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
Juan Hernandez
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."
Ayden Carter
Nice cope faggot. Your hero Shaw is just a 6"5" maaaaanleeeet
Colton Ross
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
Easton Bennett
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".
Lincoln Harris
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

>how do camera angles work: the post
Aaron Baker
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?
James Mitchell
This is for you:
Jacob Russell
>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
Nathaniel Martin
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
Joseph Howard
Shaw is genuinely a monster his hand is bigger than candytoe's head
James Morris
There's barely any difference and that angle is terrible for judging height.
Carter Green
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.
Adrian King
Then how is Shaw 203cm when theres a 5cm difference even in the video version?
Charles Wood
Well someone must be lying
Cooper Morgan
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.
All so his BMI would be 29.5 instead of >30. What a fat cunt.
Zachary Gomez
He was 6'3" when he was young. Trump is 70, Obama is 55. Trump is 6'1", maybe 6'1.5".
Liam Smith
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.
Dylan Morris
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.
