why am i slightly taller with anterior pelvic tilt?

[YoungRichNigga]

title,
when i force my posture forward and stand tall as much as possible with an anterior pelvic tilt, I am approximately 1/8-1/4 of an inch taller. How is this possible? i thought apt was supposed to make you shorter not taller.

Just measure on one leg bro, you could be like 6'1" that way

Well okay there are a few possible things.
First you could've measured yourself incorrectly one of the two times. And if you think you couldn't measure yourself incorrectly multiple times it is possible that you are just subconsciously confirming your bias.
Or, maybe your posture originally isn't good anyways. So apt is a step up, and good posture would be another step up.

Also, 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch is literally nothing, I can't see how you would measure your height that precisely without a machine or someone doing it.

i use an extremely straight object to measure my height against a door, which has a flat surface at the bottom and I marked the heights with a carpender tape, I also did this at multple other locations which yielded the same results, so accuracy is definitly not the problem here.

Like I said, confirmation bias. You expect to get a taller height so you subconsciouly move the object slightly up. I will test it on myself and see though.

@YoungRichNigga I got an inch shorter when I tried to mimic anterior pelvic tilt. Maybe you are angling the box up?

nah bro, Ive already confirmed this multiple times, maybe its because i have bad posture or I wrongly thought I had good posture in the first place, idk man this shit is confusing.

a whole inch is a lot...

Yeah because with anterior pelvic tilt your body angles forward instead of upwards, it makes sense that it would make shorter. idk how it would make you taller
