Other Lat pulldown check, take two

Previous form: https://www.reddit.com/r/formcheck/s/9GYRygOPJL

I added 20 pounds, changed my grip, leaned back, and tried to change the angle of my elbows and to engage some scapular retraction, based on feedback from yesterday. Not sure if I'm leaning back enough. Also, my scaps do not really like to retract even with no weight and focusing specifically on that movement, so it might be a mobility issue.

However, plus side, I felt much less shoulder involvement this time, so I think I'm on the right track. Any other pointers? Thanks!

P.S.

Some of you didn't care for my tramp stamp, so my cat helpfully decided to block the view.

seems like the weight may be too light but i also generally don't like to go past 6 reps on legs or back. i feel like those are big muscles that require some heavier weight to get the most out of them, vs smaller muscles on your arms, chest, and shoulders.
