How to Measure Yourself: Forced Posture Measurement

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2014
  • You can measure yourself quite simply with a tape measure, an aerosol can and pencil against a wall at home.
    But does forcing your posture for a measurement really add much more height?
    Rob tests out his Stallone posture to find out.

    I finally measured myself right after I woke up at 4am and I was 6'4.5''. I measured myself a half hour ago when I came home at 5pm and I shrunk to 6'3.6''.

    Hi! I suggest the more flexible one's spine is, and/or the stronger the abdominal and lower back muscles are, the more the gain in standing tall or forced. And in both cases, don't arch the back but instead pull-in your belly.

    Rob, I use the exact same method (except I use a thick hardcover book) when measuring and I consistently get just over 185cm in the evening (8-9pm at the earliest). Yet when I'm using casual and less accurate methods, such as putting the metal end of the measuring tape under the left side with my right foot and having a guess where the top of my head reaches on the tape through the mirror, I get 182cm-184cm, never higher. The last time I got proper measurement with a stadiometer I was 16 and I got 184.2cm exactly (which 6'0 1/2), so I doubt a 1/2 inch increase through the years is not that outrageous, yet I'm getting these readings for some reason. I thought usually when people utilise these innacurate methods, they get higher and exaggerated figure than the height they typically should seem. I've used this video's method a myriad of times and I still get 73 inches barefoot. I do suffer from posture issues (hyperlordosis) so I guess it would be a challenge to stand straighter while holding a measuring tape? I'm very unsure to be honest.

      If I may answer you, Steve: Try using a long, flat object like a level. If you use a can, make sure it is about 10 inches in height. Also, note that your height changes during the day, too.

    Hey Rob, I posted this question on another video of yours, but think it would be more appropriate here. I never know how to place my head when facing the wall. It either naturally tilts forward, or it leans back and I'm sure it's skewing my measurement, because there is a discrepancy. When my head is leaning back, I'm usually taller than when it's tilted forward (when facing the wall). Can you talk about this, or even make a short vid showing how you know if your head is straight when looking at the wall?
