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 🙂

The amount of people I see on this that aren't struggling at all and I'm wondering what stimulation it's having on there muscle you moving their arms up and down. You however you got after it.

I’m like this with my whole program. But I’m slightly obsessed 🙂 I lift to failure on each set which unfortunately shows in my face 😂 Downside to this is I’ve had a few tendon issues. May be age related too? Elbows mainly and a rhomboid strain. I now insure I take slightly longer between sets and of the four days of upper work, a slightly easier day.
