Set- the direction you jump. The body position can be changed, holding your arms above your head is not effective. I can do a whip with my arms above my head and go straight back. I cringe when I hear people yell SET bro, you got that if you just set setting is a directional thing. You can set in an arch, you can set in a hollow, generally what is trying to be said is jump upwards before you flip as in set in the right direction, not straight backwards This is something that seems to defy understanding, which I dont get -- Jump in the direction that gives you the most strategic height. Usually for back flipping/twisting, that means set in the direction you came from so you cancel your linear momentum and get launched upwards. This works for tricking transitions too.
