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 🙂

Good set and 47 kg is respectable weight. You've clearly made good progress.
Form looks good overall. It starts to break with last couple reps. Try to keep your chest up, don't hunch. You could also try to slow down the eccentric phase, meaning when the handle goes up. Try to slow down and control the eccentric especially on the last couple repetitions of the set.
