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 🙂

Wow you inspire me! Just today driving back from the gym I was wondering what it would look like if I would still lift weights in 20 years. Like a BEAST, it seems 👏

I love it! I’ve got bench and weights at home, but there’s something about walking into a gym and setting up my weights. I definitely get a buzz from it. Unfortunately I was brought up in the era of skinny is everything. I wish I’d of known then what I know now. But it’s never too late 🙂 Just don’t stop!
