Me, in numbers
A few measurements that explain why standard furniture and I have a difficult relationship.
Numbers are usually more useful than “very large.” Most of these are approximate; biology does not come with tolerances stamped on the side.
Height
2.4 m
Close enough that ceilings are usually fine. Doorframes vary.
Body mass
~300 kg
Yes, floors and furniture sometimes matter.
Shoulders
~1.0 m
Standard doors are optimistic.
Arm span
2.55–2.70 m
Useful for reach. Less useful in crowded rooms.
Hand length
31–35 cm
Custom gloves. Obviously.
Foot length
42–45 cm
Custom footwear. Standard sizing is for other people.
Overhead reach
3.2–3.5 m
Ceiling fixtures stop being a ladder problem.
Tail sweep
1.4–1.6 m
Behind the hips. Give it room.
Comfortable doorway
≥1.2 × 2.6 m
Anything less becomes posture practice.
Water
6–10 L/day
Baseline. Dehydration is boring and preventable.
Active-day fuel
6,000–10,000 kcal
There is a reason I cook in bulk.
Before somebody asks: no, I’m not putting lifting records on a personal website. If you need to know whether I can move something, tell me what it weighs.
