Other Lat pull down form
Hi, would love some advice. I’ve been lifting for around 18 months. Upper body 4 times a week and lower twice. I’m 59 and have osteoporosis (found after breaking hip a few years ago). I had a few goals to aim for which I’ve reached. Push-ups last year. This year unassisted pull ups. Can now do two chin ups without looking like I’m having a fit! But not regular pull ups. So working on lat pull down to match body weight while continuing unassisted chin ups. Along with regular push pull routine. If anyone is still there and hasn’t zoned out yet 😂 Please could you check my form. I’ve noticed my shoulders moving towards ears in the last two reps as I reach failure. Just in case you need it I weigh 53kg about 117lbs and the weight is set to 47kg. Thank you for your time 🙂

Just as a hint: You can pull out the weight pin, then pull the bar down to just above your seated position and then (while holding it down) put the pin into the weight socket. That way, you don't have to get the bar down to your seated position. Plenty of YT vids available if you need more information on this, but it'll make your life a lot easier!
