I agree with Full ROM but do you not think that someone with longer arms may go to far if they touch their chest? I agree with going past 90 but is there a limit that could be two far? Longer arms will leave you going way back?
If you are looking at the degree of motions at the joints, they are the same if you are 5'5'' or 6'5'' if limbs are proportioned the same, so there is no real issue of joint/muscle injury if you are tall.
The partial ROM due to height seems silly. If you were running, would you run the same distance stride as a short person? Of course not, because it wouldn't work for you mechanically. You need strengthen your personal mechanics through full range if your goal is to be functionally stronger.
