Lock Offs with twisting arms on Aerial Hoop is a very advanced variation of lock offs that requires mobility while holding a position of strength. These share a lot in common with the conditioning drill Up Over Down since the arms are having to work independently of each other. There are a number of advanced skills that require the ability to twist the arms while holding weight in them so this is a good drill for more advanced aerialists.
As always, definitely train these on both sides of the body which means switch the grips and twist the hoop in the other direction.
