Do Squats make you SHRINK in height?

[EL Mariachi]

totally serious here, one day a few years ago i tried on a pair of old 11's that i had and i couldn't have squeezed into them with a shoehorn and they used to slide right on without even untying the laces.

Haha maybe you should use kiwiol's ethiopian elbows to stomp your foot in to the shue. Is that pic still on getbig where kiwi is sitting at a table outside with a broad. I swear he had some goddamn pointing to ethiopia elbows.

Let's not forget weight gain. I think Squad has noted his at 240lbs. Need some good stabilizers for that at 5'11"*.

*guesstimate: see matt c for definitive height/weight

put it to you like this, i started squatting seriously in 1995 when i was 23, before that i was between a size 10 1/2 and 11 depending on the shoe, now in 2008 my shoe size is 12 and in some shoes 12 1/2, how do you explain that?

Stop buying Chinese shoes! Or Chinese Growth, one of the two

yeah getting fat always makes your feet grow in LENGTH.

It does.  I was a size 14 when I was 25 lbs heavier than I am now, and I am a 13 now.

Personally, i think that they do. I started training about 5 years ago. I have a friend that i was about 1/2 of an inch taller than. He don't train. These days I'm a half of an inch samaller than him. Ok, shoes etc may come into affect hear, but I'm convinced that they do make you lose height. After every session i always hang from a chin bar for bouts of 30 seconds to stretch out the spine. I don't seem to be shrinking anymore.

last I heard only stupidity does, but seriously, if you want to be shorter  try an ax.

I know its uncalled for, couldnt help it...
