Rob that "Bust a Gut " posture is your true height. Nearly Everyone who gets measured is doing this like that.I understand your point that we can hold this only for a few seconds but still its not "cheating" just improving posture to the maximum.I think you can really claim 1.74.

[riccardocondorelli]

still don't get why Rob claims 173 cm while he's 175 cm in the morning and 174 in the afternoon lol

Busting a gut is legit every doctor I’ve went to told me to do it plus you should claim the height that you measure at in PM not night so if you get 5’8 5/8 and there’s a 1/8 error you’re truly 5’8 1/2 174cm

[lukeand]

You’re closer to 5”9 then 5”8, I don’t get why you would underscore your height if you’re not freakishly tall.

The cdc actually recommends to doctors that patients take a deep breath before a height measurement, so not doing that is really just under measuring yourself

[charlesdefilmer]

" BUST A Gut height " simply means standing at your maximum height.

Usually before a measurement, I bust a gut, then breathe out completely while maintaining that posture, and then only I take the measurements. I feel by doing this, it helps you to stand as straight as possible, yet at the same time not really "busting a gut" on purpose to get a few additional mms.

By doing the bust a gut I can literally grow half an inch or possibly even more. So is that my proper height?

[MM-iufk]

No you can hold it for long and talk you just have to work on your breathing technique. Plus as a model you do stretching if you want to be perceived as taller. Then you have to work on your feet working the foot muscles and additionally whilst being measured moving your feet so they are not flat on the ground can give you a full centimetre. The back and the neck you can stretch it out whilst being measured but you should do stretching and strengthening exercise for those with scoliosis everyday physiotherapy exercises to straighten out your spine can make a difference varying from case to case up to 10 cm

Rob I think you are a good 174cm or 5'8.5. in every video you are measured its never a flat 5'8 but a bit taller

[thescout]

So busting a gut during measurement is proper? When i measure myself, i do not bust a gut to maximum, but I am standing as straight as possible with empty lungs.

[tayonatv]

Wow stills counts...therefore anyone that’s 182 cm can claim 6 ‘0

[vegeta]

so if I measured almost 6'2 in the morning but then in the evening I'm 6'1 1/4. what's my original height?

[IrTehDrOddball]

Rob, where can I buy one of those height measuring things? Love your videos, by the way!

[seanwinter]

rob doctors ask u to breathe in when measuring. slide down and breathe out i get a good 1/4 taller using this/ method.

[konkoor]

my bust a gut makes no difference though

[jacktorrance]

How do I even know if I'm busting a gut or just standing tall?

[Bass-Boosted]

Im dutch and im smaller (5 foot 8.5 - 9) than 6 foot (avg height) so im kinda screwed.

[Phantom-ezzv]

im with rob on this one, 99% of the time you will stand normal without busting a gut, so why share a fake image of you

Hi Rob!

I'm 16 years old (born 2000) and when I meassure my height I get 1, 78 but when I look at it then it looks too short cuz my eye level is way higher than it should be for a 1, 78 and it may be cuz I meassure myself with a pencil and I might hold lower than I should. Plus when I record myself and I walk past the black line on the wall that says 1, 78 I lool taller than that.
What do you think my height is?

By the way how tall do you think I'll be?
My dad is 1, 83 and mum is 1, 58.
I almost never eat unhealthy food and I get 9+ hours of sleep every day and my weight is 65 kg. Plus I drink 6 glasses of milk every day and a lot of water.

Thank's! :)
