So, fit, those of us who use strongman to get in shape, it really bothers me when I catch manlets out exaggerating their height.

Now, Hafthor is at most 6'9", and Brian Shaw, the current WSM, claims 6'8".

I believe Shaw is more like 6'5".

Pic related, the mountain grabs Shaw by the pussy.

Nah, Shaw is legit that height. The difference in that pic is part perspective, and some competitors use boots while doing stones to make the final part of the lift easier
>>
>>40136414

Except, they both had normal shoes on. At 40:00 in was the stones. In the insta replay Thor steps right past Shaw in slow motion. Either Thor is over 6'9", or more likely Shaw is under 6'8".

Same reply I said when this same screen cap was posted over at /asp/

"Keep in mind though, most guys are up to an inch taller in the morning that in the evening, due to gravity on the cushioning between your bones and vertebra slightly compressing them. Thor might be 6'9" evening, and Shaw might be 6'8" morning. -So technically Shaw isn't lying or at least not trying to be deceptive."

>>40136543

Nice cope faggot. Your hero Shaw is just a 6"5" maaaaanleeeet
>>
>>40136478
to be honest, that looks like 2 inches height difference at the very most
Shaw is definitely taller than 6'7, I have a friend who is legit 6'7 and was in a pic with 6'6 Terry Hollands, Shaw looked taller in comparison to Tel than my mate did
>>
>>40136572

In the video it looks like at least 3 inches still even when they entire cross paths.

That said Phil Pfister, 2006 WSM, who is 6'6" himself said that might be taller than 6'9", possibly 6'11". He said nobody has measured him since he was playing basketball at age 17.

Nurses at doctors offices often don't measure anyone so tall they'd need to bother with getting a chair to step on, they just save time by asking.

So, Thor could be taller now than when he was 17 yrs old. Meaning Shaw could still be 6'8".
>>
>>40136640
Yeah, I always thought Thor was taller than 6'9. He's leaner than Shaw so he'd look bigger at that bodyweight if he was only an inch taller

>>40136694

But honestly how realistic is it for a guy to not know how tall he actually is?

Being height is so important to anyones identity as a man?

It might be if you're a manlet
honestly, strongman height and weight listings are always pretty fucking wrong. Shaw is usually listed at 180kg when really he's around 200

they haven't really got any reason to lie about their height like wrestlers do to sell tickets.

Im 6'7 myself and from what i've seen of shaw he does look taller than me
>>
>>40136780
Shaw is genuinely a monster
his hand is bigger than candytoe's head
>>
>>40136738
There's barely any difference and that angle is terrible for judging height.
>>
Hafthor is 205cm. He and his trainers have said it in multiple interviews.

When he was at his heaviest he was 205kg becasue he wanted to try being the same weight as his height.
>>
>>40137114

Then how is Shaw 203cm when theres a 5cm difference even in the video version?
>>
>>40137156
Well someone must be lying
>>
>>40136896

You see two angles of the video, the first normal speed around the 4:10 mark, and again at 4:52 in slower motion at a different angle, and Thor passes Shaw, same plane, same camera distance, at least 3 inches difference, equal footwear.

Thor is 6'6" tops, Shaw lucky to be 6'4" I know because I saw them in person at a powerlifting contest

Bell is roughly 6'0"

Shaw is likely as tall as he claims.
>>
>>40136350
Fucking manlets adding inches to their height, right guys?
>>
>>40137316
Bell 6ft? Fuckers lucky to be 5'8" he is

>>40137336

Righty mate, oughta be called the "worlds strongest Manlet"

The oughta get some real men out there to show these height&frame cucks how it properly done
>>
>>40136350

Wtf you gotta slip hairs over an inch ir two, ok we can tell Thor is somewhat taller. Shit both are almost 7ft and built like King Kong
>>
>>40136350
Your daily reminder that president of the United States e statted his height to keep from being "obese" in his medical report.

> Trump is """""6 ft 3 in"""""
> Obama is 6' 1"
>Trump clearly shorter than Obama in video

http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/01/20/donald-trump-obama-depart-us-capitol-vo.cnn

All so his BMI would be 29.5 instead of >30. What a fat cunt.
>>
>>40138330
He was 6'3" when he was young. Trump is 70, Obama is 55.
Trump is 6'1", maybe 6'1.5".
>>
>>40139652
How tall he was decades ago isn't what is being discussed retard. The report he released in 2015 said he was 6' 3", which is a blatant lie, and conveniently puts his BMI below the obese range. He's clearly shorter than Barack Obama who is very reliably 6' 1". Trump is a fat manlet.

hats and camera angles, having met both in real life at the same time honestly hard to tell a difference in height what so ever.
