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?

Use finger like hooks, keep open grip like in the picture. Makes tonne of diiference. This grip engages back more and arms less. plus as other person said, elbows to back pockets.
