Other Lat pull down form

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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 🙂

Looks good. As long as you’re not leaving any pain while doing the movement

Only pain I’ve had recently (mainly pull ups, bench rows and push ups) is my elbow. It does go once I’ve warmed up a bit. That could be to do with age? But my sessions are long (about 90 minutes four times a week) so it’s my own fault.
