, you might notice. But generally it is harder to spot 1/4 to 1/2...when it gets to 1 inch, many people will really notice that difference.
Question, when i measure my height, am i allowed to stretch my spine and body as high as possible, because it feels a bit unnatural, but idk, so i am asking. Thanks in advance. edit: because when i stretch it adds 1 whole centimeter to my height.
Hi rob how accurate do you think this self measuring method is: 1. Measure the height of a flat doorway (flat doorway & flat ground) and record that height. 2. Stand under the doorway (with correct posture) with the top of your head in-line with the back edge of the doorway. 3. Hold a tape measure from the back edge of the doorway and extend it until it touches the top of your head. Try to keep the tape angled as straight as possible. 4. Hold the tape still on the doorway so it doesn’t wind in or out and step back. 5. Record the measurement where the tape meets the edge of the doorway and subtract it from the overall height of the doorway. For example: My doorway is 199.3cm, the measurement from my head to the doorway is 12.5cm, 199.3 - 12.5 = 186.8cm. I think it’s a pretty accurate method as long as you can keep the tape straight and not angled. Would you agree?
Yeah, your heels can sink in, but when you rest the tape measure on the carpet, that isn't sinking in, so you are effectively undermeasuring your height. Of course, the thicker the carpet the greater chance...some carpets are thin or very tightly woven, so the error might be small in that case.
@@RobPaul How about measuring with your back on the wall vs your face facing the wall with a long bottle? I found out that when i measure myself face towards the wall i tend to get 1- 2 cm shorter. When i measure myself the other way, i get my true height. And im sure i am not moving the bottle while trying to turn my body without moving my hand to see the result of the bottle line on wall. Can we do an experiment about this please? Thx Rob.
Rob is it weird that I’m having a bit of a growth spurt at 21, I went from 5”11.75 to 6”0.25 in a month, I measured 9 hours after waking up both times, in the exact same way and place
@@RobPaul interesting thing is that it happened after I got sick with covid, I got an increased appetite from covid, and started drinking a lot of milk, taking vitamin D and sleeping a lot, maybe that had something to do with it
Hi Rob, in my case I'm 1.90 when I just get out of bed, but at night I'm 188.3 or 1.88. Of course with shoes I am always 6 foot 3 (1.91). So if the difference is 2 cm during the day, do you consider it appropriate to state that the average, 189.2, would be the correct height? I think the same thing happens to me as Tom Welling, Idris Elba and Ashton Kutcher.
Cani measure height daily i didnt gre w 2years when i was 14 5feet3 now also this at age16 i streched and little bit at fivefeet 4😭😭😭can iget taller i measure daily is it problem 😭😭very disappointed
People always guess me to be around 6ft4 but I measured for the first time and apparently im only 6'2.5 (189cm) in the morning and 6'1.5 at night (187cm). What height should i claim ? I always tell people im around 6ft2 or 6ft3 now.
If 5’11 ¼ was the before bed height at night, then 6ft is definitely possible since a ¾ inch loss is about average. If it’s midday then that’s be a decent loss
Hey so I have a question about my height, so I had a doctors appointment 3 weeks ago and I was 5”10. At home I get 5”9 sometimes 5”10 then I had my bro measure me and I was 5”8 and a half so I’m wondering if I’m actually 5”8 and a half, that was my old height a year ago just kinda of curious even though my friend is 5”10 we both look the same height, I’m probably 5”9 and a half but I’m wondering if the doctor is right
you can claim whichever the hell one you want to because everyone will be too short to know the difference. :P Even at 6'2" you dwarf the shit out of me and if you claimed 6'10 I wouldn't be able to tell. Much less your average dude or a short girl.
Nice video Rob !! Rob, I am 184.5cm at lunch time..I wanted to know what height would it be written on my driving licence? I don't think they will go into fractions and write 6ft 5/8th inch 🤔 plz can you tell me
Never understood why people consider barefoot height your “true” height. Last time I checked we don’t walk around barefoot in public or when we’re working. Makes absolutely no sense. Shoes is your true height, I don’t care what other people say.
Are you joking? Some shoes add 1.5cm and some others 4cm or more, there's no standard on shoe soles. True height is barefoot height a few Hours out of bed, period.
@@user-os5pq4hr1p bullshit. read my comment. you don’t walk around barefoot all day. you’re height in shoes is your real height. and shoes only add a very small amount of height, it’s not like you’re going to be 4 inches taller from wearing tennis shoes. so quit with that shit
Are you born with shoes or do you gotta buy some. Also jack some shoes can give half a inch some nearly 2 inches your saying they that your height can vary by any shoe you were that’s stupid. Barefoot is your true height. Shoes is your true nba listed height
The boots are Elevator Boots with big lifts inside, so I go from a proper 5ft 8 to near 6ft in them...very hard to walk for long periods of time in those boots though.
You could still gain a few cm and reach 6ft...many kids end up taller than their Father, but a fair amount also don't quite reach their Father's height.
I’m 21 and weirdly had a half inch growth spurt in a month, went from 5”11.75 to 6”0.25 at night, I did start working out calisthenics and drinking and eating dairy maybe that helped
🤣🤣 this hand mistake I was doing for years. I am 32 have 162 cm heigh but with the hand measuring method I was having like 166-170cm-the hand was always go up. My ex even to this days measure himself like this he think he is 185 cm but he is not cause he have new girlfriend that is 175cm and when they stand close to each other there is only 2 cm diffrence the most. So how he can be 185cm in his dream maybe 🤣🤣
Yeah but it’s very expensive and you gotta be in a wheelchair for a year and they break your bones and they beak the femur which is the hardest and most painful bone to break in your body so why would we do that?
Rob im just over 178cm out of bed and im 176.6cm before bed does 5’9.5 a good claim for my height although i want to ve 5’10 :( ….I think i look 177cm most of the time
Get a half inch gel shoe insert and you can feel like a legit 5'10 in public. It's such a small increase no one will know even if the shoes come off. I use one because I wake up at 6'2 and a quarter and dip to 6'1 and a half...I know it's a silly mental thing, but feeling like a legit 6'2 in public with the insert makes me feel better. haha
Sloped floors can definitely effect measurements, as can a wall that isn't perpendicular to the floor. How much is harder to tell. Sometimes it might be a small fraction, but if the slope is quite big you could easily be mis measuring half an inch.

You could but your muscles might ache for a while if you do it too much
Keep your shoulder back and head looking as straight forward as possible (which actually raises height instead of looking up when measuring)
Stretch ur spine and body but keep ur feet flat and head level. Stretching ur spine even if it’s unnatural is still part of ur height
That wink though 🔥
