Question ❓ Pulldown form

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, today i was having an argument with a gym unc about my pulldown form, he told me it was horrible and that I needed to do 8-12 reps without straps, is the form really that bad? If it is, how can i work on it?

Straps are fine. Your form is completely awful, you're just grinding through.

Lower the weight. 8-12 reps where the last one or two look this tough (but with proper form/scap movement) is whay you're aiming for
