You technically get shorter throughout the day just beacuse of gravity, and slightly shorter right after lifting, because your spinal disks get compressed. They decompress back to normal size after a little bit though. It's nothing noticeable either.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Yes squats make you shorter; if you want to be taller, do chinups.

I think the difference is extremely small, so you might not be able to measure it with commonly available tools. Originally Posted by Gazhole

Hang from a bar to make yourself taller. It worked for Bobby Brady.

Actually, over the course of a lifetime gravity has quite a noticeable effect on a persons height. People into their 70's and 80's may have shrunk an inch or two from the time they stopped growing. And, as CP pointed out, you do shrink a tiny bit throughout the day, which reverses for the most part while you are asleep, though not completely. Makes you wonder how you'd end up and the end of your life if you slept standing up all the time.
Wasn't the idea of traction, or hanging upside down big in the 70's or something? What ever happened to that?
As for squats, the positive impact they have on the body overall far outweighs anything negative.What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

Just hanging there does have a stretching affect on the spine, I'm just not sure if you'd need to hang for hours to make it worthwhile? Originally Posted by assassin
