For those familiar with this excellent work and the bent press in general, or even the Master Mr Whitley himself...

Taming the Bent Press on page 84 says-"People who have a torso that is even in length or longer than their femur will do better with a straighter-leg style. Folks with a longer torso and relatively shorter legs will do better with a more “squatty” style."

I believe one of these should be a shorter torso and longer legs...but which would it be?

Gracias
 
Not to speak for Mr. Whitley, but I would think that the second sentence is the correct one, and the first is mis-worded. Typically, people with a longer torso are inclined to be better at squatting, while people with a shorter torso (torso length all being relative to leg length) tend to have the advantage in a hip hinge pattern.
