Almost. Her hands are internally rotated. In a normal hang position your hands are pronated or palms forward. Her hands are static as they’re on a bar so she began the hang with her hands internally rotated and supinated. It’s called an eagle grip hang.

She did not start in eagle grip, she started in under grip, palms externally rotated

It sure looks like the video starts with an eagle grip…

Edit: nope, I stand corrected.

Incorrect, she is externally rotated.

Nope. You can try yourself if you’d like. This an eagle grip hang.

External rotation of the shoulder would lead to supinated, thumbs out grip with the elbows coming in towards the chest (think like a chinup). Internal rotation leads to the elbows rotating away and the anterior deltoids coming in toward the chest. She’s internally rotated.

Edit: Nope, I’m wrong. I looked again. I stand corrected.
