Those things don't change because of height.

Actually height has a tremendous effect on work completed, aside from the fact that shorter limbs yeild far higher leverages than longer limbs because of how our muscles work, shorter people move the weight a shorter distance, meaning per rep the muscles are engaged less time. That's why shorter guys lift more with the same muscle mass. Ever see Franco deadlift? It was nuts for a guy his size, yeah he was a powerlifter, but rest assured a large part of his high maximal strength was due to his compact build. He wasnt even that strong when he started lifiting.
