Set the trail arm at address like giving blood

To start the trail arm in the correct place at address, the instructor says to turn the arm as if giving blood so the elbow points more downward and moves closer to the body, then turn the hand onto the grip. He says this puts the trail arm in front of the body at the start of the swing.
