so i'm reading here where the forearm is supposed to be vertical:

and i'm watching this video (3m 16s) where they specifically say it should be angled:

does it depend on each person's body?

just find what works for you, if your putting your forearms at an angle like Starting Strength says just make sure you don’t exaggerate it and make it into a JM press.

Overthinking it. Biggest point from the video is making sure you push up and back at an angle rather than just straight up
