just a confusing question about height measuring.
« on: December 02, 2015, 01:57:19 PM »

hey everybody i'm now on the LL.
right now i've lengthen 2.6cm.
my original height is 159cm (measured in many places and i'm pretty sure it's precise or 0.1cm error).
but today i measured my height: 160.5cm
i should be 161.6cm right now but i'm only 160.5.

so here is the question: does any LLER measure his/her height during the LL and find out it's lower than it should be? well, my posture is fine since my leg can stand pretty straight.

similar method as yours. external one on tiebia.
i am wondering that the height right now is incorrect since the difference is 1cm. maybe i should measure my height after i fully complete the LL?

Could be many reasons. Night height vs morning height could vary by a cm or two. Duck ass could lower your height a bit, since you're slightly bent. The measuring machine you're using could be not accurate. Perhaps you're not actually lengthening and the device is broken.

Here's how I measured my height when I was lengthening. I looked for a fixed object hanging on the wall or some kind of marker. I made sure that it was at eye level. For me, it was my fridge. Then as I got taller, I could see that the marker was getting shorter. By the time I was done, I could see the top of the fridge when before the top of the fridge was at eye level.

i am sure that i measured my height at similar time.
so, is it possible that duck ass can result 1.2cm error?

Yes. Duck ass can result in a 1 cm loss, but you gain it back when you fix your duck ass by exercising your muscles more and stretching. Just bend your fingers a bit and you can see how your hand appears to be shortened after you bend it. That's what duck ass does to you, except for your entire height.
