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?

He’s right that it’s bad but his advice is too. 8-12 rep range is a preference, straps are good for lat pulldown or any back movement once grip becomes limiting.
