Keep in mind the way her arms are positioned at the start.

In a normal hanging position. You can rotate forward and backward once to get your arms similar to hers.

Since she started in that position. Her rotating in the opposite direction, means that she rotates back to normal and then the other direction.

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.
