What's up home slash Lucas here in this video , I'm gonna share with you 10 hacks you can instantly do to make you appear taller .
Pay attention by the end of this video , you're gonna have the knowledge necessary to make yourself appear much taller , but you gotta focus number one , the triple H the hidden high heel .
So this is super basic , but it works so freaking well .
All we're gonna be doing is we're gonna be stacking up material on our heel portion of the shoe giving us a lift in the back very similar to why women wear high heels .
So they appear taller .
The difference is people aren't gonna know you're wearing a heel lift and you don't need to pay any expensive money to do this .
You do it yourself .
Take the sole out of the shoe , which is the little padded part down at the bottom .
It should come right out on those shoes .
So literally just kind of pull it out like this .
You know how you get those doctors .
So I'm using these napkins right here to show you that you can be a macgyver .
You can do this anywhere you're out to dinner .
You're like , oh my gosh , I need to gain an extra inch .
This chick is tall .
You don't need to get crazy with it .
Just fold it into cubes .
Pop that in the heel portion right in the back right there .
You see that reinsert the sole and make sure it's not crinkled in any weird ways .
Oh Look at that .
That is lifted .
OK .
Now you put the shoe back on .
Look at that .
See before , after the triple H , that one really works .
Trust me .
Now , the second one is so important and almost all guys nowadays can literally appear 3 to 5 inches taller just by fixing this .
It's your posture .
Now , before you're like , oh bro , I've heard of that before I need to fix my posture .
I need to get my head up , you know , I need to stand up taller .
No , you need to look in the mirror .
All right , most people when they fix their posture , they're not fixing anything .
They're just kind of wiggling around differently .
When you fix your posture , you wanna bring your head up , keep it straight , pull your shoulders back and have your spine align .
What I found out is like literally one of the best ways just to kind of start kicking your posture back into shape and do it instantly .
Is the foam roller .
Let's get on your roller here .
Relax and do it .
Oh man .
Just be easy .
All right .
Don't feel any weird pinches .
You just wanted to kind of like massage your back .
All right , just massage that tight back and most people would be very , very tight and with one little tweak for most people just like that , you can go from like this to more this , you're literally putting on 3 to 5 inches right there .

Number three , changing your apparel to work for your vertical appearance .
Something I realize that works for some people is wearing a more fitted pant .
Oh God , for example , I'm literally wearing these right now which are more baggy pants .
Ok ?
Look , I'm just gonna stand right here .
But now when I change to these , I always wanted to do that .
These , I'm instantly looking taller .
What's something different about you ?
You're looking tall , you're looking taller and you might not wanna hear it .
But if you're someone who likes to wear shorts and you've always been wearing those baggy shorts , well , if you wanna appear taller , it can help to wear shorter shorts , so short shorts .
Zack wears short shirts .
Number four , the fourth hack to appear taller , something I like to call layering .
This is a hack for the upper body .
Now let me explain why this hack works so well .
First of all , what this hack is going to do is it's going to make our shoulders appear wider than they already are .
You would think having wider shoulders would make you actually appear shorter because you look more like a square .
However I've realized in the past when I see someone with very wide shoulders , my brain fixes things and it makes them appear taller to me .
So that things just naturally work out , your brain likes to make things fit .
So for most people , if they see you and you're short , but you have wider shoulders , then you'll actually appear taller than you really are .
How to pull this off .
If you don't have wide shoulders , if you're short and you have very narrow shoulders .
So I got a shirt on , I'm gonna throw this long sleeve on , throw a sweatshirt on and boom , just like that .
I already look bigger , which is gonna make me look taller to the average person .
Now we can get even more crazy .
Throw another coat on , look at those shoulders , just widen right up .
This might not be ideal for most people , but if it's really cold out , you , you can get away with some form of this .
Ok .
This isn't gonna work for everyone .
So I have more hacks to fix that .
Just stay tuned .
Get there in a second .
Do a little deviation here .
We're going to the social media .
So how to appear instantly taller in photos without doing photoshops and like lengthening yourself out .
You know what I mean ?
Because so this is super easy .
If you wanna appear taller in pictures , just do it .
All you gotta do is literally use a lower angle because now you tower over the camera and you appear taller to the camera , lower camera and then out angle objects in the background .
So for example , this mirror while it may be , you know , a foot and a half taller than I actually am .
If I angle it , if I stand a little bit in front of it , look this , look at it .
Compared to this field of view , I actually might appear taller than that mirror .
A lot of people who may be shorter , actually have the same length of a torso as someone who may be taller , for example , myself , right ?
I kind of may have a shorter torso .
Hate to admit it .
It's my legs that might be slightly longer .
Alright .
My .
Now if you're someone who's short and you know this , if you're tactical , you know this and you wanna size up or appear level with the other person , change the status of standing to sitting .
I'm serious .
Boom .
Because when you're sitting , it's basically all your torso length .
Now , if you're someone who's shorter and you plan to use this tactic to your advantage , there's another step you can do to this , that over time will make you appear even taller while sitting and that's growing your booty doing exercises to grow your butt bigger , think about it .
When you sit down , you'll be sitting more off the chair because your butt takes up more space and you'll appear even taller .
I literally had a friend who was 55 .
Right ?
But when we sat down at a restaurant , he was taller than me because his butt was so big .
Number seven , this one's super easy .
You can do it right away for most people appearing taller by having higher hair .
So for example , I've been trying to push this down right .
But watch this .
If I , if I pull this up , pull it up , you know , you can use product and stuff , I'm just , you know , I'm going quick .
Oh Look at that .
I'm like an inch taller because I got that to stand up .
Boom .
Number eight being more muscular just like I showed with the layering with the clothes .
This one works better if you're in a warmer place because then layering isn't as comfortable .
You don't wanna do that if you're not muscular right now , this one might not work good for you at all .
However , it might work a little bit because you can make your muscles appear bigger by getting a muscle pump .
That's right .
If you wanna appear instantly taller , maybe do a few push ups right now , ok ?
Get blood to the upper body muscles and then maybe do some lateral raises , that'll get more blood to the lateral shoulders , the lateral delts which will make your shoulders appear wider which will make you appear taller based on what I said earlier , which is , if you have wider shoulders , then people brains will make you be taller to even things out and then put on a medium shirt .
OK .
A s medium shirt .
What's that ?
That's a shirt that's somewhat tight .
That makes your muscles look even bigger .
And by having even bigger appearing muscles , people's brains will stretch you out and make you look taller than you actually are so deep in the voice too .
It's all about the illusion .
So this shirt isn't small enough or I'm just skinny .
Number nine , I am serious .
This one actually works .
So you're out on a date and now most days these dinner dates are gonna be at one's house or somewhere where there's a little more control over the environment due to certain circumstances in the world .
So with that being said , use your own utensils or bring your own utensils and make sure he or she , the one you're trying to appear taller to has bigger utensils so that you have smaller utensils making yourself appear bigger before you laugh .
I am serious .
So I have these utensils , they're bigger , but watch this .
Now .
She has the bigger utensils .
I have the smaller utensils .
Now , if you get in a bind where it's like , why are utensils so small ?
All you gotta say is they are really small , aren't they number whatever ?
Get smaller friends serious if being tall means as much to you and you , it's like life or death , just get smaller , friends get friends that are shorter .
Most friends nowadays are made online .
So you just kind of look at their profiles and look for their height measurements or just see them compared to other objects .
Be like , all right , we can be friends .
You're short enough because if you have friends that are smaller , you're gonna appear taller .
It's stupid .
I know it's stupid .
But people are nuts .
And number 10 confidence , having confidence in your current height , no matter what that is will actually make you appear taller .
Yes , it will when you don't have confidence when you're like , just like , oh so ashamed about how tall you are , it's gonna make you look even smaller and more invisible .
But if you're just confident , not by being like over cocky and just like like a jerk basically , but just being confident and thinking who cares , whatever ?
Like it doesn't matter on a subconscious and conscious level to everyone around you , you will appear so much taller just by having confidence .
It goes back to that mind thing , the brain thing , it's like your brain adjusts things so that they fit how the brain wants them to fit man .
Am I butchering this explanation ?
All I'm saying is that if you just have more confidence in who you are and accept yourself , you're literally gonna appear taller to other people , the micro adjustments that will happen in your body and in your body language will literally make you appear taller .
