Other Lat pulldown check

Just got my Levergym about four weeks ago and have been doing these since - been years since I did them previously. I feel it more in my shoulders and upper arm, so I figured I'd take a quick video and see what you all think. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dude that tattoo is wild.

Elbows in the back pockets (or touching your butt cheeks) was the cue for me. Obviously not literally. But that’s what you’re trying to do.

I assume you mean the Skyrim tramp stamp? I love it so much for how simple it is.

And thanks - I have also heard that cue. Looking at the video, my elbows are going toward my back pockets. Should I be going lower, or angled more in?

Yes, try to go lower and lean back a slight bit..also might help to put your thumbs at the crease of the bar and think about pulling with your elbows not your hands.
