It doesn't, my best friend from school and I lifted all the time since we were 14 and he's 6'6.
(we also used to stay up till 4 AM playing Guild Wars, Counter Strike, and WoW... I think I'm still catching up on lost sleep 6-8 years later...)
Nice bench for your size, though.
Probably around proportional to my strength at that age. I put up 325 lbs at 16, but that was in a competition and I weighed 210 at the time (slimmed down to 175 now, but still make time to lift at least three times a week despite my work schedule... My favorite is deadlifts.) I'm 5'9 myself, so not particularly tall either, though not really short.
